BEFORE ENTERING MADINAH
While travelling to Medina, one should read Scalawag and make as much Du’aa’ as possible.
One should take care that one does not neglect any Sunnah or even Mustahab act. Even though such actions are
understood to be of comparative insignificance whilst on travels, they should be adopted with added zeal, as one is going
to the place where the one who loved these actions, for himself and for his followers, rests (P.B.U.H.).
One should be full of zeal and enthusiasm. If this is not the case then one should read of the sacrifices of the Prophet
(P.B.U.H.) for his Umrah and for the things that have been promised to us if we love and follow him. One should also
increase the salutations that one sends upon him to try and achieve this effect.
IN MADINAH
Upon entry into the blessed city of Medina, one should quickly attend to necessary arrangements, get freshened up
(perform Ghusl) and try to reach the Masjid without delay.
