Many pilgrims reach Madinah with one major concern: “Will I get Rawdah?” Some succeed easily. Many don’t—even after trying repeatedly.
The difference is not luck. It’s planning, timing logic, and correct Nusuk usage. This guide explains how Rawdah permits really work in 2026 and how to improve your chances.
What Is Rawdah (Riyaz-ul-Jannah)?
Rawdah is the sacred area between the Prophet’s ﷺ house and his minbar inside Masjid-e-Nabawi. Due to limited space and high demand, access is strictly regulated through the Nusuk app.
Can Rawdah Be Booked Before Arriving in Madinah?
Yes. You do not need to be physically present in Madinah to book Rawdah. Permits can appear on Nusuk days in advance.
How Rawdah Slots Are Actually Released
Rawdah slots are limited and released in cycles. They are not permanently “sold out.”
About Rawdah Timings (Read This Carefully)
Rawdah does not operate on fixed public timings. Slot availability changes daily based on crowd management.
