Maryam Amir – To Madinah

Alhamdulillah, had the honor of being in Medina for less than 24

hours a couple of weeks ago. And I want to share with you the

journey, because so many people wonder about getting there. This

is from the train station in Jeddah, going to Medina. It's

about a two hour ride, and prices vary, but you can get tickets for

around $35 going through the desert where the Hijra was made. I

kept thinking about how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi was sent

them, Abu Bakr Al yalahari and the companions of the Allahu Akbar

left everything behind so that they could go from Mecca to

Medina. And I kept thinking about how we can make Hijrah when we

leave everything behind that's not beloved to Allah anywhere we are

in the world. We took a bus from the train station to Mashad and

Nabawi. We arrived after salatul Jabbar. So you can see 1000s upon

1000s of people leaving mashira, Nabawi And subhanAllah, how the

Prophet, sallAllahu, alayhi wa salinam called every single person

his people to Allah. And now from all over the world, people answer.

People have answered and left everything behind to go and

worship Allah and the masjid of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam, to send Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam. And of course, you can send Salawat to the Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from anywhere you are. So Allah Nabi Na

wa Habibi na Muhammad, I kept thinking about how accessible the

Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam was to every single person, the

compassion, the Mercy, the love O Allah take us there.
