Etiquettes Of Madinah

Etiquettes of Madinah The Prophet used to visit them and make dua for them. He said: “Visit the graves, for they remind you of the Hereafter.” (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 23005) From the Hadith, we learn that the purpose of visiting graves is to remember the Hereafter. The state of those who have passed on reminds those still living of their own end. Three miles north of Madinah is Mount Uhud. About it, the Prophet said: “Uhud loves us, and we love Uhud.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 2889) Now, the population of Madinah has grown close to Uhud. Near this mountain is the site where the Battle of Uhud took place. The Prophet’s uncle, Hamzah, was martyred in this battle. His simple grave still exists within a fenced area. Beside him are the graves of other Companions. There are many mosques inside and around Madinah besides the mosque of the Prophet. If the pilgrim has the opportunity, he should visit these mosques and pray there. For example: Masjid Quba, Masjid Ghamamah, Masjid Sittiyah, Masjid al-Fath, Masjid Banu Haram, Masjid Dhubab, Masjid Qiblatain, Masjid al-Fadih, Masjid Banu Qurayzah, Masjid Banu Zafar, Masjid al-Ijabah, Masjid alSajdah, Masjid Abi, Masjid Abu Bakr, Masjid Umar, Masjid Ali, Masjid Ibrahim, etc. All India Radio, New Delhi, 9 October 1983.
