You can also see the resting places or sites of Hazrat Hamza, among seventy Sahabas, who attained martyrdom (shahadat) in the battle of Uhad. As per local residents, the whole number of Sahabas buried in janna-tul-baqi is more than 10,000.

Masjid-e-Nabwi

It was built by Prophet (PBUH) himself, with the help of other Sahabas, therefore is also well-known as the Prophet’s mosque. After Masjid-al-Haram in Makkah, Masjid­-e-Nabwi is the second holiest site in Islam.

Prophet  (PBUH) grave

The resting place of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) is right there in the Masjid-e-Nabwi or Mosque of the Prophet (PBUH) in Madina. The grave lies within the boundary of the house where Hazrat Aisha (RA) and the Prophet (PBUH) lived.

Home of Sahabees

Bir-e-Usman

Bir is an Arabic term meaning ‘well’, from where water is taken out.

Hazrat Usman (RA) took the initiative and purchased the half of it from Yahudees, later on the Yahudees also sold the other half part to him. This ‘well’ is therefore named on Hazrat Usman (RA), and is an significant destination for Ziyarat in madina.
