Medina

Places

The old walled urban core in Maghrebi and related city speech. Not city as a bare scale-word, and not kasbah as the citadel quarter alone.

Also known as Old medina

Islam

  • Medina appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an names Yathrib and the City among the community’s settled place (including 33:13). Islamic Medina/Yathrib attestation in that revelation, not Mecca as the Sacred House city and not a Bible-place flatten.

    from M.A.S. Abdel Haleem (translation) · The Qur’an, 2004 (this translation); Arabic text 7th century CE
