The Virtue of Prayer in Makkah and Madinah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
This person is asking about the virtue of prayer in the Noble Makkah and the Blessed Madinah. Are they equal in reward, virtue, and ranks? And what is the virtue of Makkah and Madinah? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for Makkah and Madinah, they have a virtue over other lands. Makkah is the Sacred Land, and Madinah is the abode of the Prophetic Migration. As for the virtue of prayer in the mosques of Makkah and Madinah, prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than prayer in the Mosque of Madinah. Prayer in the Sacred Mosque is worth one hundred thousand prayers in other mosques, and prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah is worth one thousand prayers in other mosques. The Sacred Mosque is better than the Prophet’s Mosque, and Makkah is better than Madinah according to the majority. Yes.
