The Clear Evidence

Medina holds a huge number of merits. Allah and the Prophet have accorded Medina an exalted place in their eyes. We should remember, that it is the city where the Prophet (PBUH) migrated to, lived in and rests there even today. Islam flourished here and reached to the far off corners of the world. Medina is also called ‘Taiba’ and ‘Taba’ which translates as ‘the pure place’. The reward for all the acts of worship increases to manifold in Medina. Let’s see how the Prophet himself praised the city:

1. Ayesha (RA) narrated that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, ‘O Allah, make us love Medina more than we love Makkah.’ (Sahih Bukhari)
2. Anas (RA) narrated that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, ‘O Allah! Bestow on Medina twice the blessings You bestowed on Makkah.’ (Sahin Bukhari)
3. Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) narrated that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, ‘If a person patiently bears the trouble he has (during his stay in Medina), I will intercede for him on the Day of Judgment”, or said, ‘I will bear witness for him.” (Sahih Muslim)
4. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, “If a person from my people remains patient while facing the hunger and harshness in Medina and on the troubles there, I will intercede for him on the Day of Judgment.” (Sahih Bukhari)
5. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, “There are angels guarding the roads of Medina; neither plague nor Dajjal will be able to enter it.” (Sahih Bukhari)

7. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “Belief (Iman) will return to Medina (near the Last Day) as a snake returns to its hole.” (Sahih Bukhari)
