Dreaming of Medina - A Lover's 💖✨🤌🏻🥹 Silent Journey
Some scenes speak more to the heart than to the tongue. A person is peacefully asleep, but the awakening of their heart is evident in their imagination. In their thoughts resides the land that the faithful hold dearer than their own lives. This scene creates the motivation in the heart to clothe this state in words.
Madinah Munawwarah is the sacred settlement that Allah Almighty chose for the migration and stay of His beloved ﷺ. This is the city where faith found refuge, from where the rays of guidance spread throughout the world. The Qur'an describes the virtue of the Muhajirin and Ansar, and this is the land that gave space to these holy souls in its embrace.
Love for Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ is a part of faith. And in the hearts of those who love, the desire for Medina remains surging in the form of a natural yearning. Sometimes a person is physically resting on their bed, but their heart is awake in the desire to be present before the Roza-e-Aqdas (the Prophet's tomb). This state is not just a dream, but a sign of love.
Scholars say that true love is that which motivates a person to follow the Sunnah. If the desire for Medina is in the heart, then its requirement is that a person adopts the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ in their character, speech, and dealings. Mere imagination is not enough, but action is the true proof of this love.
This silent journey is actually a journey of the heart. When the eye closes, the hustle and bustle of the world is left behind, and the heart turns towards its beloved. This moment should be valued, because this is the hour when a person can pray in the presence of their Lord that O Allah! Grant us also the opportunity to visit this holy city and honor us with the intercession of Your beloved ﷺ.
In conclusion, dreaming of Medina is a testimony of the heart of a lover of the Prophet ﷺ. But the path to making this desire a reality passes through following, obedience, and sincerity. May Allah Almighty grant us true love and the ability to fulfill its requirements.
🌸 And Allah knows best 🌸
