Let’s increase the dignity of the pure city of ‘Madinah’ in our hearts by listening to a few characteristics of it for attaining blessings and mercy:

§  There is not a single city on the earth that has so many beautiful names as we have for the holy city of Madinah. Some Islamic scholars have written 100 names.

§  Madinah Munawwarah is a city upon whose devotion a large number of eulogies have been written in many languages of the world, and these praises continue to be written.

§  The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم migrated here and resided here.

§  Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ named it ‘Taabah’.

§  Upon his return from a journey when the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would arrive to blessed Madinah, then due to the love of Madinah, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would increase the speed of his transport.

§  The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم felt inner peace in Madinah.

§  The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would not wipe the dust of Madinah from his blessed face and also would forbid the companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم from it and said that dust of Madinah has healing powers.
