Raudha

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh

1) When in Madinah, at the Roudha mubarak is it permissible to talk to Nabi ? Or make duaa to him directly. Or should the duaa be made to Allah Ta’ala only?
2) What is the best ibadah to do when on the green carpet at the Roudha mubarak?
3) Is the reward/virtues of sending salaam upon nabi the same if send around musjid-ul-nabawi or outside the musjid and not in the actual roudha mubarak?

Jazakallah

 

 

 

Answer

Assalaamu alaykum

1. It is permissible to address Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Dua is only made to Allah Ta'ala. However, one could request Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to intercede on one's behalf.

2. Salaah.

3. The virtues are not the same. When one has the opportunity, one should present oneself at the Raudha itself. However, if there is a valid reason for not being able to be present at the Raudha, eg. Large crowd, then as a substitute, one may say salaams from a distance with the intention that the angels will convey those salaams.

If a very important person comes to visit you, and there is no impediment from going to meet this person, then will it not be a form of disrespect if one stays behind and not go forward to greet such a person? Does it not show some lack of love of that person. Consider this in the same light. May our lives be sacrificed for Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we would love to spend every moment in closest proximity to him. This is the demand of love. May Allah Ta'ala grant us true love of Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the reality of which is following his Sunnah.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best

Was salaam
