Ghamamah Mosque (Medina)

Saudi Arabia / al-Madinah / Medina
 mosque, archaeological site
This mosque is not far from the Prophet's Mosque. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to offer Eid prayers here. Once the Prophet led an Istasqa prayer (a prayer performed during times of drought to ask Allah for rain) in it and suddenly the clouds appeared and it started raining, hence the name "ghamamah" (clouds).
