Always remain with ablution (wudhu) in Makkah and Madinah. There are countless blessings of ablution. Ablution is one of the deeds of Paradise and one of the paths to Paradise. There are many benefits and benedictions of ablution. Some are being mentioned here to strengthen our faith.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah radiallaho ta'ala anhu narrates that Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam said, "Should I not tell you about those deeds through which Allah Ta'ala will forgive your sins and elevate your status?" The companions replied, "Of course. We are in great need of deeds like that." Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam said, "Performing complete ablution even during difficulties, always walking towards the Mosque, and completing one Namaz and waiting for the next Namaz. These things are also Jihad (struggle)." (Mishkaat, page 38)

Hazrat Uthmaan radiallaho ta'ala anhu narrates that Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam said, "The person that performs a thorough ablution, all the sins leave his body, up to the point that the sins under his nails are removed." (Mishkaat, p38)

Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir radaillaho ta'ala anhu narrates that Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam said, "The Muslim that performs ablution properly, then stands and prays two rak'ats Namaz in such a manner that his heart and face are fully engulfed in the two rak'at, Jannat is compulsory (wajib) for him." (Mishkaat, p39)

Ameer Ul Mo'mineen Hazrat Umar radiallaho ta'ala anhu narrates that Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam said, "Whoever amongst you performs a thorough ablution and then recites Ash Hado Al Laa Ilaha Illal Laaho Wa Ash Hado An-na Muhammadan Abdohu Warasooluh, all eight doors of Paradise open for him, and he can enter through whichever door he pleases." (Mishkaat, p39)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah radiallaho ta'ala anhu narrates that Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam said, "My ummah will be called on the day of judgement in such a state that their foreheads will be glowing brightly and their arms and legs will be illuminated because of the effects of ablution. Therefore whoever can increase his brightness should do so." (Mishkaat, p39)

Explanation and Benefits about the above Ahadith

" Ablution in itself does not appear to be an act of worship. Pouring water and washing certain body parts does not seem to equate to worship. However, ablution is a means to pray Namaz and the means to any worship is also worship, and that is why ablution is also worship. Such a great worship, that it grants one Paradise and is one of the paths of Paradise.

" In the Hadith it mentions performing ablution during difficulties. This means that during the winter when it is cold, even though it may seem troubling, perform complete ablution. Do not take any short cuts and do not leave out any part of the ablution.

" In the Hadith it mentions performing complete ablution, going to the Mosque regularly and waiting for the next Namaz. Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam described these three things as "Fazaa-Lekumur Rabaat" "Rabaat" means mounting a horse for Islam and fighting against the enemies of Islam and to defend it. The Hadith means that doing these three things earns the same reward as Jihad.

In the same way, all sins leaving the body means that performing ablution removes all the small sins (Gunah E Sageerah). Large sins (Gunah E Kabeerah), if they are related to the rights of Allah Ta'ala, for example missing Namaz, not fasting etc., are not forgiven without true repentance to Allah Ta'ala. If the large sins refers to the rights of people, like stealing from someone, then together with repentance to Allah ta'ala, it is necessary to be forgiven by the person you have wronged as well.

When you enter the blessed boundaries of Madinah Munawwara, have duroods and salutations on your lips in abundance. You should be restless about reaching the resting-place of Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam; because all true lovers have a deep desire to meet their beloved. Therefore complete the necessities as soon as possible, (hotel room, settling in, bathroom etc.) and prepare to present yourself in front of the beloved of Allah Ta'ala. Take a bath, wear new clothes, put on Ittar (perfume), apply surma in your eyes, comb your hair and beard properly, put on an Imama Shareef (turban), and look the best that you possibly can.

Method of Attendance

Stand outside Baab e Jibrael in such a manner as if you are waiting for permission. Wait for a short while and then enter Masjid E Nabvi. Enter with your right foot first and as you enter recite the following:
"Bismillah-hir Rahmaan-Ir Raheem. Assalato Wasallamo Alaika Ya Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam. Bismillahe Dakhalto Wa Alaihe Tawak-Kalto Wa Nawayto Sunnatal E'te-kaaf"

Upon entering the Mosque walk right for a short distance and stand there and recite blessings and salutations in brief. Walk slowly towards the Roza Mubarak. Pass through Raiz-ul-Jannat and kiss the blessed Mimbar and Mihraab of Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam with your eyes. Keep moving forward and you will find yourself in front of the Blessed Golden Gates of Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam. Stand with complete respect, head lowered, arms folded and humbly present your salutation:
Assalato Wassalamo Alaika Yaa Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam
Assalato Wassalamo Alaika Ya Nabi Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam
Assalato Wassalamo Alaika Ya Noor Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam
Assalato Wassalamo Alaika Ya Khaira Khalqillah sallalaho alaihe wasallam
Wa Alaa Aaleyka Wa Zaweeka Fee Kulla Aaniw Walah Zatin Adada Kulla Zarrata Alfa Alfa Marratin.

After this present the salutations (salaams) of all those that have asked you to. Then make Dua as much as possible, for yourself, for family, for friends, for relatives, and for all Muslims. If possible also make Dua for me and especially make Dua for Sunni Dawat E Islami.

Then move slightly to your right and present salutations to Sayyedina Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique radiallaho ta'ala anhu:
Assalamo Alaikum Ya Ameerul Mo'mineen
Assalamo Alaikum Ya Khalifata Rasoolillah
Assalamo Alaikum Ya Saahiba Rasoolillah
Assalamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatuhu

Then move slightly to your right and present your salutations in the court of Sayyedina Hazrat Umar Faruq E Azam radiallaho ta'ala anhu:
Assalamo Alaikum Ya Ameerul Mo'mineen
Assalamo Alaikum Ya Khalifatul Muslimeen
Assalamo Alaikum Ya Izzal Islam
Assalamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatuhu

My Beloved Prophet sallalaho alaihe wasallam's beloved devotees! You have read about the importance of visiting the blessed court of Rasool Allah sallalaho alaihe wasallam from the Holy Qur'an and from Ahadith, and the practice of our pious predecessors. Let us make Dua that Allah Ta'ala grants us all the great blessing of visiting Madinah Munawwara with respect, and that he guides us to honour the etiquette's of Madinah and stay there with complete humility and respect. Aameen Summa Aameen.

Imam E Ahle Sunnat, Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza rehmatullahe ta'ala alaihe says, looking at forbidden things is always forbidden. It is not restricted to Masjid E Haram, or the Ka'aba, or during Taw'aaf. This is a great test for you. Ladies are ordered to uncover their faces and you are ordered not to look at them. Remember these are the bondwomen of a majestic king, and you are all together in a great court. Undoubtedly when a lion's child is close to him, no one will attempt to look at the cub. These are His Slaves and they are in His court, how unjust it would be to look at them with an evil eye?

Be very careful, tread carefully and guard your eyes. Haram is that place where you are gripped for even intending to do a bad deed and one sin is the equivalent of one hundred thousand sins. May Allah Ta'ala guide us towards goodness. Aameen (Fatawa E Razvia, Part 4, Page 7-9)
