laziness in this matter could result in a major calamity. Let’s listen to a cautionary parable and learn a lesson from this:

The harm of disrespecting the yoghurt of Madinah

A person would always cry and ask for forgiveness in Madinah. When he was asked regarding this, he replied: ‘Once I said that the yoghurt of Madinah is sour and defective. As soon as I said this, my sainthood disappeared and I faced the consequences that, ‘O you, who called the yoghurt of city of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sour and defective! Look with the eyes of love! Each and every thing in the blessed streets of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is excellent.’ (Derived from: Bahar-e-Masnawi, 128)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! May we be sacrificed upon the fate of those who go to Madinah! Their destiny is at their peak, their fortunes are shining, they are at the peak of attaining blessings, their happiness is worth watching, and the blessings of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ are raining upon them continuously. And why not, as the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has himself, from his own truthful blessed tongue, given glad tidings of intercession to those who visit the blessed shrine of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Intercession becomes Wajib

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated:

مَنْ زَارَقَبْرِیْ وَجَبَتْ لَہٗ شَفَاعَتِیْ

 i.e. ‘Whoever beheld my grave, my intercession has become Wajib for him.’ (Dar Qutni, Kitab-ul-Hajj, vol. 2, pp. 351, Hadees 2669)

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Just imagine how sacred and blessed that place is by the virtue of beholding which, one gets bestowed with intercession. She will be blessed
