The excellence of this Masjid has been described even in the Quran and authentic Ahadis. Devotees of Prophet (P.B.U.H) can reach from Masjid-un Nabawi to Masjid e Quba by walking with a medium pace within almost 40 minutes. It is stated in Sahih Bukhari that the Beloved Prophet (PBUH) used to travel to this Masjid every Saturday either by walking or by riding.

27- The mount Uhud
28- Mashahid-e-Mubarakah
The Holy Places where the Mujahideen of Islam were Martyred.
29- Shrines of Baqi’ graveyard
The sacred tombs and graves in Jannat-ul-Baqi’ and Jannat-ul-Mua’la have been destroyed. The graves of thousands of eminent companions, great Awliya, and devotees and those of even countless family members of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) have been obliterated. Therefore, if you enter the graveyard, there is a possibility that you might actually be walking on the grave of any companion or devotee of Prophet (P.B.U.H) whereas walking on the grave of even an ordinary Muslim is Haram in Shari’ah. It is stated in Rad-dul-Muhtar that if a certain path was built after demolishing the graves underneath it, it is Haram to walk on that path. (Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 1, pp. 612) In fact, if there is even a doubt about a path being new, then it is impermissible and sin to walk on it. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 3, pp. 183) Therefore, it is a request that you make Salam standing outside the boundary of Jannat-ul-Baqi’, not its main entrance. The proper method is to make Salam with your back towards the Qiblah and your face towards the faces of the buried ones.
