Whoever among you can die in Madinah should die in Madinah, (فَاِنِّی اَشْفَعُ لِمَنْ يَمُوْتُ بِهَا) because I will intercede for the one who dies in Madinah.

(Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 483, Hadees 3943)

At another place, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: (On the Day of Judgement, when everyone will be resurrected from graves), then first my and then Abu Bakr’s and Umar’s (رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُمَا) graves will open. Then I will go to those buried in Jannat-ul-Baqi’ and they will gather with me. Then I will wait for the people of Makkah, to the extent that I will get them along with me in between Makkah and Madinah. (Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 388, Hadees 3712)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Remembrance of Madinah

Dear Islamic brothers! We are listening to the virtues and specialities of Madinah-e-Munawwarah and the sacred places it contains. Remember that talking about Madinah soothes the souls and hearts of the devotees of Prophet. The amount of Kalams (poems) that are written in different languages of the world about separation from Madinah and yearning to behold it, are not written for any other city or land of the world. Whoever beholds Madinah even once considers himself to be fortunate and remembers the beautiful moments spent in Madinah-e-Munawwarah forever.

Devotees of Madinah remain restless due to being separated from it and remain extremely desirous of beholding it. What is Madinah and how shall we love Madinah? How shall our feelings be while departing from Madinah? For this, the Seerah and character of our righteous predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی is a great example for us.
