NASCENCY
Janazah after Salatul Asr, may Allah Ta’ala fill their Qabr with Nur and the fragrance of Jannah and bless all the dwellers of Jannatul Baqi with peace and tranquilty as they await to be raised with our most beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wassalam. Ameen.
I then visited a group of "Hajj-Radiant" sisters from Karachi who were staying on the top floor of the Movenpick hotel, where the following photos were taken from.
Looking south, the direction of Qiblah on the western side of Masjid Nabawi. The new construction running the length of Haram on the right.
Just to the right of this new construction is the lush garden of Saqeefa, and the four Musalla masaajid at the opposite end to the left. Jabal Eyr, the Bab of Jahannam in the background marking the southern sacred boundary of of Haram.
The Jewel of Domes, protecting the Jewel of Creation SallAllahu alaihi wassalam. Jannatul Baqi to the left. You can see the closed umbrellas rising up from the two central courtyards.

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. Ameen.
“May I one day again, come to your City,
O sweet and precious Madani.
And have true love, like Uways al Qarani
O! Allah, hear the cries of your Ghulam,
Upon Thy blessed, do I send continuous Salam!
May countless blessing be upon thee,
O sweet and beautiful Madani!” ~

Posted on behalf of a dear Ashiq-e-Rasool SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
FOOTPRINTS.
One night I had a dream. I dreamt I was walking in the Blessed City of Madinah, and by my side was my Beloved Prophet (SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam). Across the beautiful blue sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Beloved Prophet (SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam). When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of my life when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat. My heart was grieved by this immensely. I turned to my Beloved Prophet (SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) and asked, “Ya Rasoolullah, (SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) you promised me, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always, and never leave my side. But I have noticed that during the most trying times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” My Beloved Prophet, the Mercy for Mankind, (SalAllahu Alaihi Wasallam) moved closer to me and whispered with his sweet, fragrant breath, “My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
