Muhammad fawwad

The old name of this city was Yathrib.It was changed to Madinah(originally Madinah tul Nabi,or the city of the prophet) when the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him)migrated to this city in 622AD(or 1AH). Millions of Muslims come to this city every year to visit the Prophet 'sMosque(or Masjid-e-Nabwi). Madinah is also in Saudi Arabia with a population of over 1.3 millo

Makkah is the religious centre of the Muslim world.It is the city of the holy Kaaba, believed by Muslim to be the house of God.Traditionally, Hazrat Ismail (a.s) founded the city, and later helped his father, hazrat Ibrahim (a.s)raise the holy Kaaba . Since then, the sacred building has been vreconstructed many times, but the foundation have remained the same. The holy prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) was also born in this city, which is visited by almost 3 million Muslim everyyear in the month of Zil-Haja. Makkah is located in Saudi Arabia and has a population of over 1.5 million

Hazrat Muawiya became caliph after Hazrat Ali and shifted the capital from kufa to Damascus (Damishque in Arabic). He founded the first navy in Muslim history to fight the Byzantine fleet in the Mediterranean Sea.Towards the end of his life, he nominated his son, Yazid,and asked the people to promise loyalty to Yazid.Muslim historians see this as the beginning of monarchy(or the rule of kings) in the history of Islam(a king is always succeeded by his son or some other close member of his family). The rule of Yazid was strongly opposed by Iman Husain (razi Allah anhu), the son of Hazrat Ali. He was martyred, along with his family members, in Kerbala in 680.
