Makkah The Holiest City In The World..Makkah in 2020 Plan


MAKKAH is a city in the Hejaz and the capital of Makkah province in Saudi Arabia.

                                                           Saudi Arabia National Flag
The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during Hajj period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah.

  As the birthplace of Muhammad(SAW) and a site of the composition of the Quran, Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory upon all able Muslims. The Hijaz was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger empires. It was absorbed into Saudi Arabia in 1925.

In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure. Because of this, Mecca has lost many thousand-year-old buildings and archaeological sites. Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj. As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the Muslim world, although non-Muslims remain prohibited from entering the city.
Entering point of Makkah is Shown below.

It should be known that Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter in Mekkah.

Madina Munawara The 2nd Holiest City in World For Muslims


Medina اَلْمَدِينَة اَلْمَنَوَّرَة  ("the city of the prophet (SAW)") is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia,
                              
                                                           Masjid-e-Nabvi(SAW)
 and serves as the capital of the Al Madinah Province. It is the second holiest city in Islam, and the burial place of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad(SAW). Medina is historically significant for being Muhammad(SAW)'s home after the Hijrah. Before the advent of Islam, the city was known as Yathrib, but was personally renamed by Muhammad(SAW).
           

Medina is home to the three oldest mosques in Islam, namely Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (The Prophet(SAW)'s Mosque), Quba Mosque (the first mosque in Islam's history),and Masjid al-Qiblatain (the mosque where the qibla was switched to Mecca).
                                   
                                  
                                                   Hazrat Ftima (RA) house in madina
Because of the Saudi government's religious policy and concern that historic sites could become the focus for idolatry, much of Medina's Islamic physical heritage has been destroyed since the beginning of Saudi rule.
The Islamic calendar is based on the emigration of Muhammad(SAW) and his followers(RA) to the city of Medina, which marks the start of the Hijri year in 622 CE, called Hijra.

                                                                 Masjid-E-Nabvi(SAW)

It should me known by Non-Muslims that they are not allowed to enter Madina as well as pass through this holy city.
