What Does Medina Mean?

The word Medina is of Arabic origin and when ever you are using the word you are conveying the idea of the city of the prophet.
      
Sometimes the word is being used as a name for a girl child but the most popular meaning that the word conveys is that of a city based in Saudi Arabia. The city is considered as one of the holiest sites for the believers of the Islamic religion and is considered as second only to Mecca, also in Saudi Arabia.
      
Muslims the world over find the place one of the holiest because it has the prophet's mosque. They believe that if you pray once in this mosque it is equal to hundred times of pray in any other mosque in the world.
