This place is belongs very significant event in islamic history. Seven mosque was actually seven watchpost bunker for the war of Khandak. Those watch post were guarding by seven commander of Prophet Muhammad SA. All checkpost were surrounding by a canal to protect the city Madina and it’s people from the enemy. Madina was win the war just because of this canal plan without anu fight. Later people comes and visit this place and start calling them Seven mosque. Five out of Seven are still there as a witness of the great war. Weekday there is no traffic or rush, but weekend is very busy with the visitor. This place is nearby from other historical place in Madina.

Very nice place and a must visit for Medina. It’s require a lot of maintenance, and people please be respectful to the property. DO NOT Throw trash everywhere. It’s a basic human thing and our responsibility to keep it clean. It’s one of the historic places of our religion.

The Seven Mosques (المساجد السبعة) is a group of small mosques constructed close to each other on the site where the Battle of Trench is believed to have been fought. Originally there were seven mosques marking the locations where the command posts are said to have deployed.

The seven mosques is actually a cluster of six mosques at the site of Jange Khandaq. There is a large mosque at the base and other mosques like Fat'h mosque uphill. Each mosque is attributed to a sahabah (prophet's companion) like Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali, Salman Farsi and Saad bin Muadh. At this place Prophet SAW offered prayers and later a dome was constructed at the site.
You can see the mountain from the courtyard of the mosque.
This is the place where Khandaq (Trenches) were dug during historic Jange Khandaq. Usually people pray two rakah Nafil at this site.
You can fund an Uber or Qayan cab from the app. It takes ~10-15 riyal for a ride to Haram Shareef.

Alhamdulillah, mashaAlllah, tabarakAllah.. May Allah bless and grant all the shuhada' in this battle to Jannah, ameen! Alhamdulillah, always crowded with pilgrims from all over the world visit here.

Alhamdulillah, absolutely amazing experience when got a chance to visit here. Feeling peaceful and grateful! Nice and beautiful scenery with the beautiful interior and exterior design of the masjid and surrounding areas.

Nice masjid there 7 masjid. Nice place.
As one of the seven mosques, Al-Fateh is significant for the fact that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed at the site for a month, in preparation for Al-Ahzab (or Al-Khandaq) Battle. It was built-up for the first time when Umar ibn Abd Al-Aziz was the Prince of Medinah, which explains why the architectural features of the mosque are called "umariyyah", after the caliph’s name. In this special style, volcanic rocks are used for the foundation. It was called Al-Fateh (Arabic for victory) because of the great outcome of Al-Khandaq Battle for Muslims.

This mosque has been built as a commemoration of the camps that were put up by the Prophet's (PBUH) companions during the 3rd Ghazwa (war). Secondly, the 7 mosques are actually 6. Probably, Masjid Qiblatayn was part of this group of 7, however, now it is a separate mosque.

Seven mosques, including Masjid Al Qiblatayn, are steeped in the history of one of Islam's prominent battles, the Battle of Khandaq. The main mosque now stands where the camp of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions was stationed.

Holy place of Ghazwa e Khandaq. Previously seven Masajid were there representing positions of Rasool e Pak (SAW) & Sahaba e karaam during battle. Now a big masjid is built in their place.

Ghazwa e Khandaq, also known as the Battle of the Trench, took place in 627 CE (5 AH in the Islamic calendar). It was a significant battle during the early years of Islam involving the Muslims of Medina, led by Prophet Muhammad, against the Quraysh tribe of Mecca and their allies.

The conflict arose when the Quraysh, along with other Arab tribes, marched towards Medina to attack the Muslims. To protect the city, the Muslims dug a trench (khandaq) around Medina, a defensive strategy suggested by Salman al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet.

The siege lasted for about a month, during which the Muslims endured harsh conditions and faced various challenges. However, due to the defensive trench and unfavorable weather conditions, the attackers were unable to breach Medina's defenses. Eventually, internal disputes among the coalition forces, coupled with strong winds and fatigue, led to their withdrawal.

The Battle of the Trench was a turning point in early Islamic history as it showcased the strategic acumen of the Muslims in defending their community against external threats. It also solidified the unity among the diverse Muslim and non-Muslim tribes living in Medina at that time.

The Seven Mosques

The seven mosques located to the west of Sela Mountain at the location of the Battle of Al-Khandaq.

These mosques are as follows:

Masjid Al-Fateh
Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed at the site for a month, in preparation for Al-Ahzab (or Al-Khandaq) Battle.

Masjid Salman Al-Farisi
Salman Al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) was the Companion that came up with the idea of the trench to protect Medinah from the invaders and kept guard on the southern flank of Sela Mountain.

Masjid Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq
Prophet (peace be upon him) performed prayer once on the site, and it was used later by Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq as an open site for Eid prayer.

Masjid Umar ibn Al-Khattab
The architectural structure of Umar ibn Al-Khattab is much like that of Al-Fateh Mosque; it is shaped like a rectangular hall and has an open yard. It is only a few meters, to the south of, Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque.

Masjid Ali ibn abi Talib
It is on the top of a hill, to the east of Fatima Al-Zahra Mosque. Like all the other seven mosques, it has seen several renovation and redecoration works throughout history.

Masjid Fatima
It is the smallest of the seven mosques.
Some historical sources state that it was originally called Muaz ibn Jabal Mosque.

Masjid al-Khandaq
Also referred to as the “Mosque of the Conquest,” is the modern mosque at the site.
It is connected to the Battle of the Trench, which took place during the time of the Prophet Muhammad.

Central Medina is open only to Muslims. However, non-Muslims have access to the outlying areas of the city marked by specific zones.

5 Masjids are together. Out of these only 2 are open for visitors and worshippers. 2 masjids are on the hill top and difficult to reach

The Seven Mosques is a complex of six small historic and often visited mosques in the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. The complex consists of six mosques in spite of the name "Sab'ah" means "seven", because Saudis demolished one.
These mosques are located in south of Mount Sela which was the scene of the Battle of the Trench (Ghazwa E Khandaq).

Incredible site to memorate the historical events of ghazva.

They call it seven mosques but are actually six. Situated in the valley of Mount Sala'. The history of these masjids are dates back to Hijra 5 when the battle of Trench (Khandaq battle) happened. The six masjids are build in the places where Muslim warriors statoned during the battle.

The Battle of Trench (Ghazwa-e-Khandaq) occurred on the outskirts of Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his army played a defensive strategy and dug a deep trench to stop the Quraysh confederates from entering the city of Madinah.

The seven mosques are Al Fateh, Mosque of Omer, mosque of Ali, mosque of Fatema, Mosque of Salman Al Faresi, One of the historical Islamic places where the battle of the trench took place. The seven mosques built on the defence position of Al Sahabah and the profit when defending the city.
