Why Was The Mosque Al-Qiblatain Called Two Qiblas Mosque




Hajj and Umrah are the most sacred Journey in which millions of Muslims from all over the country come and perform Umrah and Hajj after receiving the Umrah and Hajj package. Hajj pilgrims should visit holy places like Masjid al jinn, Masjid Quba, Jannat ul baqi and Masjid al-Qiblatain.

Masjid al-Qiblatain, which is also known as the masjid with the two Qiblas is the masjid which is situated in Medina and is famous in Muslims due to the fact that the Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) changed his direction from Masjid al-Aqsa, Jerusalem to Masjid al-Haram, Makkah for prayers, which he was leading, according to Allah’s guideline.

When this happened, more of the Companions of the Prophet (SAW) expressed happiness. After this occasion, the Mosque was named as Masjid al-Qiblatein. The mosque had two distinctive arches (Qiblas).

One was towards Mecca and the other was toward Jerusalem. Recently, the old monument Qibla Jerusalem has been demolished during the rebuilding of this mosque. At this time there is only one Qibla left in this mosque, which is on the side of Mecca. On this occasion when the Qibla was converted, the moment proved to be an independent religious group for the Muslims.


The Jews, then again, began to grieve on the grounds that Muslims had built up a solid character following the lessons of our beloved Prophet Moosa (A.S). A few people from Jews went to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and requested to change the direction of Qibla into Jerusalem. They gave an offer to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) that they would acknowledge Islam after accepting only this demand (Qibla direction).

Following verses were revealed in Surah Al-Baqarah:

And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers. [2:145]

Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH) likewise said in this respects:

“The People of the Book don’t envy us for anything as much as they improve the situation the Friday given to us by Allah with which they are denied. Likewise, begrudge us for the qibla which Allah gave us yet not them, and also for the Ameen (recital after Surah Fatiha in salat) behind the Imam.”

The masjid is situated on the north-west side of Medina. And the road that leads to this mosque is called Khalid Bin Walid Road. It was at first took care of by Caliph Umar Ibn-e-Alkhatab. In the Ottoman Empire; it was maintained by Sultan Suleman who renovated it. The Qiblatain Masjid is one of the initial masjids ever.
