Masjid al-Qiblatain (المسجد القبلتین) (Mosque of the two Qiblas) is a mosque in Medina that is historically important for Muslims as the place where the prophet Muhammad is said to have been commanded to change the direction of prayer (qibla) from Jerusalem to Mecca. Thus it uniquely contains two prayer niches (mihrabs).
