In the Presence of the Beloved: Two Treatises on the Merits and Etiquettes of Visiting the Prophet ﷺ

A Sacred Journey to the Heart of Islam

In the Presence of the Beloved is a timeless treasure for every Muslim seeking to deepen their spiritual connection with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This beautifully translated volume brings together two classical treatises that offer deep insights into the spiritual, legal, and ethical dimensions of visiting the Prophet's blessed resting place in Madinah al-Munawwarah.

Authored by two towering scholars of Islamic history, this work explores the virtues of ziyārah (visiting the Prophet ﷺ), with detailed guidance on its etiquettes (ādāb), permissibility, and its transformative impact on the believer’s soul. The book also sheds light on important yet often misunderstood concepts such as tawassul (seeking intercession), tabarruk (seeking blessings), and the unparalleled spiritual status of the Rawḍah, Masjid al-Nabawi, and other sacred sites in Madinah.

Why This Book Is a Must-Have

• Rich Classical Scholarship: Authored by Imām Aḥmad al-Qasṭallānī (a 16th-century master of hadith and Qur’anic recitation) and Shaykh ʿAbd-Allāh Sirāj al-Dīn (a Syrian scholar with over 80,000 hadiths memorised), this book represents centuries of authentic Islamic tradition.
• Guidance for Ziyārah: Learn the proper etiquettes, manners, and spiritual mindset necessary for visiting the Prophet ﷺ, whether you are preparing for the blessed journey or yearning from afar.
• Spiritual Enrichment: Deepen your love for the Prophet ﷺ, understand his unique rank in creation, and explore the immense rewards of visiting his city.
