MERITS OF THE HOLY SHRINE

The Royal Court of the Holy Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam is an esteemed place where seventy thousand Angels come in the morning, and another seventy thousand in the evening to pay their respects and Ŝalaatu Salaam every day. The person who gets this opportunity once is not allowed to visit it again. This is the place where the most distinguished creation of Allah the Exalted is lying at rest. The part of the land touching the body of Holy Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam is considered to be more exceptional than the `Arsh. The leader of Angels Ĥazrat Jibraeel `Alaihis Salaam comes to this court with utmost respect & dignity. You have to honour this court to best of your abilities. You are not allowed to be slightly negligent at this sacred place, lest your deeds become vain while you do not even perceive it.

Allah the Exalted does not tolerate even slightest disrespect in honour of His beloved Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam. Keep in mind the honour and the status of the Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam while lavishing admiration on him. The Learned know that the blessings that accrue from the court of Holy Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam does not alienate one from his senses, on the contrary it gives him the consciousness which is not achievable from any other source. Keep in mind that to be obedient to the

Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam without love towards him has no value. In the same way having love for him without obeying his orders is not acceptable at all. The Holy Quran says:

“Wa Lau Annahum Izh Zhalamoo Anfusahum Jaa’ooka Fastaghfirul

Laaha Wastaghfara Lahumur Rasoolu Lawajadul Laaha Tawwaabar

Raĥeema”

(And if they commit excess on themselves, they should come to you and beg forgiveness from Allah and the Prophet recommends for their pardon, they will definitely find Allah Most Forgiving and Merciful. Soorah 4: Aayat 64)

Ĥazrat `Abullah Bin`Umar Radiallaahu `Anhumaa narrated that the Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam said “The person who comes solely for the Bahaar-e- Ĥajj 129 purpose of visiting my grave, has a right on me, that I should intercede for him on the Day of Judgment.” (Ţabraani)

Ĥazrat `Abullah Bin`Umar Radiallaahu `Anhumaa also narrated that the Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam said “The person who visits my grave after performing Ĥajj, will be regarded as if he has seen me in my life.”

(Ţabraani, Daar Qutni)

Ĥazrat `Abullah Bin`Umar Radiallaahu `Anhumaa also narrated that the Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam said “The person who does not visit my grave after performing Ĥajj, has done injustice to me.” (Kanzul-Aa`maal)

Ĥazrat `Abullah Bin`Abdullah Radiallaahu `Anhumaa narrated that the Prophet Ŝallalaahu `Alaihi Wa Sallam said “The person who comes to Masjid-e-Nabavi after performing Ĥajj, with intention to visit my grave, will get the reward of two accepted Ĥajj.” (Kanzul-Aa`maal)
