Book Name:Blessed Saints’ Manners of Visiting Madinah

ارے زائرِ مدینہ! تُو خوشی سے ہنس رہا ہے!

دلِ غمزَدہ جو پاتا تو کچھ اَور بات ہوتی

 

As the destination drew closer, the intensity of his love was getting higher and higher and as soon as he reached the holy land of Madinah Munawwarah, he took off his shoes. اَلله اَلله! He is so deep in his devotional love for the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that he himself elaborates this in his couplets:

 

پاؤں میں جُوتا ارے مَحبوب کا کُوچہ ہے یہ

ہوش کر تُو ہوش کر غافل! مدینہ آگیا

 

During Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat’s Hajj pilgrimage in 1406 AH, he suffered with  a severe flu and had a constant runny nose. Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat               دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه never blew his nose on the sacred land of Madinah Munawwarah. Each and every act of his in Madinah Munawwarah displayed his immense respect for the sacred city. Throughout his journey while in the blessed Madinah Munawwarah, he endeavoured his utmost not to turn his back towards the Grand Green Dome.

مدینہ اس لئے عطّارؔ جان و دل سے ہے پیارا

کہ رہتے ہیں مِرے آقا مِرے دِلبر مدینے میں

 

Sometimes, while walking through the beautiful streets of Madinah, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه would politely take the broom from the hands of the street cleaners and would sweep the streets of Madinah, himself. Longing for this very privilege, the saint and true devotee of the Rasool, the grand Mufti of India, Mustafa Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه wrote:

 

خدا خیر سے لائے وہ دن بھی نوریؔ

مدینے کی گلیاں بہارا کروں میں
