THE EVENTFUL AND BLESSED LIFE OF PROPHET ﷺ

 The Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born in the same year in which Abraha of Yemen attacked the Ka‘bah. Historian Mahmud Pasha Falki, the renowned mathematician, has calculated this year to be 571 CE, agreed upon by many authentic works on the history of Arabia.

ABOUT HAJJ

 IHajj is one of the pillars of our faith.  Hajj is the pilgrimage to the Holy land of Makkah. It is enjoined on a Muslim to go at least once in his life if one has the means. This means you would need to commit financially, physically and spiritually and also be of sound mind. This post would help you figure out where to start in preparing for Hajj and even some resources. The pilgrimage takes place in the last month of Islamic calendar Dhul-Hijjah and the rites are performed between the 8th and 12th days of the month. As it follows the lunar calendar, the dates change every year. The rites of Hajj date back to the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). And while performing hajj, one would walk the path the blessed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ walked. Hajj is a total transformational experience. SubhanAllah! it is truly the journey of a lifetime. You become washed of your sins and have a renewed faith. It goes beyond the rites of pilgrimage too. You find that you learn so much about yourself. Should you be ble

Masjid Biah/Masjid Uqbah

 Masjid Biah/Uqbah is located in Mina, near Jamarat. It is here that the Ansar of Madinah, who were of the Banu Khazraj and the Banu Aws tribes, pledged their allegiance with Prophet Muhammad (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).

Nimra Mosque

 Nimra mosque is located next to Mount Arafat. Part of the mosque is actually within the borders of Mount Arafat.

Zam Zam Well

 Allah (the Glorified and Exalted) created the well to provide Hajira, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him), and her baby Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) (peace be upon him) with water in the hot and dry valley they were in. In her desperate search for water, Hajira ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwa to provide for her baby who was dying of thirst. The Zamzam Well is located approximately 20 meters (66 ft) east of the Kaaba.

Taneem Mosque (Masjid Ayesha)

 The mosque is roughly 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from Masjid al-Haram. This mosque is also known as Masjid Ayesha. “When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed his pilgrimage, he advised his companions to start with the Umrah and wait for the pilgrimage days to start on their major duty. However, Ayesha was on her menstrual period and was unable to perform the Umrah on her arrival. When she mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that she would go back having performed the pilgrimage only while others did both duties, he told her brother to take her to the nearest point outside of the Haram area. He took her to Taneem where she started her Ihram again and came back to perform the Umrah.

I just want to be there. Always and forever..  In the comfort of the city of my beloved Salallahu alayhi wa sallam..  In the serenity of Taiba… O the one who receives an invitation to Madinah,  You are more fortunate than anyone in this world…  Every day in Madinah is blessed…  Every breath you take in Madinah is blessed…  Every blink of an eye in Madinah is blessed…  Every gaze on the Blessed Green Dome is from the fortunes of Paradise…  O the one who receives an invitation to Madinah, blessed are you, so envious I am of you… Every Salaam you say, every greeting you greet with, every word you utter is more blessed than my existence in any other place…  اللهم كما رزقتنا سكني المدينة، فلا تحرمنا حسن الخاتمة فيها، والدفن في بقيتها، اللهم لا تبعدنا عن المدينة احياء و امواتا.. آمين O Allah, like how You have sustained us with staying in Madinah, then do not deprive us of a good end in it and being buried in its Baqi, O Allah, do not make us far from Madinah while we alive or while we are d
