What should I recite in the Rawdah?

I will only have a few minutes inside the Rawdah. What should I do and recite in that time?

Written and checked by our team, with dated sources.

In short

There is no fixed wording. Many pilgrims pray two voluntary rak'ahs if there is space and then make du'a in their own words, for themselves, their parents and everyone who asked for their prayers. With about 10 to 15 minutes inside, prepare a short list beforehand. For questions of ruling, ask a scholar you trust.

Before you go in

  • Make wudu, and write a short list of the du'as you want to make and the people you promised to pray for.
  • Keep your phone away so the time goes to worship.

Inside

  • Follow the staff, who guide each group in and out.
  • Pray two voluntary rak'ahs where there is space, then make du'a.
  • Be gentle with others and make room for the elderly.

Next step: read what the Rawdah is and how to behave inside.
