How to Best Experience Riadh ul Jannah – A Spiritual Journey to Paradise
Riadh ul Jannah, nestled within the heart of Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah, is a place that carries unimaginable spiritual weight. Often referred to as “a piece of Paradise on Earth”, this sacred area holds deep significance for every Muslim. But how can you truly make the most of your visit? Here’s a guide on how to best experience Riadh ul Jannah — both spiritually and practically.
🌿 What is Riadh ul Jannah?
Riadh ul Jannah (translated as “The Garden of Paradise”) lies between the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ pulpit (minbar) and his blessed resting place (rawdah). The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
This makes it one of the most cherished places in Islam and a must-visit for every pilgrim in Madinah.
🕋 How to Prepare for Your Visit
- Make a Sincere Intention (Niyyah):
Approach your visit with humility and devotion. This is not just sightseeing — it’s a deeply spiritual moment. - Book Your Time Slot:
Due to high demand, you now need to book a time slot through the Nusuk app. Try to reserve as early as possible. - Dress Modestly & Comfortably:
Ensure you’re in proper Islamic attire — this is a sacred space and should be treated with full respect.
💡 Tips for the Best Experience
- Arrive Early: Being early increases your chances of getting time near the Rawdah and avoiding the rush.
- Stay Calm & Patient: The crowd can be intense, but remember, you’re in one of the holiest places on Earth.
- Pray with Focus: If you’re blessed to be inside, offer two rakats of nafl, make du’a sincerely, and reflect on the moment.
- Visit Multiple Times: If you’re staying in Madinah for several days, try visiting at different times — especially early mornings for fewer crowds.
