The Noble Rawdah

The Noble Rawdah is the area located between the Prophet Muhammad's (may Allah's salah and salam be upon him) house, the house of '‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and the Blessed Minbar. The Prophet (may Allah's salah and salam be upon him) said, "Between my house and my Minbar is a garden from the gardens of Paradise." Historians have relied on this Hadith when documenting the Prophet's Mosque.

Boundaries of the Blessed Garden:

East: The house of Lady ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).
West: The Blessed Pulpit.
South: The Qibla (the direction of prayer).
North: The line parallel to the end of '‘Aishah's house.

The Blessed Garden covers an area of approximately 330 square meters, with a length of 22 meters and a width of 15 meters.

Virtue of Praying in the Blessed Garden:

Praying in the Blessed Garden is considered one of the best acts of worship. Visitors to the Prophet's Mosque are keen to perform voluntary prayers there because it is deemed better than any other place in the mosque. However, for obligatory prayers, the best place to perform them is in the first row, even if it is outside the garden. Ibn Qasim said, "The best place to pray in his (may Allah's salah and salam be upon him) mosque for voluntary prayers is in the garden and for obligatory prayers, the first row."
