Miracles happen all around us, if only we knew where to look. Almighty Allah grants miracles to us every day which we are not even aware of. The miracle of another day, another breath, another step these are all miracles, which would be impossible without the help of Almighty. In some cases, the Almighty takes from you first to test your steadfastness and strong resolve in front of challenges, only to reward you for this strong resolve later.

Visiting Madinah brings peace and blessing to our hearts. One of the most important places to visit there is the Prophet’s masjid, Al-Masjid An-Nabawi, where there is the Prophet’s tomb. It is highly recommended for one who visits Madinah to pray in the Prophet’s masjid and visit his tomb and send salutations upon him. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said in Manaasik al-Hajj wa’l-‘Umrah: “After (the pilgrim) prays upon arrival in the Prophet’s Mosque as much as Allah wills he should pray, he should go and send salaams upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his two companions Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). 1 – He should stand in front of the grave of the Prophet and say, “Al-salaamu ‘alayka ayyuha’l-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Allaahi wa barakaatuhu (Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy and blessings of Allah).” If he wants to add something appropriate there is nothing wrong with that, such as saying: “Al-salaamu ‘alayka ya ...

He just died in Madinah Brother Mohamed Hoblos gives tribute to the life of Khodre Kanj after he passed away in Madinah last Wednesday. Kanj had just completed his Umrah pilgrimage the day before, having his sins forgiven, and then departed to Madinah the following day. He prayed the Thuhr prayer in the front row of the Rawdah and spent a further two hours in the worship of Allah. However, as Maghrib approached, his health took a turn and he began to feel strong pains in his chest and back. He called for an ambulance as his family sat beside him supplicating for his safety. He began to recite the Shahadah, (the testimony of faith, i.e. There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger) until Allah ordained for his soul to be lifted. He passed away as the Athaan of Maghrib was being called. No doubt, this was an amazing death, that many of us will pray to Allah for on a regular basis. In fact to be buried in Madinah, (the Baqee) is one of the greatest honours, w...
