Following Mecca as Islam’s holiest city, Medinah ranks close behind. For Muslims, this is a city of immense importance. The green dome of the Holy Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia, was constructed above Muhammad’s tomb. After fleeing Mecca (622 ce), Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) formed the Muslim community (ummah) at Medina, where his corpse is also buried. Umrah packages 2023 provides pilgrims the best Umrah services.
It has been said that Medinah is the ideal location for a believer. If only they realised its full value, they’d never leave; if someone leaves Medinah because they’ve lost interest in it, Allah will replace them with someone who appreciates it more.
Medinah is immune to dajjal
Aside from Makkah and Medinah, “no town which Ad-Dajjal (the anti-Christ) will not enter except those two, and there will be no entrance (road) but the angels will be standing in rows guarding it against him; and then Medinah will shake with its inhabitants three times; and Allah will drive out from it all the unbelievers and the hypocrites.” [Bukhari]
Masjid-e-Quba
In Surah Taubah, Allah (SWT) praises Masjid Quba, saying, “…surely a masjid constructed on righteousness from the very first day is more deserving that you should stand in it.” [9:108]
Masjid-e-Nabawi
At the time of the migration of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to Medinah (then named Yathrib), the city’s chiefs and his closest supporters rode around his camel dressed in their finest garments and shining armour. All of us wished he’d drop by our place.
Roza Mubarak
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) made this statement to pilgrims who came to Medinah to do the Ziyarah (visit to the grave of the Holy Prophet): “Whoever visits me after my death is like he who had visited me during my life.” [Tabraani]
Riyaad-ul-Jannah
The Riadhul Jannah, or Garden of Paradise, is the space between the Sacred Chamber and the Pulpit (Mimbar). Right now, you can tell it apart from the rest by the green carpet, also known as Rawdah.
Ustuwaanah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):
After praying here for a while, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) would next proceed to the location at Ustuwaanah Hannanah. This version of the Qur’an is also known as the Ustuwaanah Qur’ah.
Jannat-ul-Baqi
Requesting dying in the lighted Medinahh, the city of Allah’s Final Messenger (May Allah bless him and wish him peace), is a noble act. And being laid to rest at the al-Baqi’ cemetery carries a tremendous deal of weight and meaning.
Mountains of Heaven and Mountains of Hell
“Uhud is a mountain which likes us and which we love; it is upon the Gate of Heaven,” said the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), “and Ayr is a spot which hates us and which we detest, it is upon the Gate of Hell.”
Wadi-e-Jinn
Finally, the excitement of a trip to Medinah would be lacking without a trip to the wadi-e-jinn. The distance from Medinah is around 30–40 kilometers. An automobile parked here will continue to go at 120 km/h even if the engine is turned off, and water thrown down the slope will flow uphill. Locals allege that jinn inhabits the area and that strangers who go there will hear voices telling them to leave because “you don’t belong here.” You can visit Medinah through the cheapest umrah packages 2023 from London.
