Yes. It is in Medina, where he spent the last 10 years of his life.
This is a model of the burial chamber in the Masjid Nabawi Museum. His grave is on the right, which is the front of the chamber in relation to the Qiblah, and the one next to him is Abu Bakr’s, the first Caliph R.A.
The last one, on the left and furthest from the Qiblah, belongs to Umar Al-Khattab R.A. When he was buried there, A’isha R.A. moved out because Umar. R.A. was not Mahram to her.
The Sacred Chamber is split into two sections:
- Outer chamber – the outer chamber compromises of what was the house of Fatima R.A., and the area around the exterior wall of the Prophet’s ﷺ Those that have access to this area can touch the cloth that hangs on this wall, but can’t go beyond this. It is only accessible to certain individuals such as dignitaries, people who change the cloth and cleaners.
- Inner chamber – the inner chamber contains the grave of the Prophet’s ﷺ and his two companions. This sacred room, which was once the house of the Prophet’s ﷺ wife, A’isha R.A., is surrounded by three sets of walls: The first set of walls were built with the house shortly after Prophet’s ﷺ migration to Madinah. These walls were replaced in 91 AH / 711 CE by Umar Abdul Aziz I with stones similar to the black stones of the Kaaba. The second set of walls was also built by Umar Abdul Aziz and is pentagonal in shape. It was built in this shape so that the chamber wouldn’t resemble the Kaaba and to deter people from praying towards it. The third set of walls, from where the ghilaf (cloth) hangs, was built around the pentagonal wall in 886 AH / 1481 CE by Sultan al-Ashraf Qaitbay. This was done to fortify the pentagonal structure after it was damaged in a fire. It is this wall that visitors see when looking through the viewing holes in the Mawajaha.
The inner chamber has no doors or windows and is completely inaccessible to anyone.
The last person reported to have entered the inner chamber and set eyes on the blessed graves of the Prophet ﷺ and his companions was Ali ibn Ahmad al-Samhudi V, a renowned scholar who was tasked with cleaning up the site of the graves after a major fire broke out in Masjid Nabawi. This took place over 500 years ago in 886 AH / 1481 CE.
People visiting his grave are not allowed inside the chamber (which was originally the house A’isha R.A. lived in). The visitors pay their respects in front of the window with an embellished circular frame (on the left). They would be facing the opposite way to the direction of prayer when doing so to emphasise the non-divinity of the holy Prophet ﷺ. Each of the circular widows are opposite the heads of the three people in their graves, who would be facing you as you are on the South (Qiblah) side of the chamber.
The chamber is under the green dome. Originally, it was not part of the mosque, and officially it is still not considered part of it. However, in the last great expansion of the Mosque, it grew to encapsulate the houses of the Prophet’s wives.
This is the Grand Mosque of Madinah, Masjid An-Nabawi (The Prophet’s Mosque). The part sticking out at the front, where the green dome is, is the first modern expansion. The original mosque is the area called Al Rowdah inside that part of the modern mosque.
It was not gilded and decorated in the first century. This is where the Prophet ﷺ taught his closest companions, the migrants from Makkah, while they were still homeless
