Abstract
It was sometime in December 1977 that my father took us for the first time for a visit to the city of the Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم . I vividly remember the instructions that he gave us on the way; we were going to the tomb of God’s most beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and therefore had to show the requisite propriety and honour due to him. All the bedtime stories that my father had told us revolved around the prophets of Allah, particularly Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and as a result, all his marks of greatness and distinction that a five year old could possibly retain in his head were in my head as well. We were also instructed on how to pay our salutations to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم .We were to face the grill of the blessed tomb, say the salām chanting the known formulae which we had already been taught and finally raise our hands and say, ‚O Prophet! please pray to Allah that He may grant me faith, wisdom, knowledge
