Soleimani altar is one of the altars of Al-Nabi Mosque. This mihrab is on the right side of the mihrab of the Prophet (PBUH) and on the left side of the pulpit of the Prophet. This mihrab was built in the mosque from the 9th century and was the place of prayer for the followers of the Hanafi religion. In 938, by order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, they rebuilt this mihrab, and since then it has been known as Suleimani Mihrab.

The place of the altar

Soleimani Mihrab, which is also called Hanafi Mihrab, is one of the Mihrabs of Al-Nabi Mosque in Madinah, which is within the scope of the mosque during the time of the Prophet (PBUH), outside the Rozah, at the southern limit of the mosque (before the southern limit of Umar and Uthman’s development), front and side. The right side of the mihrab of the Prophet (PBUH) and the left side of the pulpit of the Messenger of God (PBUH) are located in the place of the third column west of this pulpit and the seventh column of Bab al-Salam.[1.  Rafʿat Pāshā ’Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn, vol4,p609.  Rāfiʿī sūdānī, Musṭafā b. Muḥammad . Ittiḥāf  al-Muʾminīn p82  ,Najafī, Sayyid Muḥammad Bāqir. Madīna shināsī vol 1,p168]

This mihrab was built in 861 Hijri during the era of Malik al-Ashraf Abu Nasr Inal, one of the kings of Egypt (857-865 AH) by the supervisor of the affairs of the Grand Mosque, Toghan Sheikh Ahmadi Hanafi (881 AH) [2. Sakhāwī, Muḥammad Tuḥfat al-laṭīfa vol1 p474.Rafʿat Pāshā. Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn vol 1 p469    Mʿālim dār al-hijra p250,251 ]. Daily prayers were led by an imam who stood at the Prophet’s altar outside the Hajj season and at the Ottoman altar during the Hajj season. Sheikh Toghan built a new mihrab in the mosque so that a separate congregational prayer can be held under the leadership of a Hanafi imam. After this date, the beginning of prayer was held under the Imamate of Imam Shafi’i, who stood in the Prophet’s Mihrab, and then Imam Hanafi prayed in the new Mihrab (which became known as the Hanafi Mihrab and later the Soleimani Mihrab). Imam Hanafi and Imam Shafi’i performed the Taraweeh prayer together in the nights of Ramadan.
