What was the original name of the city of Madinah before the Prophet’s migration?

Explanation

– The city of Madinah was originally known as Yathrib prior to the Prophet’s migration, after which it was renamed Madinat-un-Nabi, meaning ‘City of the Prophet,’ reflecting its transformation into the center of the early Muslim community.
– This renaming marked a significant symbolic shift in the city’s identity.
– For exams, remember that the first mosque built by the Prophet (PBUH) upon reaching the outskirts of Madinah was the Quba Mosque.
