When you walk between Safa and Marwah, remember what that path once held.

Hajar (AS) was searching for water for her infant son.

She was alone.
No one coming to help.
And no way of knowing where relief would come from.

Yet she trusted Allah.

She climbed Safa, she looked.
Then she ran to Marwah.

Seven times.

She did what she could, while her heart remained with Allah.

And then came Zamzam.

Not just a little water to get them through the moment.

A well that would flow for generations.

Today, millions of Muslims drink from that same Zamzam.

And we walk her exact path in worship.

There is something deeply comforting in that.

Sometimes you make dua for something and nothing seems to change.

You try.
You wait.
You keep hoping.

And perhaps you begin to wonder whether Allah has heard you at all.

But Hajar’s story reminds us:

Your effort is not wasted.
Your dua is not unheard.
And your patience is not unappreciated.

You may only be asking Allah for enough to get through today.

But Allah’s reward is greater than what you imagined asking for.

So place your trust in Him.

Take the step you can take.
Make dua.
And leave the outcome to Allah.

You do not need to know where the water will come from.

You only need to know Who can bring it.

May Allah fill our hearts with the tawakkul of Hajar (AS), give relief to those who are waiting for it, and bring sweetness after every hardship. Ameen. 🤍

October half term gives us a brief pause from the pace of everyday life.

Perhaps this year, that pause could become something more meaningful.

A few days in the presence of the Ka’bah.

Prayers in Masjid al-Haram.

Time in Madinah.

And moments with family that remain with us long after the half term is over.

This October, join us on a umrah trip, under the guidance of Sheikh Abul Barakat Mishkat Hasan.

May Allah invite us and make the journey easy. Ameen.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Perform Hajj and Umrah one after another, for they remove poverty and sins just as a furnace removes impurities from iron, gold and silver...”
— Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi 810

Hajj and Umrah are not only acts of worship that bring us closer to Allah.

They are also a means of Rizq.

So if Allah gives you the opportunity to make Hajj or Umrah, don’t only see it as a journey you are spending money on.

See it as an act of worship through which Allah may open doors of Rizq,
remove hardship,
and bless what you have.

And remember, performing Hajj and Umrah are themselves a Rizq.

Think about how many people never make it to the House of Allah despite their wealth.

And how some are blessed to make the journey every other year.

Being the Guest of Ar-Rahman is an honor one receives only through His invitation,

Not by their wealth.

So ask Allah sincerely for His favors.

May Allah honor us and invite us all to His Blessed House.

There is something about Madinah that stays with you.

The quiet of its streets.

The places where the Seerah unfolded, and the footsteps of those who came before us still feel close.

You leave Madinah…

but somehow, a part of your heart remains behind.

And soon, by the permission of Allah, we return.

Our September Umrah journey is approaching, and we cannot wait to experience Madinah once again with our pilgrims.

A journey through the city of the Prophet ﷺ.

A chance to pray, reflect, learn, and walk through places that carry so much of our history.

Walking around Masjid an-Nabawi you will find the names of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ woven into the streets around it.

They were the men and women who gave up their homes, wealth and, for many, ultimately their lives for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.

The Muhajirun — those who left Makkah for the sake of their faith.

The Ansar — the people of Madinah who opened their homes, their wealth and their lives to them.

The Islam we practise today reached us through generations of sacrifice.

These names weren’t placed here by chance or as mere decoration.

They were precisely designated by official municipal and planning authorities following historical mapping of early Madinah:

📍 Grounded in Real History: Streets and blocks are deliberately named after companions who actually

lived,
built homes,
or owned land,

in those exact neighborhoods during the prophetic era.

Alhamdulillah, every corner you turn is an intentional, living map of the footsteps that built the foundations of our history.

In the 6th year of the migration (hijrah) Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and roughly 1,400 Muslims set out from Madinah toward Makkah.

Intending only to perform Umrah.

When the Quraysh heard of their approach, they block them and threatened armed conflict if the Muslims tried to force their way in.

The Prophet ﷺ camped at Hudaybiyyah (on the outskirts of Makkah) and sought to negotiate.

Uthman ibn Affan (RA) was nominated.

He was sent into Makkah because Uthman (RA) belonged to a powerful clan (Banu Umayyah) and had strong familial protection there. 

Uthman (RA) delivered the Prophet’s message that the Muslims had only come to visit the Sacred House peacefully.

The Quraysh didn’t bend.

But the Quraysh leaders told Uthman (RA) that he could perform the Tawaf of the Kaa’ba if he wished to do so himself. 

Uthman (RA) declined, declaring that he would never perform Tawaf while the Prophet ﷺ and his fellow believers were blocked from doing so. 

Soon after, rumours spread that Uthman (RA) had been killed.

The Muslims pledged allegiance to the Prophet ﷺ, ready to stand together.

Then the situation changed when it was assured that Uthman (RA) was alive. And negotiations led to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

To many of the companions, its terms felt difficult.

However,

Allah SWT called it “Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph”
(Surah Al-Fath 48:1)

And from that treaty came opportunities that would eventually lead to the peaceful conquest of Makkah.

If you have ever travelled to Madinah for Umrah or Hajj, you have probably heard this nasheed.

It is often described as the song the people of Madinah sang to welcome the Prophet ﷺ when he arrived after the Hijrah.

It has been passed down for generations.

It is beautiful.

It is deeply familiar.

But the reality is not as certain as the story we often hear.

🌍The Geographical Inaccuracy:

The nasheed begins:

“The full moon has risen upon us from the valley of Wada‘.”

But the valley of al-Wada‘ lies to the north of Madinah, towards the direction of Syria.

The Prophet ﷺ was travelling from Makkah, which lies to the south.

Ibn al-Qayyim pointed out this geographical inaccuracy in his discussion on this.

✍️The Wrong Name:

The lyrics continues:

“You have come and honoured Al-Madinah.”

At the time, the city was known as and called by the locals as Yathrib.

Later, the Prophet ﷺ renamed to it as Al-Madinah.

⛓️‍💥Weak Narration :

It is attributed through a later narrator, with a significant gap between him and the actual event.

Because there is no connected chain reaching back to the Companions who witnessed the Prophet ﷺ arriving in Madinah, the report cannot be established as authentic.

Shaykh Al Albani graded the narration of this specific incident as weak.

So while the nasheed remains beloved across the Muslim world because of it’s beautiful and respectful poetry towards the Prophet ﷺ,

We should be careful about presenting the story as the Seerah.

The Seerah is too precious for us to fill its gaps with stories simply because they have become familiar.

Sometimes, loving the Prophet ﷺ also means being careful about what we attribute to him.
