Published by Al-Qalam.

Description :

'Dawn in Madinah - A Pilgrims Passage' is a vivid account of a month-long retreat in the Prophet's, ﷺ, Mosque in Madinah. The luminous details of this sojourn in Islam's second-most sacred Mosque are superimposed upon the historical events that shaped the life of the early Muslim community during its formative period.

Numerous episodes from the life of the Prophet, ﷺ, form an ever-present backdrop to this narrative which moves across time to weave together the desires, hopes, fears, and spiritual struggles of many pilgrims present during the month of Ramadan in the Mosque, fourteen hundred and eighteen years after it was built by Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ, and his Companions soon after their arrival in Madinah. This juxtaposition of contemporary lives with those lived fourteen centuries ago creates a tapestry in which one can find common threads of a journey toward God.
