THE HUMBLE CITY Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:22:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: almiskeenah http://almiskeenah.blogsome.com/2007/07/22/a-ramble-10-cont/#comment-854 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:05:13 +0100 http://almiskeenah.blogsome.com/2007/07/22/a-ramble-10-cont/#comment-854 Assalamu alaikum dear sister Tasnim....JazakiLlahu khairan for your encouragement,I truly appreciate your words. You and yours are in my Du'a...permanently on my "hit list" :) May Allah Ta'ala have us all permanently on His list! Ameen. If we look at the outer, then so much depends on what is required for Hijrah to Saudi, Madinah specifically, but we all know that Allah Ta'ala is the Master planner and everything for Him is easy, may your hopes be fulfilled, He is Kareem, Alhumdulillah. Dear Yusuf, you had better begin training for "huge springy leaps" to perform jumping the counter like brother Khalid...it is quite amazing. Insha'Allah you are also saving up to buy some of his perfumes! Indeed sister HB...having just farewelled special sisters after spending many times praying side by side it is a blessing to do so. Sounds weird, as in reality we are always praying side by side with another sister, but my experience and observation is that the majority seem to keep to themselves and the particular group, or family they are with. The times when communication between others does occur it is very moving. Once a sister who was visiting made the comment that she thought embracing Islam meant that she was part of a bigger sisterhood, but was shocked at how aloof many are while in Masjid Nabawi. May Allah Ta'ala plant His true Muhabbah in our hearts. Ameen to you coming, Ameen. Dear sister Shahida, yes, what you say is sadly, correct. I have just begun one of my squiggly maps addressing your comment...Insha'Allah it will appear as a post in the next Ziarah topic. Wassalamu alaikum almiskeenah.

I have a question: I have heard that during the womens ziyarah sessions we are no longer given access to the Ahly-suffah area nor are we allowed to convey salaams to The Habib from ( how do i put this)left side from the front gates of the chamber, on one side we have the Rowdah and the otherside is narrow passage like side where women do their salams. I hope that makes sense...anyhow i am informed that women no longer have access to this area and hence have to convey salaams from the riyad al janah. sister, can u please clarify if this true. look forward to your reply. Much love, shahida salaams again Sis,

Jazakillah for the pictures sister. You are so right about adab- SubhanAllah it's the thing that stands out most about Madinah. Subhan'Allah, reading this blog and the subsequent comments makes me feel as though I am right back in the city of the beloved.

I pray that we can meet in person one day soon and that we can convey our Salams to Habib Allah together and pray side by side in the Haram. May your efforts here count for you in the akhirah and may you be raised in the company of the Best of Creation sallalahu alayhi wasallam. Please keep us in your dua’s love, HB Ps Jazakillah khair to brother Qushayri for sharing that beautiful dua! Sometimes our own words are not enough so thank you!! Salams

The Munajah is so moving...I have already saved it in word and printed it out for so many. Once again words cannot express my gratitude for sharing this. I was thinking the other day about Khalid's little shop, wondering how is it that there are hundreds of perfume shops all around Masjid Nabawi, some so elaborate and glitzy, decorated in themes, offering the most exclusive packaging...and yet the Shuyukh take their business to brother Khalid. It is about Adab! When the Adab of the Noble Resident SallAllahu alaihi wasallam is in the heart this acts as a magnet attracting other hearts, and this is what brother Khalid has....humility and the eagerness to serve others unconditionally, honesty and trust. May Allah Ta'ala continue to bless us all and guide us all in making effort on Adab, Akhlaq, Sifat of our Beloved SallAllahu alaihi wasallam, Ameen. Dear sister Shahida, and huge JazakiLlahu khairanS for your words too! Sometimes I consider finishing with this blog, questioning its benefit, but when I read your comment I feel that even if only one person has gained then it has been worth the effort....but it also came to me that it is not me or the blog....it the energy of this Radiant City oozing through cyberspace....that is its power and its quality and the high station of our Noble Messenger, SallAllahu alaihi wasallam....his light, a light from the Source of Lights can permeate these boxes of plastic and metal...may all hearts be open all the time, and in a state of seeking and yearning , and then the alchemy will be felt, Insha'Allah. Dear sister...we are all sinners...but SubhanAllah how our Rabb loves to hear us repent, and then Insha'Allah responding with boundless mercy. This sinner did write your name on my Rowdha "list" after your first comment. And love to you too :) wassalamu alaikum almiskeenah Assalamu alaikum, dear brother Qushayri, Ameen thumma Ameen and JazakumuLlahu khairan katheeran….a tear jerking Du’a that has truly touched my inner being…may Allah Ta’ala respond to all our humble supplications, Ameen.

I am truly indebted to you sister – for some months now I was spiritually struggling, and then suddenly I found your blog and alhamdulilah reading your posts have revived my soul. I can’t express how much you have helped me – for what this sinners prayers count, I pray from the bottom of my heart that Allah grants you the closest maqam to the Habib (saw) for helping me. I have read every single posting and I feel as though I’m walking on air, my yearning for the Habib (saw) has gone to another level. All the ‘insider’ information that you provide were so enjoyable to read. I just can’t express my gratitude. May I please request a HUGE favour? Next time to you go to visit Rasulullah (saw), please, please can you convey my humble salaams? Much Love, Shahida Salaams sis,
