Historians claim that Mihrab’s history starts with Sultan Qaytbai’s reign in 888 AH. Later, in 1404 AH, when Mihrab began to lose its original shape and beauty, King Fahad bin Abdul Aziz renovated the arches.
Mihrab Nabawi (محراب نبوي)
The Mihrab Nabawi (محراب نبوي) in Masjid al Nabawi is located where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to lead Salah. Today, the Imam of Masjid al Nabawi leads the Salah from the same place.
The Mihrab of Tahajjud (محراب تہجّد)
The Mihrab of Tahajjud (محراب تہجّد) in Masjid al Nabawi is located on the northern side of the doom. It represents the place where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to say Tahajjud prayer.
Moreover, historians claim that this Mihrab-e Tahajjud also existed during Ibn-e-Najjar in 643 AH. Later, it was removed.
The Ottoman leaders renovated it after selecting a piece of red stone to work on it. They also engraved the verse Tahajjud on the mihrab with gold.
The Mihrab of Fatima (محراب فاطمة)
The Mihrab Fatima (محراب فاطمة) is located inside the chamber of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is similar to the Mihrab of the Prophet and was built during the Mamluk era.
Mihrab-e Uthmani (محراب عثماني)
The Ottoman Mihrab or Mihrab Uthamni (محراب عثماني) in Masjid al Nabawi is built on the walls toward the mosque’s qibla. Waleed bin Abdul Malik built this arch in 91 AH at Uthman bin Affan’s prayer area.
Later, in 888 A.H., it was renovated and given a new shape that still exists. Sultan Qaytbai gave this mihrab its present shape.
Mihrab Sulemani (محراب سليماني)
Mihrab Sulemani (محراب سليماني) was built in the second half of the ninth century. It is located on the third pillar west of the pulpit in Masjid-e Nabwi.
It was named Mihrab Suleimani when Sultan Suleiman Khan (Al Qanuni) rebuilt and renewed this Mihrab in 948 A.H. He also arranged white and black floral stones on it. It is still present in the same condition.
