Great History Of Madinah City:

Yathrib was the original name of Madina City. There was a significantly large Jewish population in the city by the time the Prophet Mohammad ﷺ migrated. The Prophet had sent Mus'ab-bin-Umair (R.A) on a mission to spread Islam (Tableegh) to the inhabitants of Yathrib around one year before the migration.

He converted a large number of the Ansar to Islam. During the Prophet's ﷺ and early Muslims' migration, the city provided them with a safe refuge. After the migration, Hazrat Mohammad ﷺ renamed the city Madinah Munawarah, replacing Yathrib.

In this sacred city, Prophet Mohammad ﷺ built the first-ever mosques of Islam, one is Masjid Al Quba & the other is Masjid Al Nabawi. When the Prophet came back from a journey and looked at Madinah's walls. Due to His love for Madinah, He would increase his speed and galloping if He was on a horse. The Masjid Al Nabawi is among the most popular places of worship for Muslims, second after the Holy Kabah in Makkah. The Prophet Mohammad ﷺ chose Madinah as his most favorite city. He referred to this city as his home.

The City Of Our Beloved Prophet ﷺ:

Muslims believe the city to be forever and ever-blessed because Allah Almighty choose its ground as the resting place for the Spiritual leader and His Last Messenger ﷺ. Madinah is a trading city as well as a knowledge centre. What's more, it is also a Centre for scientific and Islamic education. Due to these distinctive features, it is a city where cultures engage and integrate. Where people understand, learn, and share knowledge with one another, gaining both historical and spiritual enlightenment as a result.

It's not really a Hajj or Umrah ritual to visit the Prophet's City. The primary reason is Madinah's one-of-a-kind merits and virtues. Every Muslim wishes to visit the Prophet's ﷺ Mosque and His holy tomb. There is no Ihram or Talbiyah required for visiting Masjid-E-Nabawi. To enjoy the beauty and peaceful environment of Madinah, all that is required is a heart and mind filled with love and respect for our Beloved Prophet.
