Visiting the Prophet ﷺ : Its Virtues, Etiquettes & Stories from the Salaf

Shaykh ‘Abdullah Sirajuddin al-Husayni

 

The Virtues of Medina & Masjid Al-Nabawi

Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabahani

 

The first part of this volume, Visiting the Prophetﷺ, was excerpted from Manasik al-Hajj (The Rites of Hajj) by the gnostic and lover of the Prophet s.a.w., Shaykh Abdullah Sirajuddin. The second part of this volume, The Virtues of Medina Munawarra & Masjid al-Nabawi s.a.w., comprises 40 Hadith compiled by one of the last judges of the Ottoman Empire and the erudite scholar, Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabahani (may Allah be well-pleased with both of our authors!). It is an excerpt from his book 40 Forty-Hadith Collections, which covers a broad-range of important topics, this being the translation of the 24th collection. And last but not least, a Commentary on the Blessed Names of Medina Munawara has been presented as an appendix, because as the Arab adage has it: ‘the multitude of names for a thing indicates its importance’, and nothing is more dear to the heart of a Muslim than Medina.

 

The intention behind placing Shaykh Abdullah Sirajuddin’s book Visiting the Prophet (Ziyarat al-Mustafa s.a.w.) before The Virtues of Medina Munawarra was to focus the heart of the reader onto the greatest priority, and ultimate objective of his trip to Medina Munawwara: the Prophetﷺ himself.
