Doors of Masjid Nabawi on Eastern Side
This section describes the current prominent doors on the eastern wall of Masjid-e-Nabwi. The positions of these doors are not the same as during the Prophet’s (Peace and blessings be upon him) time, as they were moved eastward when the mosque was expanded.
• Bab-e-Baqi (Door of Baqi): Installed in 1408 AH, this door is opposite Bab-e-Salam on the western side and facilitates the flow of people leaving the mosque after giving salutation to the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions.
• Funeral Place: This area was where the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead Salat-ul-Janaza (funeral prayers). Today, it is used as a storage space for materials needed in Masjid-e-Nabwi.
• Bab-e-Jibraeel (Door of Jibraeel): Also known as Bab-un-Nabi, this door is where Jibraeel (Peace be upon him) met the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) after the battle of Ahzab. Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) narrated that she saw Jibraeel (Peace be upon him) through the cracks in her door.
• Bab-un-Nisa (Door of the Women): Constructed by Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) during 17 AH, this door allowed women to enter the mosque and offer their prayers in the last rows, avoiding contact with men.
