Jannat ul Baqi is a graveyard or cemetery located in Madina Munawwara, Saudi Arabia, where the Holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)  used to live,  built the Masjid e Nibvi , and where his roza mubarik exists. The cemetery therefore holds much importance. It contains many of Holy Prophet's  relatives and companions' graves. In Many Ahadith there is a mention of Holy Prophet's  issuing a prayer every time he passed it.

The cemetery is  known as Jannatu l-Baqi'  meaning "The Garden of Heaven" and Baqi'u l-Qarqad, which means "Orchard of the Boxthorn Trees".

In the span of Prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam's  life, this graveyard was considered to be outside the city of Madina but after the vast expansion ,now it has come quite close to Masjid-e-Nabvi. If you take your way  out from Masjid-e-Nabvi, through the Baqqi Gate, or Hazrat Jibrael (AH) Gate you will notice few yards away a boundary wall at a small height. This is the wall of JANNAT -UL -BAQQI'S graveyard. Stairs have been made to reach at the height.Men can come close and visit the grave yard while going inside but women are not allowed  to go even  near the wall of the graveyard. women must present their Salaam from outside the Baqqi graveyard. Jannat ul Baqqi has been kept clean and is free from any bushes. All the graves have been  made of soil or earth. No solid brick or concrete  constructions exist over the graves. as this is also prohibited in Islam to make graves solid. Paved ways are there to walk through the graveyard but you can't find any signs over the  graves, only the guides there can tell you about them. Squared shape boundary of half feet height has been constructed around all prominent graves.
It is always the desire of every Muslim to visit or live in Madina and to be buried in Jannat ul Baqi.
