## Image Caption

A photo of Al-Masjid An-Nabawi in Medina, [Arabia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Arabia/). It shows a view of the mosque from the south, with the [minaret](https://www.worldhistory.org/Minaret/) of Bab al-Baqi and the Green Dome to the right (foreground) and the minaret of Bab as-Salam to the left (foreground). The mosque was built by the Islamic [prophet Muhammad](https://www.worldhistory.org/Prophet_Muhammad/) c. 622 CE but then was later expanded by subsequent rulers - notably the Umayyads.
