-'''Medina''', also known as ''al-Madinah al-Munawwarah'' (المدينة المنورة, lit. "the enlightened city") is a city in the Hijaz region of the Arabian peninsula, today ruled by [[Saudi Arabia]]. It is considered the second most holy city in [[Islam]], is host to the second most holy mosque in Islam (''Masjid al-Nabawi'', lit. " the prophetic mosque") and is the burial place of [[Muhammad]]. While not a mandatory part of the [[Hajj]] pilgrimage that all able Muslims are required to make at least once in their lifetimes, most Muslims who visit [[Mecca]] also end up visiting Medina as well.

 As with [[Mecca]] (the holiest city in Islam), entrance to Medina is restricted to Muslims only; non-Muslims are neither permitted to enter nor travel through the city.
