O Allah! Bestow blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad,
who is the best among Prophets sent by You
and the most noble among Your chosen people,
the leader of the saints, and the Seal of the Prophets,
and the beloved of the Lord of the Worlds,
a witness for the Messengers of Allah (on the Day of Judgement)
and the intercessor for sinners,
the leader of all the children of Prophet Adam Alayhissalaam;
whose remembrance has been exalted among the highest angels,
who brings glad tidings (of heaven) and warns (against hell-fire),
a shining light, truthful, trustworthy, manifest truth,
most kind and merciful, the guide to the straight path,
whom You gave the seven often-repeated verses of Surah Fatiha
and the magnificent Qur’an,
the Prophet of mercy and the guide of the nation,
the first one to be resurrected and to enter paradise,
and one who is supported by angels Jibril and Meekaail,
whose coming had been foretold in the Torah and the Bible,
Mustafa, Mujtaba, the selected one, the father of Qasim,
Muhammad, son of ‘Abdillah, son of ‘Abdil Muttalib, son of Hashim.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

Dear Brother Zia,
Ameen thuma Ameen…such closing the eyes for a few minutes imagining all to be united in Jannatul Firdous gives goosebumps! May Allah Ta’ala’s Mercy shower upon the Ummah and with the intercession of our Beloved Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam we truly will be united, Ameen.
You and yours are already on the ‘list’ for Salam…and Insha’Allah for guidance re Hijrah.
Dear renfeer, Insha’Allah will do
Oh how I wish you were by my side Dear Bint Asiyah!! *sigh*
Wassalamu alaikum
Wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu…..
when you next visit the Best of the creation – convey to him As-Salaam – & if at all you wish to add something about the sender then let it be mentioned – it is from the one who loves the Swalaathu Taj over all the other swalawaath…..

Bumbling around in a black polyester abayah (lightest weight I can find) as the mercury climbs here is my other approach to physical preps. We’re hoping to find some decent covering summer clothing whilst we’re there (which is a lost cause in the land of tank tops and capris… summer weight long-sleeve long tops and long skirts sans slits are very hard to find) – what are our chances of success??
the psyching up has already begun… the offspring are spouting theories about a “ceiling effect” of heat (in other words, after about 35 degrees C it’s all just Very, Very Hot and another 10 degrees don’t really make much of a diff!). The heat will be a big challenge for me, duas will be appreciated
Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Dear Umm Mahmoud. I would be the worst to ask about shopping for clothes here…but I do notice that there are many ‘modern’ type shops that are popular here…some around Haram both in Makkah and Madinah…more of a selection in the big new Malls and the massive warehouse places…friends seem to find the sort of things you are wanting…plus there is the long loose Arabic style, but sadly most of these are synthetic fabrics. Alhumdulillah for the air conditioning, the umbrellas and the misty spraying fans!!! And often the thoughts that get me through the scorching conditions revolve around just how did the illustrious Sahabah RadhiAllahu anhum and our Blessed Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasalam cope?? SubhanAllah, how much we have to work on our Iman and the taming of the nafs. May Allah Ta’ala guide and strengthen us all, Ameen
LOL! Insha’Allah that theory holds fast for you all when here
Wassalamu alaikum

Dear All,Assalamu Alikum,
I am from India.I would request all of you who are visitng or planning to vist MAdeena to offer Salam to our belowed Prophet (sallallahu alaihi vasallam) on my and my families behalf.

After our marriage,for 3 years we were praying for a kid and after our Umrah,Allah accepted our prayers (alhamdu lillah) and my wife is pregnant now .Please pray for getting a swalih/swaliha.
