Medina: City of Prophet

Medina is the second holiest city of Islam. Medina was the city that Muhammad went to when he was first driven out of Mecca, and the place where he attracted his first followers. Medina currently has a population of about 600,000 people and is the home of "The Prophet's Mosque." Medina was described a city, that was divided.
