of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Without a doubt, a true devotee of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم yearns to visit his resting place. He supplicates during the day and night for this opportunity and remains restless until his prayers are answered. When he receives the good news of visiting Madinah, the withering buds of his heart blossom, the lantern of devotion flares up, and the desire for sacrificing his life arises in his heart.

Dear Islamic brothers, when travelling to Madinah, if possible, travel barefoot with the gaze lowered at all times, and when you are close to Madinah and your gaze falls upon the green dome and the illuminated minaret, recite salat upon the Prophet with full passion and devotion, and also keep in mind the etiquettes of the Prophetic court.
