Faithful in prostration in Medina.

The believers in unison in prostration on the floor in the yard of the prophet’s  صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mosque in the holy city of Medina. The illumination of the lighting contrasts with the dark black of the sky above.

Medina, city of the prophet  صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم.

Medina, city before known as Yathrib but then called ‘Medina (city) of the prophet’  صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم or just ‘Medina’ (city).
