# Prophet's Tomb + Mosque

<mark style="color:red;">**TLDR: Sunnis have added the prophet's tomb to his mosque, making his tomb a place of worship, and also have inundated the walls of his mosque with his glorification. They have made the prophet's mosque the second Holy Shrine, even though this is not recognized in the Quran. They also have made visiting the prophet's mosque in Medina as a part of Hajj.**</mark>
