The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “The area between my house and my pulpit is a Garden from the Gardens of Paradise.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

This hadith is referring to the Rawda (which literally means ‘garden’), a piece of Paradise in this world located in the Prophet’s Mosque in Madina. The opportunity to pray in the Rawda al-Sharifa is yearned for by pilgrims from around the world, visiting the sanctified place where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself prayed abundantly.

Al-Maqasid is immensely fortunate to have acquired limited parcels of the blessed rugs from the Rawda al-Sharifa, which rugs were honored to have physical closeness to the resting place of our Prophet ﷺ and have been blessed with the prayers and prostrations of countless members of the Prophet’s nation. 

We have sections of the blessed Rawda rugs that have been specially cut and stitched into the form of individual-size prayer rugs.  Al-Maqasid has acquired two different styles rugs from Masjid Al-Nabawi. One predominantly cream colored that was inside the Rawda al-Sharifa (used during the King Fahd era), and a red rug that was elsewhere inside the Prophet’s ﷺ Mosque. 

Below are numbered pictures of the blessed Rawda rugs.

During this blessed month of the Prophet’s ﷺ birth, we would like to extend to you the opportunity to have one of these precious rugs in your home. While these prayer rugs are truly priceless, we are excited to share them with you as gifts in exchange for donations made to Al-Maqasid in the amounts set forth below, to support the ongoing work of Al-Maqasid.

If you are interested in one of these blessed rugs, please email Zaid Mohiuddin (zaid@almaqasid.org). Quantities are limited and prayer rugs will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.
