The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Mosque of Al-Ghamamah ( ) is one of the oldest mosques in Medina , Saudi Arabia , located in the place believed to be where the Islamic prophet Muhammad performed an Eid prayer in the year 631. It is also narrated that Muhammad offered Salat ul-Istasqa when the city of Madina faced a shortage of rain. However quite recently it has been reopened for the worshipers for praying. Five times prayers are held in this mosque now with an internal sound system to avoid the clash of sounds from the Prophet's Mosque . The mosque is one of the historical relics of Medina.1
