Medina: The eight historic pillars of Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah in the Prophet's Mosque stand as enduring spiritual landmarks that document pivotal moments from the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
According to Saudi Press Agency, originally made of palm trunks and later replaced with stone, these columns retain significant names such as the Perfumed Pillar, the Pillar of Aisha, and the Pillar of Repentance, each marking locations where the Prophet prayed, received delegations, or retreated for worship.
These pillars remain a vital part of the mosque's architectural and spiritual heritage, offering visitors a tangible connection to the early days of Islamic history.
