Journey to Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ 161
5. How wonderful it would be for you to be blessed with keeping
a fast in Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ, especially on a hot summer
day as intercession is promised to the one doing so!
6. Every good deed performed here is equivalent to fifty thousand
good deeds. Therefore, make strenuous efforts to perform
worship. Do reduce your intake. As long as possible, give charity
especially to the deserving locals.
7. Recite the entire Quran at least once here and once in the Ḥaṭīm
of the Holy Ka’baĥ.
8. As it is an act of worship to look at the Holy Ka’baĥ and
the Holy Quran, it is also an act of worship to look at the
blessed mausoleum. Therefore, reap its blessings reverently in
abundance and present Ṣalāt and Salām.
9. After the daily five Ṣalāĥs or every morning and evening, present
yourself in front of the Golden Grilles in the direction of the blessed
face of the Holy Prophet ٖ
and present Salām.
10. Whether you are in the city or in suburbs, whenever you see the
Green Dome, turn towards it immediately and recite Ṣalāt and
Salām with hands folded respectfully. Do not proceed without
doing it as this is contrary to manners.
11. As long as possible, try to offer Ṣalāĥ in the very first Masjid
made in the era of the Beloved Prophet ٖ
. Its
length and width were 50 yards each. The very first Masjid was
extended later on. To offer Ṣalāĥ in the extended area of the
Masjid is also like offering Ṣalāĥ in Masjid-un-Nabawī.
12. Do not do Ṭawāf [i.e. move around] the blessed mausoleum.
Neither prostrate yourself nor bow down like Rukū’. The
reverence for the Holy Prophet ٖ
lies in obeying
him. (Derived from Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1227-1228)
