Madinah 1. Nearly all pilgrims visit Medina either before or after the completion of the Hajj. 1,601,034 Hajj pilgrims visited Madinah in 2007, an increase of 4% compared to the previous Hajj season. 1544 flights carried pilgrims to Madinah, and 1074 flights departed from Madinah 2. It is not required to stay 8 days and complete 40 prayers in the Prophet's Mosque. Those who insist on this as a requirement base it on a weak hadith. It has no support in The Qur'an or any authentic Sunnah. 3. I love Madinah. I have yet to meet a person who has not been captivated by this city. 4. There are lots of historical sites in Madinah that are worth visiting. These visits are not part of the Hajj rite. Remember to include the Quba mosque in your visits. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was reported to have said: "One who does wudhu at home, then offers prayers in Quba mosque is entitled to the reward of an Umrah." This is an evolving web site. More content will be added in the weeks ahead. Please visit periodically. Thank you.

A prayer in
my mosque is a thousand times more excellent than a prayer in
any other mosque, except Masjid-al-Haram.
Do not praise me as the Christians did Esa ibn Maryam (Jesus). [Prophet Muhammad, saw.] Do not make my grave a place of festivity and merry-making (but) invoke blessings upon me for your blessings will reach me, wherever you may be. [Prophet Muhammad, saw.]
Whoever asks
Allah to bless me once, Allah will bless him for that ten times.
Between my house
and my mimbar is a garden from the gardens of Paradise. |
