Khawkhat Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq: Historic Landmark of the Prophet’s Mosque

The Prophet's Mosque in Madinah boasts many landmarks that date back to the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions, including the khawkhat of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq.
 A khawkhat is a small door, resembling a large window, positioned between two houses. Khawkhat Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq is located between his house and the Prophet's Mosque.
 According to the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, the Prophet’s Mosque once housed three khawkhats: khawkhat of Ali ibn Abi Talib, khawkhat of Khattabs, and khawkhat of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, with only the latter remaining open to this day. In his sermon before his death in 11 AH, Prophet Muhammad commanded that it be kept open.
 This enduring landmark remains a key feature of the Prophet's Mosque's rich heritage, reflecting its profound historical significance.
