What is Rawdah, also called Riaz ul Jannah?
Rawdah, also called Riaz ul Jannah, is a special and blessed area inside the Prophet Muhammad’s mosque in Madinah. It is located between the Prophet’s grave (which was originally his house) and the pulpit where he used to give sermons. The Prophet said this place is a garden from the gardens of Paradise, which is why Muslims consider it very important and try to pray and make supplications there when visiting the mosque.
