MASJID-E-ZU-QIBLATAIN (MOSQUE OF TWO QIBLAS)
In the sixth month of 1st Hijri, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) visited the tribe of Bani Saalim which is in the north-west of Medina on invitation by Umme Bashar. As usual, he prayed two units of Zohr prayer facing Bayt-ul-Muqaddas when Allah ordered him to face Kaba. He continued the remaining prayer facing Kaba. After that, Kaba became Qiblah of Muslims forever. Hence this mosque is called 'Masjid-e-D'uqiblatan' or 'Masjid-e-Qiblatain' (The Mosque of Two Qiblas). This mosque is a little away from Mosque of Fatah towards the west.
قَدْ نَرٰی تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِی السَّمَآئِ فَلَنُوَلِّیَنَّكَ قِبْلَۃً تَرْضٰیهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَ حَیْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ شَطْرَهٗ…۔
This is a verse among the verses revealed on this incident.
Earlier there were two arches (Mehrab) opposite to each other - one facing Kaaba and another Bayt-ul-Muqaddas. Unfortunately, only one arch remained when the renovation of this mosque was done a few years ago. The first signs of this incident were erased.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّ هٰذَا مَسْجِدُ الْقِبْلَتَیْنِ وَ مُصَلّٰی نَبِیِّنَا وَ حَبِیْبِنَا وَ سَیِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ آلِهٖ وَ سَلَّمَ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ فِیْ كِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ عَلٰی صَدْرِ نَبِیِّكَ الْمُرْسَلِ: ’قَدْ نَرٰی تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِی السَّمَآئِ فَلَنُوَلِّیَنَّكَ قِبْلَۃً تَرْضٰیهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ‘ اَللّٰهُمَّ كَمَا بَلَّغْتَنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا زِیَارَتَهٗ وَ مَآثِرَهُ الشَّرِیْفَۃَ فَلَا تُحْرِمْنَا یَا اَللّٰهُ فِی الْآخِرَۃِ مِنْ فَضْلِ شَفَاعَۃِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ آلِهٖ وَ سَلَّمَ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِی زُمْرَتِهٖ وَ تَحْتَ لِوَآئِهٖ وَ اَمِتْنَا عَلٰی مَحَبَّتِهٖ وَ سُنَّتِهٖ وَ اسْقِنَا مِنْ حَوْضِهِ الْمَوْرِدِ بِیَدِهِ الشَّرِیْفَۃِ شُرْبَۃً هَنِیْئَۃً مَرِیْئَۃً لَا نَظْمَأُ بَعْدَهَا اَبَدًا اِنَّكَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْئٍ قَدِیْرٌ۔
