Many visitors to Masjid-e-Nabawi ﷺ share emotional experiences from their visit to Roza-e-Rasool ﷺ. Among these, a common claim is that some people can see the Qabr-e-Mubarak through the grills (jaaliyon). But what is the reality?
According to authentic explanations shared in the video “Kya Roza-e-Rasool ﷺ mein jaaliyon ke paar Qabr-e-Mubarak ko dekha ja sakta hai?”, such claims are misunderstandings.
When visitors stand in front of the visible grills, what lies behind them is not the graves themselves. In reality, there is a black curtain, and even if that curtain were lifted, one would only see a green ghilaf (cloth covering). The actual blessed graves are not visible from this area.
There is indeed a door with a plaque near this space, but it is never opened for the general public. Only highly authorized individuals are taken inside through Bab-e-Fatima, and even they do not enter the inner sacred chamber.
Some visitors who briefly glimpse the interior mistakenly assume they have seen graves because certain objects resemble the grave style common in the Subcontinent. However, scholars clarify that these are storage chests and bedding, not graves.
Historically, records suggest that the last known person to enter the Hujra-e-Aisha (R.A) was Allama Al-Samhudi centuries ago. Since then, no one has been allowed inside.
The essence of visiting Roza-e-Rasool ﷺ lies not in seeing the graves, but in sending salam with love, respect, and humility, a blessing beyond physical sight.
