Outside my frontdoor and My view walking home from my daughters school
When walking along the streets of Al Medina I can see the rich Islamic history all around with every masjid the beauty that echo’s from each sound of the athan piercing the soul. Islam comes alive in your heart. To lie under the same skies of Masjid Sunnah Nabawiyah, Masjid Quba, Masjid Qiblatan and to read about the battles fought at the foot of Mount Uhud while visiting the graves and send the salaams to those companions that fought side by side Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) and gave their lives for Islam is remarkable to say the least. My heart feels so good and my eyes sparkle like a child in the infamous candy store.Prophet Muhammad’s (SAWS) migration from Mecca to Medina was the beginning of monumental events that would change the lives of countless generations of Muslims and their families. The word of Islam would spread to regions around the world and draw the people to al Medina al Munawwarah meaning (The Radiant or Enlightened City) seeking the same peace and solace that was offered to Prophet Muhammad and his followers so many years ago. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Verily, Belief returns and goes back to Medina as a snake returns and goes back to its hole (when in danger)." Sahih Bukhari,Even today when we think of the women of Medina the names we hear are the same passed down for generations Khadijah, Aisha, and Fatima but the faces are so clearly reflective of Allah’s mercy and his greatness. I have had the opportunity and honor to get to know some of the women who now live in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It has been said that America is a “melting pot”. This may be so in some aspects but the melting pot of the women of Medina is an assemblage of cultures of people brought together by their love for Allah, Islam and all that it embodies.
Masjid across the street, the mountains are the background. My view from the backroom
