Saudi
expansion of the Masjid
The original Masjid was not that large, and today the original
exists only as a small portion of the larger Masjid. From
1925, after Medina surrendered to Ibn Sa'ud, the Masjid was
gradually expanded until 1955 when extensive rennovations
were carried out. The latest renovations took place under
King Fahd and have greatly increased the size of the Masjid,
allowing it to hold a large number of worshippers and pilgrims.
It is also completely air-conditioned and decorated with marble.
The newer and older sections of the
Masjid are quite distinct. The older section has many colorful
decorations and numerous small pillars.

The
Masjid is located in what was traditionally the center of Medina,
with many hotels and old markets nearby. It is a major pilgrimage
site and many people who perform the Hajj later go on to Medina
to visit the Masjid.
