A Moment of Profound Reverence

 

A Moment of Profound Reverence

I Still cherish the memory of a moment I witnessed years ago in

Madina Munawwara which I'll never forget. Subhan Allah....it was 

truly an extraorinary and soul-stirring scene. I saw the sultan of 

Brunei in the Masjid-e-Rasool {ﷺ }Typically such dignitaries are

Allowed to stand before the Rawda-e-Rasool {ﷺ} offer their salaam

And then move on . Some raise their hands in prayer while others 

Quietly convey their respects. But do you know what the sultan did 

That day? Allah is my witness it was a beautiful display of adab 

{Respect}. He reached the blessed gates of the Rawda-e-Aqdus {ﷺ}...more

And...hugged them bursting into tears.A grown man. a .....more

King. One of the wealthiest people in the world.with no wants or

Needs. Yet he clugged to those gates weeping like an orphan who 

Finds his father alive. He continuously recited  Durood and Salaam 

Saying:Assalaatu Wassalaamu Alaika Ya Rasool Allah {ﷺ}He was 

Given the honor of being present befor the Prophet {ﷺ} and his

Display of Love and respect was Overwhelming.
