Description

The Ghars Well (also known as Bir Ghars) is a very important well in Islamic history which is connected to the Seerah, The Life of The Prophet Muhammed, Peace and Blessings of God Be Upon Him (PBUH).  It is located in the Blessed City of Madinah, close to Masjid Quba and The Garden of Salman Al Farsi (RA). The Ghars Well was one of the well perferred by The Prophet (PBUH) due to its freshness and was said to have drank water and performed ablution from the well. 

It is reported is reported by the Blessed Companion of The Prophet (PBUH), Ali ibn Abu Talib (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “When I die, wash me with seven water-skins from al-Ghars Well. He also used to drink from this well.” [Ibn Majah].

The well has been recently restored by the Ministry of Culture and includes drinking water taps for pilgrims as well as a prayer area besides the well. It is located next to Dar Al Hijrah School off Ali Ibn Abi Talib Road.  You may also be interested in visiting the nearby Ethiq Well and Garden.

It's Islamic History where once the Prophet Muhammad SAW 1445 years ago made ablution(Islamic cleaning of the body before praying) using this well when he first arrived to the suburbs of Medina near Quba.

Visiting Ghars Well in Madina during Ramadan at 3 am proved to be an exceptional choice, offering a serene and spiritually charged experience. Arriving at this early hour, I found the surroundings remarkably peaceful, with only a few fellow pilgrims present. The absence of crowds allowed for a more intimate connection with the sacred site, enhancing the sense of reverence and reflection. As the clock struck 3:30 am, water was distributed, symbolizing the start of the pre-dawn meal before the fast. The act of partaking in this ritual at such an auspicious time felt deeply profound, heightening the spiritual significance of the visit. With the gentle glow of the moon overhead and the tranquil ambiance enveloping the well, I felt a profound sense of closeness to the divine. Offering prayers in this hallowed space during the early hours of the morning was a deeply moving experience, evoking a sense of peace and tranquility that transcended the physical realm. The stillness of the night seemed to amplify the spiritual energy of the site, creating an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and connection. Overall, visiting Ghars Well in Madina at 3 am during Ramadan provided me with a unique opportunity to experience the sacredness of the site in a way that few get to witness. It was a moment of profound spiritual significance that will remain etched in my memory forever.

Its a 5 mins ziyarat. Water has been stopped for maintenance. Ice cream trucks outside sell tasty ice cream for 3SR only. Also vendors outside have reasonably priced things for gifts.
