There is a story in Islamic tradition about how the location of the Prophet Muhammad's mosque in Medina was chosen. According to the story, when Prophet Muhammad and his followers arrived in Medina, they were looking for a place to build a mosque. They needed a place where they could gather to pray and worship together.
While Prophet let his Camel decide where to stop, people saw that that camel wandering around, and it suddenly stopped in a particular spot. The people who were with the camel tried to get it to move, but it refused to budge from that spot.
Prophet Muhammad and his followers saw this as a sign from Allah that this was the spot where they should build their mosque. They began building the mosque, and it became known as the Prophet's Mosque.
This story shows how important signs and symbols are in Islamic tradition, and how Allah guides people to make important decisions. It also shows how the mosque is a central part of Islamic worship and community life. The Prophet's Mosque in Medina is still an important place of pilgrimage and worship for Muslims today.
