Ziyarah & Salam - Visit to Madinah Munawwarah

ZIYARAH Ziyarah literally means to visit. In the light of the Shariah it means to travel to Madinah to offer salutations and pay tribute to the Prophet [PBUH] and his Masjid. There is no Miqat or Ihram for Madinah, although this does not take away from its sanctity, as again one has more reason to stay away from sins. (This again does not justify sinning elsewhere.) Access to staying in Madinah is available all the time according to Shariah. Also, no maximum/minimum time limit exists. However one should try to stay in Madinah for at least 8 days, so as to allow the performing of 40 Salah with Jamaah. “Whoever offers 40 Salah in my Masjid, not missing even one Salah, for him is written (assured) freedom from the fire, delivery from punishment, and freedom from hypocrisy.” Ahmad SALAWAT The salawat provided in this book has been thoroughly researched, to ensure that they are as accurately represented as possible. We have referred to the original sources of Ahadith when compiling this boo
