Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it called al-Madinah al-Munawwarah or al-Madinah al-Nabawiyyah? And what is the difference between them?
Answer:
Al-Munawwarah has not been mentioned. Al-Madinah al-Nabawiyyah is named after the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and that is sufficient for it to be honored. Al-Madinah al-Nabawiyyah, or the City of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or the City of Migration, is more honorable for it than al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. Yes.
