المسجد النبوي
The Prophet's Mosque is the second holiest site in Islam and the spiritual heart of Madinah. It houses the Rawdah ash-Sharifah, a garden of Paradise between the Prophet's pulpit and his noble chamber, as well as the iconic Green Dome marking his blessed resting place. The mosque has been expanded many times throughout history and can accommodate over one million worshippers.
بيوت الصحابة
The area along the present Qiblah wall near Bab as-Salam marks where homes of several companions were located. Four are specifically identified: House of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, House of Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, House of Ammar bin Yasir, and House of Nawfal bin Haris.
حجرات أمهات المؤمنين
Originally 9 chambers for the Prophet's wives. The chamber of Aisha became the Sacred Chamber. Other chambers were on the eastern and northern sides but have been incorporated into mosque expansions over the centuries.
