Doctor Muhammad Ilyas'Abd al-Ghani has very efficiently undertaken the undertaking of introducing a concise record of the holy cities of Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah, monitoring their histories by the earliest days from the light of real narration and books. Both books have pictures that are numerous, and many maps. He explains in rather intricate detail the extensions as the time of the Prophet Muhammad (sws) to the large-scale structure activities in the recent years. Both novels aren't purely historical (because their titles could indicate ). The novels shed light on the facets of the two cities, with references to this Qur'an and Hadith literature. It's crucial for everyone to know the major activities that have their religious importance and sacredness of both Makkah and Madinah, together with immediate effect in the institution. 

The books provide an exceptional starting place inside this way, allowing people to grasp the incorporated photo of every metropolis. The novels give various years both in the hijra and also the Christian calendars. Both novels are translated to several languages like Urdu. Might Allah Almighty enhance His Grace up on the writer, author and subscribers of these novels; may Allah let us make journeys and also direct us to conduct ourselves in a manner which pleases Him, Amen. Following will be the outline of every publication. The fluctuations at this Ka' bah from the Quraysh's design are clarified in detail.

The most recent renovation contained strengthening the foundation, reconstruction of both 3 columns (inside the Ka'bah) with brand new wood, and reconstruction of their ceiling and roof. Anyway, the entranceway has been changed with all the lock. The Heritage of Madinah Munawwarah Chapter 3: Names of this Ka'bah and the Builders of Ka'bah The past chapter describes the many sites in and around Makkah, such as the cave of Hira, the house of Khadijah, and also the Ma'lā graveyard. And, of course mosques are clarified that include things like Masjid-i Jinn Masjid-i Bayyah, Masjid-i Shajarah,'' Masjid-i Rayah, and Masjid-i Fath. The chapter has a complete section on the treacherous plots to steal the entire bodies of the Holy Prophet (sws) and his partners during the fifth and sixth generations AH. Ofcourse they all failed. From the periods of ignorance, the Arabs worshipped the stones; but no one worshipped the Maqam-i Ibrahim or the Hajar-i Aswad even though the Arabs revered it. Madinah Munawwarah is the city where Allah's Messenger emigrated and he gave him refuge, adopted his preaching and encouraged his beliefs and its own individuals defended him by their lives, their riches and their sons before Allah made him victorious. 

Madinah possesses virtues which are understood and an influence that n one could dare. It's the city at which in fact the Holy Prophet (sws) made the very first mosque (Masjid-i Quba'). It contains the Prophet's mosque, at which a million multiplies every prayer's benefits. Masjid-i Nabawi hosts the holy chamber where by the Prophet (sws) and also the initial two caliphs are all buried. The Heritage of Makkah Mukarramah Madinah's town is interchangeable with all the Prophet's Mosque or Masjid-i Nabawi. This chapter focuses on the Masjid-i Nabawi. The basis of the Prophet's mosque was laid on piety. A thousand multiplies the benefit of offering only just one salah at the Prophet's mosque. Additionally, there are for doing teaching and learning tasks in the Masjid-i Nabawi virtues. There is a consensus among the scholars which the extensions of the unique mosque too have precisely the same merit of virtues. The several pieces of the authentic mosque (the holy backyard, the pulpit, the columns, the mihrab and also the suffah) are clarified with intricate detail. The area between the sacred chamber and also the pulpit is popularly called the Sacred backyard or Riyad al-Jannah. This area includes its own own virtues. The thing has segments on also the etiquette for seeing it along with the reverence for the Prophet's mosque. The chapter serves as an excellent manual for all those intending for a visit to the Prophet's mosque. This chapter begins with the titles of the Ka'bah as they look in the Qur'an. They are al-Ka'bah, Bayt al-Haram, Baytullah, al-Bayt al-Atiq along with Qiblah. The verses are given with a few remark. In verse 2:125, Allah Almighty handles the Ka'bah as"My household". The commentators have pointed to the grammatical first person"My House" in the above mentioned verse. Just as expected, an whole chapter of the book is devoted into the Ka'bah and discusses its own roots and span of reconstruction and construction, tracing the set of the custodians . The writer highlights that when floods came during the time of Noah, the House had been increased to the skies. They employed rocks from 5 mountains to boost the foundations. After that, all the rebuilding was achieved only on the pieces over the initial foundations set by Abraham (sws). The Maqam-i Ibrahim refers to the blessed rock that was brought by Ishmael (sws) because of his father Abraham (sws) to stand , though building the walls of their Ka'bah. The Maqam-i Ibrahim's virtue is that Allah has taught Muslims to perform the salah in the vicinity of it. Adhering to the Qur'anic injunction (2:125) one offers 2 R AK'ah of this salah supporting the Maqam-i Ibrahim after the tawaf. Through the centuries, the Maqam-i Ibrahim has been preserved within an sliver carton that was set in a enormous corridor. The hall occupied a lot of space from the mataf, and hence it had been demolished at the calendar year 1387 AH. The Maqam-i Ibrahim encased in a metal cage that was solid and was mended in crystal. The casing has been subsequently installed on the marble platform and also there has been a dome employed to cover it. Even the imprints of Abraham (sws) can be clearly seen in this manner. 

This convention is continued by the chapter, and there are amounts such as its dimensions of the dome, and also this Maqam-i Ibrahim from Your Hajar-i Aswad's distances, and parts of the Ka'bah. Mount Safa can be a hill from which a number of the rites of hajj and'umrah has been begun. It is located south-east of this Ka'bah in a distance of 130m and is now included in a domed roof. Marwah is another mountain situated about 300m from your Rukn-i Shami. The path linking the Safa and the Marwah is called masa'. It steps roughly 394.5m in length and 20m in width. Even the Safa and Marwah and its origin to Hajirah are clarified in detail along with the incidents at the time of their Holy Prophet (sws). The publication clarifies the renovations of the masa'. Now, it is entirely enclosed with a high ceiling provisions todo the sa'i over the two upper floors. The book begins with the merits of Madinah Munawwarah and the prayers which Prophet Muhammad (sws) made for this metropolis. The facet is presented from the literature: Madinah can be just a refuge from Mount Ayr into Mount Thawr. These 2 slopes make up the northern and southern boundaries of Madinah comparable to a space of 15 kilometres. This part gives information on the hills forming the boundaries in the other directions. That was an entire portion describing the merits of Madinah for example, the merit of expiring in Madinah; also therefore the Dajjal will be unable to to enter Madinah. If any person sets out to accomplish hajj or'umrah, he/she has to placed on the ihram in the boundaries that are approved. These boundaries are described by many place points. They cover all feasible directions where somebody could attain Makkah. For the people of Makkah their home is always to be medicated since miqat. This chapter gives a collection of the many miqat in conditions of the latitudes and longitudes. 

A few of those miqat have names that are added. The distances out of your miqat to the Ka'bah are presented in a table. Even the mosques at every miqat are clarified in some depth focusing into the historical aspects and also the architectural nuances like the size of minarets/domes and their existing capacities. That really is relevant for changing to ihram's two sheets, as the travellers utilize these mosque complexes. Even the miqat for its residents of Madinah is Dhū al-Hulayfah (about ten kilometers from Masjid-i Nabawi), that will be most likely the very famous (because of this large number of pilgrims visiting Madinah just before hajj). Even the mosque in this miqat is understood by many names including, Masjid Dhū al-Hulayfah, Masjid-i Miqat and as Masjid-i Shajarah. The Holy Prophet (sws) usedto perform salah at the location of Masjid-i Shajarah. Currently, there is a very sizable mosque complicated together with facilities for bathroom etc to get tens of thousands. In contrast to this common belief, the graves cannot be seen. The first chamber of'A%'ishah (rta) was produced from your branches of pal tree. 'Umar (rta) replaced these with brick partitions throughout his caliphate. These partitions were increased and also the room had been sealed and covered with a material. Back in 91 AH a five-star structure encompassed the four walled chamber that was original in order to steer clear of any possible resemblance to the Ka'bah. It can be that this structure that's known as the sacred chamber Nowadays. In 881 AH, the walls of the five cornered structure were found to function as cracking so they certainly were taken off for renovation. The partitions of both this inner part were opened and proved found to have fractures. This may be the time the room became open and observable. 

The book begins with the town of Makkah's place and the longitude Together with the Sealevel. There was really a segment describing its own virtues in the light of Hadith literature and the excellence of Makkah. The author describes the Truth of Abraham (sws) as well as the expression of the Holy Prophet (sws) during the time of hijra once the people of Makkah had pressured him to depart from the holy town. The author then explains the different names of their significance and Makkah. The Haram's various borders are described, which enclose a place of around 550 km2. The thing has a quick but quite informative coverage following the conquest of Makkah and into this stage before. Makkah Mukarramah's historical and religious significance can be judged from the fact that the Creator of the world, Allah Almighty has chosen to function as the sacred property, the Ka' bah's positioning. This blessed city was home into Ishmael (sws) along with his mum Hajirah. Pious servants of Allah have undertaken journeys to stop by the House of Allah. The town homes the Masjid-i Haram in the wages of one salah is multiplied by a hundred thousand. The Qiblah is currently. The town has got the privilege to be the birthplace of Muhammad (sws), the last rasul and direct of the worlds. It is at Makkah whose warm water is more blessed compared to waters of the world and better. It's this city that Allah has made to visit and fulfill the rites of hajj. Makkah has a extensive history and various spiritual places on it. About metres away from the Ka'bah and 7 metres apart from the Maqam-i Ibrahim is the earliest well and the celebrated source of plain water. This chapter is targeted on the properly of zamzam whose water would be the best of the oceans in the entire world. The well originated as an miracle for quench the desire of Ishmael (sws) when he was a baby and also that of his mother Hajirah. This chapter describes zamzam in detail together side the etiquette of ingesting its merits. There is policy on how the water generated from the springs in the properly, to this research. The water from Such springs prevailed from the management of both the Safa, this Hajar-i Aswad and also the Marwah . 

The well had dry out throughout the times of ignorance and its location had been misplaced. Ever since that time it was around routine use. Out of electrical pumps being used by it in 1373 AH water was drawn. Using extensions, the good thing is now under the mataf. A few km there's really just actually a tank with a power of 150 million litres. Water has been spread by tankers to regions including the Masjid-i Nabawi. The chapter provides a geographic picture (with maps and figures) of those 3 internet web sites at proximity. At an identical time, the thing has a considerable coverage of the internet sites with the ever-increasing centers being distributed around this pilgrims at these internet sites. For example, hills have been leveled to provide greater room tunnels are made to cut back the exact distance to Masjid-i Haram. Besides, the writer clarifies the extensions of this mosques at the three sites. Really a section was in the jamarat, where there used to be stampedes. This has been suppressed through springs by the crown management. Just really a comprehensive section is in the tarawih salah's foundation.

Interestingly, all along there have been twenty five R-AK'ah, followed by three different R AK'ah of witr (also in congregation) in either the Masjid-i Haram as well as also the Masjid-i Nabawi. The writer has clarified many of them with detail along with some events that were interesting. Each extension Caused the demolition of their hujurat of those Mothers of Believers as well as also the humble dwellings of those partners. Thus an entire chapter dedicated into these companions' houses as well as the hujurat is justified. This chapter is very informative around the life of this Prophet (sws), mothers of the believers and also numerous companions. That was really a section on the graveyard of baqi' and its own particular expansion as the earliest times.

Hatim may be the crescent shaped area adjoining for the Ka'bah. Some percentage (roughly three metres) of this Hatim definitely goes back to the Ka'bah, since it was divided by the Ka'bah at that time of the Quraysh. The Quraysh have been short of righteously earned funds. From the walls, an area of around three yards wouldn't be able to be included for this reason. With building the minimal wall named Hatim this area was demarcated by them. Even the Quraysh, in the time scale of ignorance, have been very special to use just the righteously earned income to build the cherished home of Allah. You can find complete sections describing the Hajar-i Aswad (black stone), also the Multazam (portion of this Ka'bah involving the Hajar-i Aswad along with also the doorway of Ka'bah); and also the Hatim.
