Why is Mecca considered more sacred than Medina? (OP)
Hi guys, not sure if my type is welcome around these parts, but I thought I should ask:
Why is Mecca considered more sacred than Medina? I mean, from my limited knowledge of Islam, I understand that the Kaaba is located in Mecca, but I also understand that the Prophet spent a lot of his life in Medina, and even lived in Medina. So, is there any Quran verse that says it is more holier than Medina or Hadith?
Re: Why is Mecca considered more sacred than Medina?
I was in Makkah and Medina last summer. Visiting the place and witnessing hordes of believers made me change my perspective of life which had gotten corrupt within last 5-6 years when I visited the holy places last time. I still think that I could have gotten more out of my visit but I will next time God willing.
Seeing a believer rushing to the mosque naked feet for prayer on the uneven tarmac made me question the luxuries I take for granted .... these are tiny examples but they have huge impacts on you if you witness them and reflect upon them ....
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

Ha, I completely understand mate. If I were a Muslim, I have to say, Medina would perhaps be top of the agenda, above Mecca. I mean, it's where the prophet lived and worshipped for the last part of his life. And the mosque there looks beautiful. I love beautiful places. I hear the Medinan climate is wetter though. I also heard the other day that less than 10% of all Muslims will ever go on the Hajj.
