Prophet's Miḥrāb(Arabic:محراب النبي) is the place where the Prophet Muḥammad(a) prays, which is located in the Masjid al-Nabī between the Prophet's pulpit and his grave. During the period of the Prophet, there was nothing in the form of a miḥrāb, until during the development of the Masjid al-Nabī during the period of Walīd b. Abdul-Malik, a miḥrāb was built in the place of his prayer. Qāytbāy, the king of Egypt (9th/15th century) rebuilt the hollow-shaped miḥrāb by renewing the mosque. this miḥrāb was decorated during the era of Ottoman rule and is still located in Masjid al-Nabī.
History
During the time of the Prophet Muḥammad(a), in the place of Masjid al-Nabī where he prayed, there was no miḥrāb in the form of a hollow-shaped inside the wall. [1] and the place of prayer of the Prophet, had no sign except that it was next to the Mukhallaqa pillar.[2] This was the first time in the development of Masjid al-Nabī. During the period of Walīd b. Abdul-Malik (r. 86-96 AH/705-714-5), a miḥrāb was built at the place of the Prophet's prayer.[3]
During the Mamālīk period
Although historical sources do not have any reports about the reconstruction of the miḥrāb during the period of Baybars Bunduqdārī (r. 658-676 AH/1259-60 -1277-8 AD), the fourth Mamālīk king, some researchers, by examining historical evidence, believe that the first hollow-shaped miḥrāb (carved into the wall) in the reconstructions of the Baybars period was made in the place that Prophet Muḥammad(a) prayed; Because the reports of the sources before this date did not mention the existence of a hollow-shaped miḥrāb in the place of Prophet's prayer.[4] In the reconstruction of Masjid al-Nabī during the period of Qāytbāy, the king of Egypt, in 888 AH/1483-4 AD after the fire in Masjid al-Nabī, the miḥrāb was rebuilt in the place of the Prophet's prayer, and in the same period, it was decorated with marble and verses from the Quran were engraved on it[5]
In the Ottoman period
In the reconstruction of Masjid al-Nabī during the reign of king Abdul-Majīd I, the Prophet's miḥrāb, which was left over from the time of Qāytbāy, was gilded. Also, during this time, ʿAbd Allāh Zāhidī, a Turkish calligrapher, engraved verses of the Quran, texts and poems on the miḥrāb.[6] In the Saudi period, the same miḥrāb of the Qāytbāy period remained.[7]
location
The Prophet's miḥrāb was built in the place of Masjid al-Nabī where Prophet Muḥammad(a) prayed.[8] This miḥrāb is located next to the Mukhallaqa pillar[9] and in the distance between the pulpit of the Prophet(a) and his grave (Rawḍa al-Sharīfa).[10] Researchers are of the opinion that this place is the place where the Prophet(a) prayed. [11] The miḥrāb is placed in such a way that the one who prostrates on it places his forehead on the Prophet's sitting place, not his prostration place. [12] The Prophet's prostration place is placed under the miḥrāb.[13]
