Abstract

This research provides glimpse into the scientific activity in the Prophet's Mosque through the book "Al-Tuhfat Al-Latifah fi Tarikh Al-Madinah Al-Sharifah" by Shams Al-Din Al-Sakhawi (d. 902 Hijri/1497 AD). It highlights the scientific movement in the Prophet's Mosque، which has been and continues to be one of the most important centers of scientific activity not only in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah (the Enlightened City) but also in the entire Islamic world. Since its establishment during the time of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) and in subsequent eras، this mosque has witnessed extensive scientific activity and remains an open university for the dissemination of Islamic sciences. The research begins with an introduction to the author of the book، highlighting his background، education، influential scholars، some of his works، and the sciences in which he excelled and taught. This is followed by a brief introduction to the book "Al-Tuhfat Al-Latifah،" which is one of the most important and rich historical compilations. It includes biographies of the residents of Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah، even those who resided there for a short period، from the first century of the Islamic calendar until the author's time. These biographies contain valuable and comprehensive material that reflects many aspects of life in and around Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. The research highlights the most important aspects of scientific activity in the Prophet's Mosque through the biographies mentioned in the book "Al-Tuhfat Al-Latifah." It discusses the scientific circles within the mosque، their topics، types، teaching methods، and emphasizes the significance of scholarly certifications. Furthermore، it focuses on providing examples of prominent scholars in the Prophet's Mosque. The research also highlights a number of scholars who stood out during that period and were known for their encyclopedic knowledge. Each of them excelled in multiple scientific fields and had a significant impact on the flourishing of the scientific movement within the Prophet's Mosque.
