RODHA -E- PROPHET (S. A. W.) - The Shrine

1 .  Once the Prophet (S. A. W.) said, "If anybody comes to Madina to see my grave, it will be just like as he saw me in my life, however, he would not get the honour of my companion".

Rodha-e-Rasool

 2  .  The grave of Prophet (S. A. W.) is actually the house of Syeda Aisha (RA) which was just adjacent to Masjid-e-Nabvi, but now it is inside the mosque. If you come into the mosque through "Bab-e-Baqqi", you will get it in your left hand which is the facing side and well known golden fence (grill) is here. The biggest hole on the golden grill indicates the exact the facing positions of Beloved Prophet (S. A. W.).

Here faithfuls present their Salaam from morning till night (In the night mosque is closed whereas in Ramadan it remains open 24 hours). You will find yourself on the feet side of grave if you enter from "Bab-e-Jibrael", next to "Bab-e-Baqqi".

3 .  When Prophet (S. A. W.) passed away, syedna Abu Bakar (RA) said  "The Prophet is buried where he dies". since Prophet (S. A. W.) in the home of his beloved wife Syeda Aisha (RA) so he (S. A. W.) was buried here. The prayer of funeral was little different as the prayer offered over the dead body of a common muslim. There was no leader (IMAM) of this prayer, because Prophet (S. A. W.) was himself a leader of whole the universe. Group of Muslims in Madina offered funeral prayer individually.
