“Appearance of Medina Al Munawwarah Hajj Dormitory Building in Medan Burned to Ashes”

Medan is the capital city of North Sumatra, Indonesia, and a vibrant cultural and economic hub. Founded in the 16th century, it grew into a major trading center during the Dutch colonial era, influenced by Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European cultures. Key landmarks include the Grand Al-Mashun Mosque, Maimun Palace, and Tjong A Fie Mansion, reflecting its rich multicultural heritage.

Madinah Al Munawwarah (Medina the Enlightened) is the second holiest city in Islam, home to the Prophet’s Mosque (Al-Masjid an-Nabawi), which was built by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in 622 CE after his migration (Hijrah) from Mecca. The city served as the center of early Islamic governance and remains a major pilgrimage site. Its iconic Green Dome marks the burial place of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), along with his companions Abu Bakr and Umar.

The Medan City Hajj Dormitory is a facility in Medan, Indonesia, that serves as a transit and preparation center for Muslim pilgrims (hajj) before their journey to Mecca. Established to streamline the pilgrimage process, it provides accommodations, administrative services, and religious guidance. The dormitory reflects Indonesia’s significant Muslim population and the government’s efforts to support hajj pilgrims from the region.

The Medan City Fire Department is a vital emergency service in Medan, Indonesia, responsible for firefighting, disaster response, and public safety. Established during the Dutch colonial era, it has evolved with modern equipment and training to address urban fire risks in one of Sumatra’s largest cities. The department also engages in community fire prevention programs to enhance safety awareness.
