assalaam alaikum audience, friends, family, contestants.... looks like we're getting closer and closer to the wire... we've had 5 questions so far... looks like a few people have walked away... what a shame...they won't be mu'min but it looks like we have some still in the race!!! Question 5's answer was Ar-Rawdatul Jannah.  This is a dunya dimension picture of a garden from the gardens of Paradise. It is located in Masjid an-Nabi - the Masjid of the Prophet [saw] in Madinah. If you only wrote Masjid an-Nabi you only received 1/2 credit. Destined's answer is most beautiful:[color=purple] The Prophet saws used to give his kutbahs outdoors, he would lean on a tree while doing this.  One day the his companions thought to themselves that the Prophet saws looked uncomfortable always leaning on that same tree in the same position.  So they built a Mimbar for him.  It's just something for him to stand on while he gave his kutbah, it's tall with about 3 or 4 steps.  After the Mimbar was built for the Prophet saws people swore that they heard the tree weeping loudly, it was literally crying, subhan'Allah :) Currently, that same Mimbar is pretty close to the Prophet's saws grave.  His grave at one time used to be his house but after his companions Umar Ibn Khattab (R) & Abu Bakr (R) passed away they were buried there right next to him, so his house turned into a permanent grave site so to speak.  Hadrath Aisha RA no longer went in there because there was a non-mahram (Umar RU) barried there.  The Prophet saws said "from his mimbar to his house is a rawdah or garden from the gardens of paradise." If you get a chance to go to Madinah, try to pray at this spot for it has innumerous blessings :)

If you look carefully at the picture, you can just about see our Prophet's <http://www.jannah.org/board/Images/saw.gif> grave to the far left behind the pillar in the foreground and to the right is the mimbar. Brings back a few memories huh Br Abdul Basir ! So we've reached the half way point now have we? I can only imagine the next few questions are going to need one month's research and not merely one week's !!! 25:70 Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for God will change the evil of such persons into good, and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, 25:71 And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to God with an (acceptable) conversion [color=purple] Asim Question 5 Date posted: 05/19/01 at 16:02:36 Assalaamu alaikum, There are definite benefits to being a jannah.org addict <http://www.jannah.org/board/Images/smiley.gif> This picture is on this page: http://www.jannah.org/hajj/diary/umrahdiary10.html The picture shows the Rawdah, the garden from the gardens of Paradise, the path from the mimbar of the Prophet's mosque to the his house in Madina. Wasalaam. [color=green] Arshad question #5 answer Date posted: 05/19/01 at 10:21:36 Assalamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh That would be the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. Wasalaam, Arshad [color=purple] Barr Madina Geek Assalamu'alaikum... Ok... inshaALlah... here's the answer. The area of Ar-Raudhah in Masjid Nabawi, male section. Erm.. hope that's specific enough? inshaALlah? <http://www.jannah.org/board/Images/sister.gif> "... Say: I believe in Allah, then remain steadfast" Qul amantu billah, thumas taqeem ~Muhammad ibn Abdullah (s.a.w) [color=green] Eqbal Madina Newbie Q5 Date posted: 05/18/01 at 20:11:55 <http://www.jannah.org/board/Images/salam.gif> , The picture is from inside the Prophet's (saaw) mosque. This particular area is the actual area where the Prophet walked and is called Riaz-ul-jannah (garden of jannah). It's been made distinct for the convenience of the pilgrims by the color of the carpeting (which is red in other parts of the mosque) and the desinging of the pillars as well. 49:6 O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.

Be specific! It is a special part of Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque in Madina al-Munawwarah, Peace Be Upon Him ) called "Rawdah." The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him ) said that from his mimbar (pulpit) to his house is a 'rawdah' (or garden from the gardens of paradise).  *This* is the area between his mimbar and his house!  Today, if you were to visit the Mosque (may Allah give us all the chance to do so) you can tell where the rawdah is by the change in carpet from the usual red oriental ones to this white flowered carpeted area (as visible in the picture) that goes from his grave to the mimbar.

May Allah accept this effort and if anything in this humble effort is successful and of any benefit, then, to quote Malik El-Shabazz, "all the credit is due to Allah, and only the mistakes have been mine."
