The darih (mausoleum) of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), known as Al Maksurah, the Sacred Chamber. Behind this metal grille lie the tombs of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and of his companions, the first two 'rightly guided' Caliphs, Abu Bakr Al Siddiq and Umar ibn al Khattab ( also known as Umar AI Faruq - he who distinguishes right from wrong ).
