Visiting Madinah and the Prophet’s Mosque

Visiting Madinah is not part of Hajj or Umrah, but praying in the Prophet's Mosque carries great reward.

  1. Step 1 of 6

    Enter the Prophet's Mosque

    Enter with your right foot, say the dua for entering the mosque, and pray two rak'ah.

  2. Step 2 of 6

    The Rawdah

    Book a time in the Nusuk app first. Men and women have separate times. Pray calmly and leave space for others.

  3. Step 3 of 6

    Greeting the Prophet ﷺ

    Stand with respect and a low voice and say: "As-salamu 'alayka ya Rasulallah." Then step a little to the right and greet Abu Bakr, then Umar, may Allah be pleased with them. Face the Qibla when you make dua.

  4. Step 4 of 6

    Jannat al-Baqi

    Visit the cemetery beside the mosque and say the greeting for the people of the graves.

    Uhud and its martyrs
