5. Make at least one khatam of the Quraan Majeed in Makkah Mukarramah. Insha Allah, you will receive the reward of 100 000 khatams.
6. Remember all those who did some ihsaan (good) to you and make dua for them.
1. When in Makkah Mukarramah, then at all times, keep in mind the sanctity of the place. Remember that all the Ambiyaa (‘alaihimus salaam), Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), Taabi’een and Auliyaa (rahimahumullah) frequented this mubaarak place.
2. Do not cause inconvenience to people in the Haram, and ensure that you protect your heart and eyes from haraam and sin. Whatever spirituality you attain could be lost through committing sins and casting sinful gazes.
16. Visit Musjid-e-Quba on a Saturday as this is mustahab. It is mustahab to walk and also to go by conveyance. [1]
17. Take sadaqah monies to distribute among the poor in Madinah Munawwarah.
In the year 2 AH, during the last ten days of Sha’baan, fasting during the month of Ramadhaan was made obligatory. In this regard, the following verse was revealed:
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيْ أُنْزِلَ فِيْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرۡقَانِ ۚ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ
The month of Ramadhan is a month in which the Qur’aan was revealed, as guidance for mankind and as clear signs of guidance and as a criterion (i.e. that shows the right way and distinguishes between right and wrong). So those of you who witness the month must fast in it. (Surah Baqarah v. 185)
It is reported from Ummul Mumineen Hazrat Aaishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) and Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) that when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) came to Madinah Munawwarah, he instructed the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) to fast on the Day of Aashuraa (10th of Muharram).
When the fast of Ramadhaan was made fardh, then Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “As far as the fast of Aashuraa is concerned, then one has a choice. If he wishes, he may keep the fast, or if he wishes, he may not keep the fast.”
Hazrat Salamah bin Akwa’ (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports, “On the day of Aashuraa, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) instructed a man to publicly announce, ‘The one who has not eaten anything from the morning as yet should fast for this entire day, and the one who has eaten something from the morning should refrain from eating anything for the entire day and resemble those who are fasting.’”
Sadaqatul Fitr and Eid Salaah
Just two days before the termination of the month of Ramadhaan, the obligations of Sadaqatul Fitr and Eid Salaah were revealed. In this regard, the following verse was revealed:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكّٰى ﴿١٤﴾ وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلّٰى
Successful is he who has spiritually cleansed himself and he has mentioned the name of his Lord then performed the salaah (of Eid). (Surah A’laa v. 14-15)
Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (rahimahullah) explained the verse to mean, “Successful is the one who has discharged his Sadaqatul Fitr and performed the Eid Salaah.”
(Extracted from Seeratul Mustafa 1/471-472)
11. Do not engage in any worldly conversations in Musjid Nabawi. [1]
12. Perform two rakaats of Shukr Salaah often, and thank Allah Ta‘ala for blessing you to come to this blessed place. [2]
6. After entering Musjid Nabawi, perform two rakaats Tahiyyatul Musjid, make istighfaar and dua, and thereafter proceed to confer salaam upon our Master, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). [1] It is better to read a short salaam that you understand rather than reading a salaam that you do not understand from a book or card etc.
1. After performing hajj or umrah, ensure that you proceed to Madinah Munawwarah and visit the Raudhah Mubaarak (blessed grave). Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned in the Hadith, “The one who performs hajj and does not come to visit me has indeed shown ill-conduct and disrespect towards me.” [1]
Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) Replying to the Salaam
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whenever anyone makes salaam to me (at my grave), Allah Ta‘ala returns my soul to my body so that I reply to his greetings.” [1]
In Sharh-e-Manaasik, Haafiz Ibnu Hajar (rahimahullah) writes that the meaning of the return of the soul is that Allah Ta‘ala grants Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) the ability to speak. Hazrat Qaadhi Iyaaz (rahimahullah) writes that the soul of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) remains absorbed in the presence of Allah Ta‘ala, and on being greeted with salaam, inclines towards the greeting. [2]
Virtues of Visiting the Raudhah Mubaarak of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) - Part One
Written by user2Gaining the Intercession of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
Hazrat Ibnu Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever visits my grave, my intercession becomes necessary for him (i.e. I will definitely intercede with Allah Ta‘ala on the Day of Qiyaamah to forgive that person).” [1]
Presenting onself in the court of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), in the beautiful city of Madinah Munawwarah is indeed amongst the greatest blessings and bounties that any believer can be blessed with.
The one blessed with this great opportunity should recognize and value this great bounty of Allah Ta‘ala upon him.
