Where Was Muhammad Buried

The Tomb of Prophet Muhammad, known in Arabic as the al-Rawdah as-Sharifah (الروضة الشريفة), literally meaning the “the honoured garden”, is a small enclosure, inside the Prophet’s Mosque, where prophet Muhammad and two of his companions (Abu Bakr and Umar) are buried. The tomb of prophet Muḥammad is also known in Arabic as al-ḥujra al-nabawiyya (“the chamber of the prophet”), al-ḥujra al-sharīfa (“the noble chamber”), al-qabr al-sharīf (“the noble grave”), or al-rawḍah (“the garden”).
