"Let the visitor imagine the Prophet’s magnificent and generous form, as if he is sleeping in his grave, knowing him (the visitor) and hearing his words. Only then does he say: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah… and the visitor conveys to the Prophet the greetings of those who asked him to send Salam to to the Prophet, so he says: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah, from [name of person] the son of [name of parent] who seeks shafa’a (intercession) with you to your Lord, therefore ask for his shafa`a for all believers…."

The following quotes are from “Baargar-e-Risaalat” “In the Court of Rasulullah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam”, also available to download as a 16 page booklet.

“The grief of my carelessness. The guilt of my inner state. The anxiety of staying unaware. I have come to you from place to place. With this entire caravan”

“Madinah is coming closer and closer, our fortune is escalating higher and higher.”

“Let the darkness of your sins accompany you to the perfect spiritual guide”

"O Allah my eyes are so impure that they do not deserve the vision of the grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) - How do I find purity within my eyes that will enable me to set my eyes upon the Rauda Mubarak?

O Allah, if only You can grant me such tears that will purify and cleanse the impurity and weakness of my sight so that I can see the blessed grave of your beloved Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). This purification will enable me to see it with due respect.

O Allah my fortune has proliferated! Your mercy is immeasurable. You have given me the opportunity to make sajdah in Riyadul Jannah, O Allah! upon which ground have I made sajdah today? The ground upon which Sahabah (RA) used to make sajdah!"

"For this lowly unfaithful servant there can be no greater favour and honour than to be given the privilege of making sajdah where the Sahabah had placed their foreheads."

“(Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is Makki, Madani, Hashimi, Muttalibi For mankind this family lineage and genealogy is of great pride Advance gently and respectfully, with lowered gaze and speak softly As the soul of the Arabian messenger is resting here "

(photos taken this afternoon about half an hour before Maghrib on my way to meet a very special sister, Alhumdulillah. The courtyard work having just begun directly in front of the Blessed Green Dome. The grey barrier now extending from Bab Salam to the right to the eastern fence, leaving a very narrow walkway between the Masjid wall and the construction fence. it seems that itr could be months before being able to sit just opposite the Abode of Al-Mustafa.) 

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. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
