Book Name:Blessed Saints’ Manners of Visiting Madinah

§  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 foot.

§  Upon entering Masjid-un-Nabawi, pay your Salam and recite Salat, and hold for a while as if you are seeking permission from the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

§  Now devote complete attention towards the blessed Raudah with extreme humility, make a weeping face if you cannot weep.

§  With your back towards the Qiblah, stand, as you stand in Salah with both hands folded with utmost respect, at least two yards away facing the blessed face of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

§  During this, try your utmost to keep your heartfelt concentration towards the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

§  Do not waste even a single moment for as long as you are blessed with the stay in Madinah Munawwarah. If possible, spend most of your time in Masjid-un-Nabawi in the state of purity, offering Salah, reciting the Glorious Quran and Salat-‘Alan-Nabi. Worldly conversations should be avoided in any Masjid, especially in this holy Masjid.

§  How wonderful it would be for you to be blessed with keeping a Sawm in Madinah Munawwarah, especially on a hot summer day as intercession is promised to the one doing so!

§  Every good deed performed here is equivalent to fifty thousand good deeds. Therefore, make plenty of efforts to perform worship. Do reduce your intake. As long as possible, give charity especially to the deserving locals.

§  Whether you are in the city or in the suburbs, whenever you see the Grand Green Dome, turn towards it immediately and recite Salat and Salam with hands respectfully folded. Do not proceed without doing this as this is contrary to manners.
