“The Green Dome above the prophet’s tomb at Al-Masjid al-NabawiThe prophet Muhammad is buried in the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Mosque of the Prophet) in the city of Medina. The large mosque at the center of the city is one of the three holiest sites for Muslims, the other two being the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and the Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca.

Muhammad’s grave lies within the confines of what used to be the house of Ayesha, his wife. During his lifetime it was adjoining the mosque - however in modern times, it has become a part of the mosque itself. The importance of the mosque predates the death of the prophet, and thus the grave itself is not the reason for the particularly high sanctity of the mosque. However, the grave of the prophet has become the focal point of the mosque and millions of visitors come to it every year.

Muhammad is buried next to the first two caliphs, Abu Bakr and Umar. Umar was gifted a spot next to Muhammad by his wife Ayesha, which had originally been intended for her. There is an empty grave within the tomb area meant for Jesus upon his return as the Messiah.

Muhammad’s grave itself cannot be seen as the area is cordoned off by a gold mesh and black curtains. As per Muslim tradition, the grave itself is not embellished or decorated and is two cubits high. The grave is marked by an austere green wooden dome above it, built by the Ottoman Turks. This dome has become universally emblematic of both the Prophet himself, as well as his beloved city of Medina.”

Sounds to me like his oh-so-mortal rotting corpse is still in there.
