Bab al-Rahmah (Gate no. 3)

Bab al-Rahmah (Gate of Mercy) is one of the three oldest gates of Masjid an-Nabawi, originally built by Prophet Muhammad (saw) in the western wall. It was located near the house of ‘Atika bint ‘Abdullah (RA) and was sometimes called Bab Atika. Similar in size to Bab as-Salam but less ornate, the gate was shifted westward during the mosque’s expansions while maintaining its original alignment.

 

 

 

 

Good to know

Some places cannot be verified for certain, and sometimes more than one location claims the same place. We show the most commonly believed site. And Allah knows best.
