Mosque of the Prophet

Japanese: 預言者のモスク - よげんしゃのモスク(英語表記)Mosque of the Prophet
Mosque of the Prophet
This mosque is second in historical and religious importance to the Holy Mosque in Mecca. It was built by the Prophet Muhammad himself in 622, adjacent to his residence in Medina. Originally, it was just a simple prayer hall made of rubble, sun-dried bricks, and date palm leaves, but it was expanded and remodeled several times, and the mosque we see today was rebuilt in 1483 under the Mamluk sultan Qait Bey, and restored during the Ottoman Empire. It is an important mosque that served as a model for later mosques.

メッカの聖モスクに次いで歴史的,宗教的に重要なモスク。 622年,預言者ムハンマド自身によりメジナの住居に隣接して建造された。最初は,荒石,日干し煉瓦,ナツメヤシの葉などで造られた素朴な礼拝室にすぎなかったが,増改築を重ね,現在のモスクは,1483年マムルーク朝のスルタン,カーイト・ベイの時代に再建され,オスマン帝国時代に修復されたものである。後代のモスクのモデルとなった重要なモスクである。
