Fateh means victory. Place where victory of battle of khandaq was announced. There is a small prayer area inside.

Al Fat'h Mosque, also known as Al-Ahzab Mosque or Al-A'la Mosque, is located in the Battle of Al-Khandaq
"Trench" area. It is one of the places where the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be Upon Him) prayed, specifically at the dome site that was built for him during the Battle of Al-Khandaq). There are six additional mosques on the site, collectively known as the "Seven Mosques," and each is attributed to a companion, such as Abu Bakr, Omar, Ali, Salman Al-Farsi, and Saad bin Muadh (May Allah be pleased with them). They were built during the reign of Omar bin Abdulaziz over Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, and they were restored at various times.
They were known as the Seven Mosques, despite the fact that there were only six of them; probably this was due to the rebuilding of Bani Haram Mosque. Some historians believe that the seventh is Ar-Rayah Mosque, due to its proximity to Al-Khandag area and its connection to the battle.

Ma Sha Allah very big masjid in the area of Al Khandaq Battle. There were seven mosques in the area, 3 demolished and this big masjid constructed.

Battle of Al-Khandaq (Al-Ahzab)

Al-Khandaq Battle occurred in the year 5 A.H, it was known as Al-Khandaq relative to the trench dug by the Prophet north of Al-Medina aiming to deter the parties (Al-Ahzab) and stoping them from entering Al-Medina. Among the monuments linked to the battle is As-Selea mountain where the Muslim army is mentioned to camp between it and the trench; Al-Fateh mosques located west of the mountain where the Muslim army camped and they are four in number, the first of which is Al-Fateh mosque located on top of a portion of As-Selea mountain where the Prophet prayed in its place and appealed against Al-Ahzab for days and his appeal was answered; the remaining mosques were known by the names of the Companions and they are: Abu Bakr As-Siddiq mosque, Ali ibn Abi Talib mosque and Salman Al-Farisi mosque, may ALLAH be pleased with them. The mosques were probably built during the reign of Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz on Al-Medina (86- 93 A.H) in the Umayyad period. Later two other mosques were built in Al-Khandaq battlefield, and they are: Umar ibn Al-Khattab mosque and Sa'ad ibn Mo'az mosque. These mosques were renovated during the Islamic periods.

al-Fatah Mosque (مسجد الفتح) is one of the historic Seven mosques (المساجد السبعة‎), located south of Mount Sala' which was the scene of the Battle of the Trench. This small mosque was built where according to tradition the Prophet Muhammad's tent was pitched and he made dua (supplication) during the Battle of Ahzab and where Allah revealed the glad tidings of victory. It is one of the Seven Mosques built at the site of Ghazwa Khandaq (Battle of the Trench). This is the largest mosque of all, and it is located beneath of Mount Sala' on the western part.

The al-Fatah Mosque at the site of the Battle of Ahzab, view towards west. This small mosque, which is situated atop a small cliff is one of the most visited mosques in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It is narrated that this mosque is named as "Al-Fath" due to the account of the prophet praying here during the Battle of the Trench, and the battle ended in Muslim victory (in Arabic, "Fath" or "Fatah" means "conquest" in Islamic context).

Although the mosque is often visited by the pilgrims, there is no accounts in the order from the Islamic prophet Muhammad or in Sharia regarding the virtue of visiting these mosques. The Mehrab wall and the approach staircase with a few people. The mosque was built during the time of the Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz, and renovated by the minister Saifuddin Abu al-Hija in 1154 during the time of the Sharifate of Mecca. Most recent restoration, circa 1990 CE, was carried out during the reign of Fahad bin 'Abdulaziz al-Saud.

Masjid al-Fatah (Arabic: مسجد الفتح) is where the Prophet (ﷺ) made dua (supplication) during the Battle of Khandaq and where Allah (ﷻ) sent him the glad tidings of victory.

Supplications of the Prophet (ﷺ):
Jabir (رضي الله عنه) reports that the Prophet (ﷺ) made dua for three days (after the ritual prayers).
From amongst his supplications were:
“O Allah, Revealer of the Book, swift in taking account, turn the confederates to flight, O Lord defeat them and cause them to quake.”
“There is no God but Allah, the One who conferred upon His armies the honour of victory and helped His servant and routed the confederates alone; there is nothing after that.”

The prayers are answered:
On the third day of the siege, between Zohar and Asar, Allah (ﷻ) answered the call of His Messenger. Jibraeel (عليه السلام) was sent to give him the good news that Allah (ﷻ) had responded to his prayer and promised him victory. Masjid al-Fatah marks the spot where this happened. Fatah is Arabic for victory.
Soon after, a fierce wind raged that dispersed the pagan confederates and the siege was lifted.

Other names for Masjid al-Fatah:
Masjid Fatah is also known as Masjid Ahzab and Masjid A’la. A masjid existed here at the time of the Prophet (ﷺ).
It is one of the group of masjids known collectively as Masaajid Sab’ah (The Seven Mosques), the others being Masjid Salman Farsi, Masjid Ali, Masjid Umar, Masjid Sa’ad, Masjid Abu Bakr and the seventh is Masjid Qiblatain. Some of these masjids have now been dismantled.

Jabir (رضي الله عنه) reported that Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prayed for three days after the ritual prayers, seeking victory. On the third day, between Zohar and Asar, Allah (ﷻ) answered his prayer through Angel Jibraeel (عليه السلام), promising victory. Masjid al-Fatah marks this significant event.

Places related to Allaah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) are of high importance.

Then what about places where Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) had prayed? Yes, there are many places in and around Makkah and Madinah where Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) offered special prayers.

It was during battle of Khandaq (called Al Ahzab in Qur'aan) when infidel army from Makkah came to capture and demolish Madinah, the city of Allaah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم).

It was in 5th Hijri year when Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and his companions were not well equipped with enough provisions for a battle.

Salman al Farisi (رضي الله عنه) a renowned companion then put forth the idea of digging a wide and deep trench at entrance of Madinah.

Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) approved the idea and they dug a deep, wide and long trench along valley of the hill Sila’ (جبل سلع). It was an effortful job undertaken by Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and his companions counting more than a thousand. They completed the trench, though countered by lack of food and fatigue.

As expected Makkah mushriks came and was baffled to see the deep and wide trench. Army of Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) had already taken positions in strategic areas around the hill. Unable to advance, the Makkah mushriks stayed near the trench expecting food and provisions of Muslim army will dry out and finally they might come for confrontation with them.

Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) stayed in a place and prayed to Allaah for His mercy and special help for almost three days. Allaah helped His beloved and the Ummah Al Islamiyya. Verily, He is the supporter of His believers. He sent down a rain storm which terrorized the enemies and they had to flee the ground. They left their belongings and valuables including cooked food thus offering a feast to Muslim army. The battle ended without much bloodshed and the army of Islam winning! الحمد لله

There were seven Masjids later built at positions where main groups of Sahaba had took positions near the hill. There are only four Masjids seen nowadays.

Unfortunately the trench dug by Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and his companions with a lot of effort and pain was recently filled and a road is paved over it. Luckily Masjdul Fath is preserved where Rasoolullaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) offered his special supplication to Allaah.

Jabir رضی الله عنہ reports that the Prophet ﷺ made dua for three days (after the ritual prayers).
From amongst his supplications were:“O Allaah, Revealer of the Book, swift in taking account, turn the confederates to flight, O Lord defeat them and cause them to quake.”

“There is no God but Allaah, the One who Conferred upon His armies the honour of victory and helped His servant and routed the confederates alone; there is nothing after that".

Allaah سبحانه و تعالي answered the call of His Messenger and Jibraeel  عَلْيْهِ السَّلَامُ  was sent to give him glad tidings of victory.
The masjid marks the spot where this happened. Fatah is arabic for victory.

Masjid Fatah is also known as Masjid Ahzab and Masjid A’la.

Masjid Fath is one of the group of masjids known collectively as Masaajid Sab’ah (The Seven Mosques), the others being Masjid Salman Farsi, Masjid Ali, Masjid Umar, Masjid Sa’ad, Masjid Abu Bakr and the seventh is Masjid Qiblatain. Few of these masjids have now been dismantled.

Allah revealed to his Prophet the glad tidings of victory during the battle of Trench that's why is called Alfateh Mosque. It is also known as the Mosque of the Confederates because our beloved Mohammad peace be upon him supplicated against the confederates (of Quraish ) saying "O ALLAH Vanquish Confederates"

Jibran bin Abdullah narrated that the Prophet supplicated in Al- Fath Mosque three times. On Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday and he was answered on Wednesday between the 2 prayers with the good news.

beautiful, no words
