A Historical Gem in the Courtyard of Masjid e Nabvi SAWW…
Saqifah Bani Sa’idah, commonly known as simply Saqifah, was a roofed building in Medina used by the Banu Sa’idah clan of the Banu Khazraj tribe. Saqifah is significant as the site where Abu Bakr RA was elected as the first Caliph of the Muslims after the demise of the Prophet Mohammed SAWW.
With the passage of time the shelter (roofed building) was demolished and a beautiful garden has been built at the site which usually gets open after Fajr prayers for around 2 hours but it’s closed now a days due to construction in the courtyard of Masjid e Nabvi SAWW.
