The manners and etiquettes of presenting oneself in the blessed court

Commenting on the manners and etiquettes of presenting oneself in the blessed court, a Khalifah of A’la Hadrat, Sadr-ush-Shar’iah, Badr-ut-Tareeqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has stated:

§  Make the sole intention of appearing in the blessed court.

§  If Hajj is Fard, then you should come to Madinah Munawwarah after performing Hajj. However, if Madinah Tayyibah is on the way of Makkah Mukarramah then performing Hajj without visiting the blessed court is a severe deprivation and hardness of the heart and you should make your presence in the blessed court as the source and Wasilah (means) for acceptance of the Hajj as a worldly and Deeni privilege. And if Hajj is Nafl (supererogatory), then it is permissible to perform Hajj, purify yourself first then appear in the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم or you may appear in the blessed court first and seek Wasilah (means) for the acceptance of Hajj.

§  Continue reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi all the way as Madinah Munawwarah approaches, you should watch with more eagerness and more yearning.

§  When you approach the Haram-e-Madinah, it is better to walk while weeping, with head bowed down, lowered gaze, reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi abundantly and if possible walking bare feet.
