Dear Sister,
Jazakallahu khayrun for your reply. Alhumdolillah this will be our 7th visit, so have done the usual round of ziyarahs a few times, and I agree the tranquility and spirituality around our Beloved Prophet SAW’s masjid and abode cannot be matched elsewhere, however, this time I will be hoping to see some sites not previously visited, and the exhibitions you mention will be among those. Also the Saqeefa Bani Sadait (hope I’ve spelt that right) which I didn’t know was so close to where we will be staying i.A.
I pray Allah accepts our journey and make it a means to increasing the love in our hearts for our Beloved Prophet SAW, so we can truly live our lives on the Sunnah, and be blessed with closeness to our Prophet SAW in the hereafter.
Regarding your education etc in what you call jahaliyah, at least you are using skills gained then to inspire others on the straight path, and had you not attained those skills, we would not have gained so much. Allah works in mysterious ways.
Jazakallah for your duas as well, again, May Allah reward you. By the way I have read about this ‘list’ if it’s what I think, perhaps our family could be included on it too !
Wassalaam.

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Dear Fayrooz ‘down the road neighbour’ Masha’Allah!! what wonderful news…maybe we bump past each other on the way to Haram?
Your kindness is touching but all that appears in this space is merely my musings, which do not necessarily resonate with all readers. Alhumdulillah you benefit and because of that may we both be recipients of Allah Ta’ala’s favours, Ameen.
Your Du’a for words to continue to ‘flow from the fingertips’ via the heart as I never know how long this space will continue
Wassalamu alaikum

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Wa Rahamatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Dear Brother Khalid,
yes a dear Pakistani brother who has been there for more than thirty years, SubhanAllah!
Masha’Allah for your visit to Fez. All accounts of seekers visiting there are inspiring and the journey full of spiritual awakenings…may this be so for your time too. Do share your impressions when you can, Insha’Allah, especially of the city and its resemblance to the city of Hazrat Idris Rahmatullahi alaihi’s esteemed Grandfather SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
And enjoy the cuisine! YUM!
BarakAllahu fikum
Wassalamu alaikum

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
Dear Abu Arifa and family,
May Allah Ta’ala accept this humble effort from me and make us all among those who are graced with sound hearts and souls. JazakumuLlahu khaira for your exceptionally kind sentiments, but truly whatever goodness may fly from this space is nothing compared to the profound goodness and beauty of the one SallAllahu alaihi wasallam being written about.
Alhumdulillah for your upcoming visit. Yes there is a wealth of information shared over the past almost eight years, especially if you go to the ‘virtual tours’ category and make decisions as to what Zirayahs you may want to include in your stay. Though often I do emphasize the supreme bliss of remaining in and around our Beloved SallAllahu alaihi wasallam’s residence. Insha’Allah you do make the time to visit the Darul Madinah Museum too, as well as the exhibitions on the Seerah on the western side of the courtyard and the one behind Masjid Quba.
I am Australian born and yes there is an academic background in the Eng Lit and the creative arts but oh so long ago in my Jahaliyyah times
May your every step and breath be imbued with the Noor and Barakah of our hallowed places, Ameen
BarakAllahu fikum
Wassalamu alaikum

Assalamu alaykum dearest sister,

The posts here always reverberate with Truth. For as long as I have been visiting here, I always leave enriched after having read what has been shared.

Subhanallah. I live literally ‘down the road’ lol, and in sha Allah, I would like to come give salaams to the writer some day.

There have many occasions when I felt as if the post here were written just for me.! Alhamdulillah.

May words of Truth continue to flow from the fingertips, dear sister. It is appreciated so very, very much.

Salaam,
Fayrooz

Assalam e lekum

Was this a Pakistani shop? Looked like it

As usual enjoy reading your blog and plz give my Salam to the beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallalluhu Alayi Wasallam (PBUH). You are so lucky Masha’ALLAH.

I am going tomorrow (Insha’ALLAH) to Fes, Morocco to visit the mazhar of the Prophets great grandson Hazrat Idriss (as). They say Hazrat Idriss (as) built the city as a replica of medina munawarra so it will be exciting to see. Please do dua at the Roza shareef of the beloved Prophet saws (PBUH) that our journey goes well – Ameen!

Salaams Sister,
I saw your posts on skyscraper city and found your website [this one] and have been truly awestruck by the content, the amazing pics and the beautiful writing to go with them.
I was wondering as to your background, as your english and the writing language being so poetic and of very high quality, makes we wonder that you must have some good high quality education, perhaps a degree in english language or literature. Where do you originate from ? Some pics under your Eid blog I think, shows a park which looks english. Just curious, that is all.
I love your posts on the simple life of the Madeenah suburbs, away from the commercialised centre, and was also struck by the Madressa where young children are taught.
I will be in the blessed city of our Beloved Prophet SAW next week sunday for 10 days, and then onto Makkah, with my wife and daughter, and your articles and pics have been a great inspiration as a prep for this visit.
May Allah bless you and reward you. Keep up the great work.
Wasaalaam.
