The al-Qiblatain Mosque (Mosque of the Two Qiblas) is one of the old mosques in the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia. Historical sources state that the Prophet was praying in this mosque—located in the neighborhood of the Banu Salama tribe—facing Jerusalem (the first qibla of Muslims) when the command to change the qibla toward the Ka'ba was revealed to him. This mosque is located near a well called [[Bi'r Ruma]]. | The al-Qiblatain Mosque (Mosque of the Two Qiblas) is one of the old mosques in the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia.
