The Prophet's Mosque is surrounded by courtyards on all sides. Visitors first arrive at these outer areas before they enter the mosque proper.
The outer courtyards of the Prophet’s Mosque are perfectly designed as places for prayer and sitting. They are covered with canopies that open and close automatically, and are equipped with public facilities that are friendly to all visitors, including the elderly and people with special needs.
The Prophet's Mosque witnessed one of the largest expansions during the reign of King Fahd, in which the total area of the courtyards increased to 235,000 square meters. The courtyards are covered with marble and granite, and are designed as prayer grounds. They can accommodate up to 450,000 worshippers.
It is the second holiest mosque in Islam, and the greatest mosque in Islam after the Grand Mosque of Makkah. Cognizant of the virtue of prayer in this mosque, Muslims from all over the world visit it. It is associated with the life of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the lives of his companions, both emigrants and helpers (ansar).
The Blessed Rawdah: it is paradise on earth, where an exhausted person finds serenity and peace. Here you can hear the moans and sense the sincere hopes of people at prayer.
