The Madinah region is rich in Islamic inscriptions carved on rock faces and is among the Kingdom’s richest regions in Islamic writing. Islamic sites also contain tombstone inscriptions providing important information about people who lived in the region. Their texts reveal occupations, titles, professions, crafts and the places and tribes to which they belonged. Such stones have been found in Al Rabadhah, Al Farsh and within Madinah. Dozens of Islamic inscriptions have been found across the region, notably Al Hinakiyyah, Wadi Al Suwaydirah, Bi’r Al Saybiyyah, Al Uwaynah, Wadi Al Khanq, Al Rabadhah, Al Mahd, Al Suwayriqiyyah, Al Haradiyyah in Khaybar, Rawawah south of Madinah, Al Furaysh, Al Wuqayhah, Al Khadra (30 kilometres south of Al Akhal), and the rock faces of Wadi Al Ula and Wadi Al Mu’tadil. At scattered sites, travellers and residents left rock-carved texts containing names, notable persons, traditional supplications and Quranic passages, some bearing dates.
Al Suwaydirah lies 60 km northeast of Madinah on the Qassim road. It represents the remains of a deeply ancient history, with antiquities dating to seven thousand years before Christ.

As soon as you walk through the valley, you feel a sense of awe before the meticulously arranged drawings on the rocks.

Besides its sanctity, the Prophet’s Mosque is a centre for scholars and students, with circles of remembrance studying the Holy Quran and its sciences, exegesis and hadith.
