Labaik Allah Hummah Labaik, Labbaik La Shareeka Laka Labaik, Innal Hamda Wal Ni’amata Laka Wal Mulk, La Shareeka Lak!!!
I Pray that you are all well and in the best state of Imaan, Ameen!
For those travellers who will be roaming the streets of Madina Shareef Inshallah!
When your eyes catch of its walls, remember that it is the town that was chosen by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and He Subhanahu wa Ta'ala chose this city for His Subhanahu wa Ta'ala Rasool Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and made the destination of His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam Flight (hijra); that it was His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam dwelling place, in which He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam promulgated the Laws of His Lord Subhanahu wa Ta'alaand the Sunnah, fought His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam enemy and proclaimed His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam religion, until the time when Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala caused Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam to return to Himself Subhanahu wa Ta'ala; then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala established in it a burial ground for Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam; and for His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam two ministers Radi Allahu anhumma who maintained the truth after Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.
Next, imagine to yourself the places where the feet of the Apostle of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Hazoor e Paak Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam have trodden, as He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam went about the city, and consider to yourself that wherever your feet have trodden there too have His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam Dear feet trodden; therefore take each step with tranquility and with awe. And remember His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam walking and traversing upon the city’s roads; picture to yourself His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam humility and tranquility while walking, despite what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has entrusted to His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam heart, such as His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam great knowledge about Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, the exaltation of His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam name alongside the name of the Most High to the extent that Alllah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has joined Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam to the remembrance of Himself Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and the rendering vain of the deeds of those who villify Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam even by way of raising their voice higher than His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. And remember the Grace that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala bestowed on those who enjoyed His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam companionship and were fortunate to have been with Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and to have listened to His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam speech. Be exceeding by sorrowful over having been denied the opportunity to be His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam companion or the companion of His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam companions.
He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said "God will bring before me on the Day of Resurrection some people who will call on Me saying, ‘0 Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam! '0 Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam! Then I say, My Lord Subhanahu wa Ta'ala! They are my companions! And Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will say, 'You do not know what they have introduced after you had died. Then I say, 'Go away." Therefore, if you neglect the sanctity of His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam law, even of a minute thing, you have no guarantee that you will not be barred from Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam because of you straying from His right way. Nevertheless, have great hope that you will not be barred from Him, for you have been blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala with faith and have been brought hither from your home country in order to visit Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, being motivated, not by any concern with commerce or wordly gain, but only by your love of Him Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and your longing to see His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam traces and the wall of His Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam tomb. Since, having not been privileged to see the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam in this world, you have been prompted to travel by these considerations alone, you are most worthy to be looked upon by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala with His Subhanahu wa Ta'ala Gracious Mercy!
When you reach the Masjid Nabvi Shareef remember that it is the place that has been chosen by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and for the first band of Muslims and the best of all, that the laws of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala were the first thing to be established in that place and that this Grand Mosque contained the best of all the creatures of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, living or dead. Increase your hope in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, that He Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will forgive you for entering it. Enter with solemnity and reverence. How deserving it is of solemnity and reverence it is from the hear of every believer, as Abu Sulayman Radi Allahu anhu is reported to have said: "’Uways al-Qarni Radi Allahu anhu has performed Pilgrimage and entered Madina Shareef. When He Radi Allahu anhu stopped by the gate of the Grand Mosque, it was said to Him Radi Allahu anhu,'This is the grave of Rasoolallah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam Thereupon, He Radi Allahu anhu fainted. When He Radi Allahu anhu awoke, He Radi Allahu anhu said, "Let me go out, it is not proper for me to be in a town where Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam buried."

Bad Naseebi Vi Ay, Ghar Ghareebi Vi Ay
