Rawdah al-Nabawiyya — Grave of the Prophet (SAW)
الرَّوضَةُ النَّبَوِيَّة — قَبْرُ النَّبِيّ ﷺ
The blessed grave of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) lies within the green-domed section of Masjid al-Nabawi in Madina. The Prophet was buried in the room of Syedatona Aisha (RA), which is now enclosed within the mosque. Beside him lie his two closest companions. The area of the Rawdah — extending from his grave to his mimbar — the Prophet (SAW) described as 'a garden from the gardens of Paradise.'
Why it Matters
Visiting the Prophet's grave is among the most spiritually elevated acts in Islam. The Prophet said: 'Whoever visits me after my death, it is as if he visited me during my lifetime.' For the Bohra community, ziyarat of the Prophet (SAW) is the spiritual pinnacle of Hajj.
