Masjid Suqya (مسجد السقيا) (Mad_14)

<p>Located near the old Hijaz Railway Station, this masjid marks the site where the Prophet Muhammad (<span dir="RTL">ﷺ</span>) prayed before departing for the Battle of Badr. It stood on land owned by Sa&rsquo;d ibn Abi Waqqas (r.a.). It was here that the Prophet (<span dir="RTL">ﷺ</span>) declared Madinah as a Haram (sanctuary) like Makkah and prayed for double blessings upon its land and provisions, following the example of Prophet Ibrahim (<span dir="RTL">عليه</span> <span dir="RTL">السلام</span>). The headcount of the Muslim army before the Battle of Badr was also conducted at this site.</p>
