Banu Anif Mosque here is related to the journey of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as this archaeological site welcomes visitors to explore its unique features and formations. Banu Anif Mosque is located 500 meters southwest of the Quba Mosque. The restoration work of the mosque, with an area of 37.5 square meters, has recently been completed, as part of a program supervised by Al Madinah Region Development Authority and the Heritage Commission. The program aims to develop and rehabilitate several historical and archaeological sites, bringing them back to life to receive visitors, enrich their cultural experience, enabling them to see the historical sites in Al Madinah. The daylight time is the most suitable to visit the mosque and explore its details and unique unroofed architectural character, where wooden pillars were installed. This was done taking in consideration space to support walls and let air enter the stone mosque. Lanterns were also hung and the floor of the mosque was covered with white marble. Madinah is home to many mosques linked to the Prophet Muhammad’s life. Musbeh Mosque, also known as Banu Anif Mosque, is one such place of worship in the holy city where the Prophet (pbuh) prayed when he was visiting the companion Talha Bin Al-Bara. The mosque is situated in Banu Anif village’s historical area of Al Osbah, where several people who had embraced Islam had gathered before the Prophet (pbuh) when he migrated from Makkah to Madinah. According to historians, Musbeh Mosque was named as such because Prophet Muhammad prayed in it the morning of the day of Hijrah. During the reign of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, the Banu Anif Mosque underwent restoration that preserved the shape of its historic stone building. It was part of a restoration project that included several historical mosques in the Kingdom in general and Madinah in particular, within the Saudi National Program for the Care of Historic Mosques.
