Best Tips For Women For Praying At Riyadul Jannah

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) stated:

“Between my house and my pulpit lays a garden from the garden of Paradise, and my pulpit is upon my fountain.”  (Bukhari)

According to the above Hadith, there is a place in Masjid Nabvi which is the paradise on earth and this place is called Riyadhul Jannah. Every Muslim wants to offer two rakats at the green carpet in this portion of Masjid Nabvi because offering one rakat in Rawdah is equal to 1,000 times offering prayers. The women section of Rawdah is a little different from the Rawdah of men section.

Millions of Muslims from all over the world visit the Masjid e Nabvi during Hajj and Umrah. They have only one purpose after performing Umrah’s rituals and Hajj’s rituals, visiting the Holy Prophet’s Mosque. Umrah can be performed at any time of year whereas Hajj can only be performed at specific 5 days of last Islamic month.

The expenses of every journey are increasing continually, therefore, it is a little bit hard for everyone today. This problem can be solved easily by the travel agency. If Muslims of the UK wants to perform Umrah this year then they should get Umrah Packages All Inclusive 2022 from any travel agency which is proved helpful for them.

The Rawdah al Jannah is only opened for a short time for women.

The schedule of Rawdah al Jannah for ladies:

1: Start from Fajr Salah till 10 am

2: Start from Duhr Salah till a very short time

3: After Isha Salah till the midnight (12 am)

Personal opinions for the best time to visit Rawdah al Jannah is Fajr because at that time it opens for the longest period.

At the time of closed doors, women should try to calm themselves by reminding the hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) in which He (PBUH) said:

 ”Hell has been veiled with desires, and Paradise has been veiled with hardships.”

Women should recite the Darood Sharif at this time because it is better for them. Often it is seen that when the doors of Rawdah Rasool are opened, women forget at that time that where are they. Most of them pick up their Abayas and run towards the opened door. Women should walk at a normal speed.

A Hadith in which Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) stated:

“Allah has angels who travel about the earth, conveying to me the salaams of my ummah.”

(Sunah al-Nassai)

Abu Hurairah reported that Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) stated:

“There is no one who sends salaams upon me, but Allah will restore to me my soul so that I may return his salaams.”  (Sunan Abi Dawood)

Women can only enter to Rawdah Rasool from Gate 25 of Masjid Nabvi. If a woman is performing Umrah with her family then she should get 5 Star Umrah Packages from the travel agency which is better for her.

Hotel Suggestions in Masjid Nabvi:

1-  Darul Taqwa hotel and Oberoi Madina hotel:

Why Umrah Is So Important In Islam

Umrah is a sacred traveling for Muslims towards the Makkah. Literally, it means to visit the place which is densely populated. Umrah can be performed at any time of year except for “5” days of Hajj which comes in the last month of Islamic Lunar Calendar. These days are started from the 8th day and ended on the 12th day of Last month (Dahul Hijjah).

A lot of Muslims consider the Umrah is a “Minor Pilgrimage” while Hajj is a “Major Pilgrimage”. So Umrah is not important and essential for all Muslims as the Hajj because Hajj is one of five pillars of Islam.

What happens in the Umrah?

According to Islamic traditions, the Umrah is that Tawaf around the Kaaba as well as Sai between the 2 mountains that lay in the Al-Haram Mosque in the city of Makkah. These two mountains names are Al-Safa and Al-Marwah. These steps also contain in Hajj. After these steps, men have to perform a Halq, where they have to shave their head completely, and woman have to perform a Taqsir, where they have to cut their hairs only for one inch.

2: Sexual activities are prohibited in the state of Ihram.

3: Women must uncover their faces and hands.

4: Use of any scents on the body or on the clothes are prohibited in the state of Ihram.

Why is Umrah so important?

In Islam, the Umrah is 2nd holy journey after the Hajj.  Umrah removes the sins of those who perform it with full intentions. If anyone performs Umrah in Ramadan then he/she can get a great reward which is equal to the reward of Hajj. Umrah removes poverty. You make yourself a guest of Allah when you perform the Umrah’s parts as Tawaf and Sai.

Remove the Poverty_ Hazrat Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“Perform Hajj & Umrah consecutively; for they remove poverty & sin as bellows removes impurity from iron.”

Remove the Sin_ Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“From 1 Umrah to another is the expiation for what comes in between and Hajj Al-Mabrur brings no reward less than Heaven.”

Equivalent to Jihad for some Muslims_ Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) stated:

“Jihad of elderly, the young, the weak & the women, is Hajj & Umrah”

Every Muslim should perform the Umrah at least one time of life because it is a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Essential Parts Of Hajj:

Tawaf:

When the pilgrims arrive in Al-Haram Mosque then they perform Tawaf and Tawaf means walking seven-times around the Kaaba.

Sai:

Pilgrims run between the hills of Safa and Marwa and run means fast walking. This was an act of Hazrat Hajrah (RA) who was the mother of Hazrat Ismail (AS).

Mina:

Pilgrims go to the tent city of Mina on the 1st day of Hajj. Pilgrims stay here and leave this place until the sunrise of the 2nd day of Hajj. They go to Arafat.

Arafat:

When the pilgrims reach the place of Arafat then they spend this day by praying and repenting.

Muzdalifah:

After the Arafat, pilgrims go to the open land of Muzdalifah, southeast of Mina. Pilgrims offer the Maghrib and Isha prayers here. It is the best place to collect stones for Ramy al-jamarat.

Ramy al-Jamarat:

At this place, pilgrims throw the stones towards Jamarat. There are three walls in the city of Mina and stoning marks the 3rd day of Hajj (Eid-al-Adha).

Eid al-Adha:

Eid al-Adha is a Feast of Sacrifice festival. On this festival, Muslims slaughter the animals (Buffalo, Cow, Ox, Goat, Sheep, and Camel). It is a very essential part of Eid al-Adha but it is not essential for those who are not able to perform it. This is a Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

What We Learn From Hajj?

Hajj is great worship in which a great number of Muslims gathered in the city of Makkah in the Month of Dahul Hijja. Hajj is one of five pillars of Islam and it is obligatory for every Muslim who can able to perform it. There are many things which we can get from performing Hajj.

Hajj is a great example of Unity and Brotherhood:

2 Millions of Muslims from all over the world gather at one point during the Hajj. For some days, Muslims live together under one roof (Kaaba) and therefore Hajj is a perfect example of Unity of Brotherhood. Hajj gives us a very important lesson of life that is, people in the world from different religions, races, casts, and nations can live together as in one unity on Earth peacefully, without hurting each other.

Hajj fortifies unity among Muslims:

 Muslims from all over the world gather in Makkah and Madina to perform Hajj. During the Hajj, All Hajjis who belong to different countries, races, colors, and nations live together, pray together and eat together and in this way differences between the Hajjis finish. Ihram is a simple white dress and it finishes the difference between rich and poor, black and white. There is no one superior during the holy journey of Hajj because all Muslims are treated in the same way.

Hajj teaches us that easiness always comes after difficulty:

A great example of tolerance realized when we run between the hills of Safa and Marwa. When Allah ordered his Prophet Ibrahim that you left your wife (Hajira) and child (Ismail) in the desert of Makkah. Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) do same as the Allah ordered to him. 

When Hazrat Hajira (RA) was running between the hills of Safa and Marwa in search of water because her child felt thirst. Allah rewarded her a fountain of water (Zamzam well) because she showed patience. In light of this event, we know that easiness always comes after difficulty.

Hajj teaches us to stand against evil:

When a Hajji wears the Ihram then he stops himself from all things that are not allowable in the religion. The process of Ihram makes the Muslim hard against greed and evil. A great example here that relates the event of Hajj. When the devil tried to mislead the Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) form Allah’s order. The Prophet of Allah thrown the stones on him. These feelings experienced when Hajji throws the stones at the place of Jamarat during the Hajj.

Hajj teaches us to sacrifice for others:

The ritual of slaughtering animals gets back to the time when a father slaughters his son in the way of Allah.This event happened when Allah ordered that Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) to slaughter his son.  When Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) started to slaughter his son (Ismail), at this moment Allah sent a lamb to the slaughter, Allah accepted the sacrifice of his Prophet.

This ritual of slaughtering teaches us that if we sacrifice for others, it will bring only good to us. Sacrificing (Qurbani) for others is a good deed in every religion and whenever a company provides Cheap Hajj Packages then it gives priority on sacrifice greatly as it is a necessary part of Hajj.
