Mosque
Masjid al-Suqyā (مسجد السقيا)
Omar Bin Al Khattab Rd, Al Suqya, Madinah 42315
Modest domed mosque marking where the Prophet paused to pray and drink before marching to Badr.
This guide to Masjid al-Suqya in Medina opens at dawn in Ramadan of the year 624, as the Prophet Muhammad pauses at a well on the edge of a lava plain to drink and pray before leading around three hundred followers toward a far larger caravan near Badr. It follows the review of his ranks, the prayer he offered for his hungry, barefoot men, and a later story of a caliph sent to this same spot to pray for rain during a drought. Stand near where that well once stood, now folded into the old railway grounds.
