1 .  There is no need to explain the spritual popularity of the green dome which is over the shrine of Prophet (S. A. W.). Every Muslim loves this dome and it is fact that this dome has become the symbol of Madina-al-Munawwara. In Arabic, it is called Gumbad-e-Khizra (Green Dome).

Lastly in 1233 Hijra, the King Mehmood  Bin Abdul Hamed Usmani built a new dark green dome over the shrine which was very beautiful and long lasting. This is the dome which we look today over the shrine.
