Muraaqabah when visiting Haramain Shareefain

When visiting Haramain Shareefain:

  • Read so much of Durood Sharief that Nabi Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam becomes surprised and happy by the amount being conveyed and also desires our visit.
  • Dua to make : “O Allah, grant me the Ma’rifat of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam)”
  • Every Monday and Thursday, our complete profile is presented to Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam), so he is fully aware of our background (ie : our Khidmat, our deeds, etc) when we go for Ziyarah.
  • Be careful of entertaining bad thoughts of people there. No matter who the person is, try and entertain good thoughts. Don’t pass remarks such as “The Pakistani people / Indian people are not paak saaf” etc – This becomes gheebat of the entire population of Pakistan and India. This is a very great sin.
  • Engage in abundant Istighfaar for not conforming to the Sunnah. We take showers, but the Sunnah is to sit and take a bath – We don’t consider that we are not doing things in conformity of the Sunnah – We use the high pan toilet, when the Sunnah is to use the low pan. (Ml Abdul Hamid Saheb (D.B)
  • Give time to Muraqabah. (Ml Abdul Hamid Saheb (D.B)
  • Nafl Tawaaf is optional – To be touched by men is Haraam. So if a woman does not make nafl Tawaaf to protect her Hayaa and modesty and avoid being in physical contact with men, she will get the Muhabbat of Allah Ta’ala and great rewards also, because of her concern not to fall into Haraam and displease Allah Ta’ala. (Mufti Muhammed Saeed Motara Saheb (D.B)
  • Try and read 500 Durood Sharief (Shortest being “Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam”) after every Fardh Salaah (Hajee Nakhooda Saheb (D.B)
  • When going to Baitullah : Remeber our Ghunas, Seek forgiveness and Hope for forgiveness, Go with Nadaamat, Regret and Helplessness.
  • Be cautious of food in Haramain Sharifain .
May Allah Ta’ala grant us the ability to make this a reality. Aameen
