The Importance of Madīnah al-Munawwarah

Qadī Iyad (d. 544) said:

"Among the ways to magnify and honor prophet ﷺ is to magnify all his causes and to honor his sites and places, from Makkah and Madīnah, and his institutions, and what he touched ﷺ, or is known by.

Imam Mālik رَحِمَه اللَّه would not ride an animal in Madīnah and he used to say: "I am shy before Allah to tread on the soil where the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, is with the hoof of an animal" and it is narrated about him that he gave Imam Shafi'i many horses and mules that he had, and Imam Shafi'i said: "Keep for yourself an animal from them" So he responded to him with a similar answer.

and Imam Mālik issued a fatwa that whoever said the soil of Madīnah is bad should be beaten thirty lashes and ordered to be imprisoned, as he had a high status. He said: "How deserving he is of having his neck struck: the soil in which the Prophet ﷺ, was buried, he claims is not good!"

Az-Zāhid who was among the brave archers, that he said: "I have not touched the bow with my hand except in a state of purity since I learned that the Prophet ﷺ, took the bow with his hand."

And the cap [qālansuwa] of Khalid Ibn al-Walid had some hairs from the hair of the Prophet, His cap fell during one of his battles, and he made a fierce effort to retrieve it, which the companions of the Prophet ﷺ criticized because of the many who were killed in it. He said: "I did not do it because of the cap, but because of what it contained of his hair ﷺ so that I would not be deprived of its blessing and it would not fall into the hands of the disbelievers."

And in the Sahih, it is said that the Prophet ﷺ said about Madīnah: "Whoever commits a crime in it or shelters a criminal, upon him is the curse of Allāh, the angels, and all the people; Allāh will not accept from him any compensation or justice."

After a few lines, Qadī Iyad then said: "and it is narrated that Abū al-Fadl al-Jāwharī when he visited Madīnah and approached its houses, dismounted and walked weeping, reciting: "and when we saw the trace of the one who did not leave us a heart to recognize the traces nor a mind, We dismounted from our mounts, walking in honor of the one who departed, that we might visit him as a caravan. and it is narrated from some seekers that when he looked upon the Madīnah of the Messenger ﷺ, he began saying, quoting: "The veil has been lifted for us, revealing to the observer a moon before which illusions vanish, And when the mounts brought us to Muhammad, riding on them became forbidden, They brought us near to the best of those who trod the earth So it has upon me reverence and respect." and it is narrated from some of the mashāyikh that he performed the Hajj walking, and it was said to him about that. He said: "The runaway servant comes to the house of his master riding? If I could walk on my head, I would not walk on my feet." and it is appropriate for places that were populated by revelation and the descent of divine messages, and where Jibrīl and Mīkā'īl frequented, and from where the angels and Rūh ascended, and whose courtyards were filled with sanctification and praise, and whose soil encompassed the body of the master of mankind.

From it spread the religion [dīn] of Allāh and the Sunnah of His Messenger, what spread. Schools of verses, mosques of prayers, scenes of virtues and goodness, institutes of proofs and miracles, rites of religion [dīn], landmarks of Muslims,the stands of the master of messengers, and the abode of the seal of prophets, where prophethood burst forth, and where its tide overflowed, and places that wrapped the message, and the first land whose soil touched the skin of the chosen one. That we should honor its courtyards and inhale its fragrances."

Whenever I get emotionally stressed I relapse into unhealthy habits (bad eating habits, staying up way too late, increasing screentime) but gardening is definitely helping. There’s still good things though: the sky is blue, flowers are blooming, my plant is growing strawberries, and I have time to paint ✨Alhamdulillah 🌙

i think my favorite thing that i got out of my medical anthropology elective is how culturally defined health and illness are... very interesting to think about

[thehalalgirlofficial]

so you've fallen off track this zhul-hijjah

first thing's first, it happens. beating yourself up now won't change what's already been done (or hasn't been).

secondly, know that Allah ﷻ is the most forgiving, so if He ﷻ wants, He ﷻ can choose to overlook all the mistakes you've made and turn them into good deeds, so never loose hope

now, the most important thing is that you still have time. these virtuous ten days aren't over yet. let's work on making the absolute most of whatever's left.

1. wrote down your goals- this will make them more tangible and once you place them somewhere visible, it'll serve as a reminder of what you ought to be doing. be realistic about how big you make your benchmarks, but don't completely dismiss your ability to give it your all once you get down to it inshaAllah ﷻ

2. make a plan- so, you know you want to recite the entire qu'ran, and you don't have a full 10 days to do it anymore? that's ok, plan out how much you can recite daily in order to complete your goal. similarly, have an approach for each individual goal so you're not left wondering how to achieve them.

3. hold yourself accountable- this varies widely for different people. some like to use a chart or app to ensure they stay on track whilst others need a buddy to check in with. some need a variety of methods. figure out what works best for you and then commit to not letting yourself slide anytime you fail to complete an intended task

4. time is everything- as stated in sura asr, man is at a loss with time. it's truly the one thing we can never get back. try to keep this in mind for the rest of these blessed ten days, so that as soon as you feel you're about to waste time on an app or doing something unnecessary, you snap yourself out of it. the first ten days of zhul hijjah are only 240 hours in total, and out of that, you need time to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom. after that, every hour counts and we can't afford to waste even one.

5. lastly, turn to Allah ﷻ for help- make dua to Allah ﷻ to help you make the most of this beautiful opportunity and keep firm faith in your ability to do so. if you have hope in Allah ﷻ’s mercy, He ﷻ will definitely take care of you.

there's a lot more to be said on this topic, but these are just a few tips that i feel are basic necessities. may Allah ﷻ grant us all the tawfiq to reap the most benefit of these most blessed days. ameen

No but you really do see what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for red cars you’ll keep noticing them. If you keep looking for proof that your life is lonely and miserable you’ll find it

But if you keep looking for proof your life is filled with tiny little happinesses you’ll find them too

Please have your kids memorize longer surahs in a fun way when they're little. That way those surahs will always be filled with a distinct comfort and nostalgia like nothing else when they get older. It doesn't even have to be a whole surah. The satisfaction of reciting qur'an and reaching an ayah you know is so amazing. It's like arriving at a place that's packed and recognizing your friend in the crowd ;_;

If you make it fun then it'll be such a powerful thing in their lives. It's a different kind of comfort subhanallah.

This also works on yourself by the way- you are the youngest you'll ever be so might as well start today... Who knows? Some years down the road you might read the ayah or happen to hear it and recognize it like you would an old friend 💓💓
