A 3D Visual Map of Sacred Landmarks Along the Hijrah Route
This stunning 3D-rendered map beautifully illustrates the historic route between Makkah and Madinah, highlighting key Islamic landmarks along the sacred journey of Hijrah (migration). The terrain is presented in a realistic desert landscape, with mountains, valleys, and coastal elements designed to give depth and historical atmosphere.
The visual layout guides the viewer from Makkah in the south to Madinah in the north, marking significant locations with directional arrows and labeled names.
1️⃣ Makkah – The Starting Point
The journey begins in Makkah, the birthplace of Islam and home to the Holy Kaaba. It is from here that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ began the migration to Madinah in 622 CE due to increasing persecution.
Makkah is shown with the Kaaba at its center, surrounded by desert hills and early settlements.
2️⃣ Jabal al-Nour (Cave Hira)
Located near Makkah, Jabal al-Nour is the mountain that houses Cave Hira, where the first revelation of the Qur’an was received.
This mountain symbolizes the beginning of Prophethood and divine guidance.
3️⃣ Jabal Thawr
Jabal Thawr holds immense historical importance. During the Hijrah, the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr (RA) took refuge in the Cave of Thawr for three days to avoid the Quraysh search party.
It represents patience, trust in Allah, and divine protection.
4️⃣ Badr
Further along the route is Badr, the site of the first major battle in Islamic history (Battle of Badr). This location represents a turning point where a small Muslim army achieved victory against a larger force.
It symbolizes faith, strategy, and divine support.
5️⃣ Wadi al-Safra
Wadi al-Safra is a valley region that lies along the historical travel path. It was one of the routes caravans would pass through during journeys between the two cities.
The valley terrain is depicted with natural desert flow and palm clusters.
6️⃣ Masjid Quba
As the Prophet ﷺ approached Madinah, he first arrived in Quba, where he established Masjid Quba, the first mosque built in Islam.
This mosque symbolizes the beginning of the Islamic state in Madinah and community unity.
7️⃣ Madinah – The Final Destination
The journey concludes in Madinah, home to Masjid an-Nabawi and the Green Dome. It became the center of the growing Muslim community and the foundation of Islamic governance.
Madinah represents peace, brotherhood (Muhajirun and Ansar), and the establishment of a just society.
