What are some virtues of Makkah and Madina?

Plz give Quranic ayat & ahadith to back up ur sayings?
@ sis Reem, jazakillah khair but what about Makkah?

Narrated Anas(radhiyallahu anhu): The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Madinah is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people." (Bukhari)

Narrated Anas(radhiyallahu anhu): The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) came to Madinah and ordered a masjid to be built and said, "O Bani Najjar! Suggest to me the price (of your land)." They said, "We do not want its price except from Allah" (i.e. they wished for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) ordered the graves of the pagans to be dug out and the land to be levelled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut date-palms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the (Grand) masjid. (Bukhari)

Narrated Abu Huraira(radhiyallahu anhu): The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "I have made Madinah a sanctuary between its two (Harrat) mountains." The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) went to the tribe of Bani Haritha and said (to them), "I see that you have gone out of the sanctuary," but looking around, he added, "No, you are inside the sanctuary." (Bukhari)

Narrated ‘Ali(radhiyallahu anhu): We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this written paper from the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) (where-in is written:) Madinah is a sanctuary from the ‘Air Mountain to such and such a place, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator in it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim is to be secured (respected) by all the other Muslims; and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted, and whoever (freed slave) befriends (take as masters) other than his manumitters without their permission incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. (Bukhari)

Narrated Abu Huraira(radhiyallahu anhu): Allah’s Apostle said, "I was ordered to migrate to a town which will swallow (conquer) other towns and is called Yathrib and that is Madinah, and it turns out (bad) persons as a furnace removes the impurities of iron." (Bukhari)

“Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (former name of Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for al-Alameen (the mankind and Jinns). In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqaam (place) of Ibraheem (Abraham); whosoever enters it, he attains security.”

Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his father (May Allah be pleased with them), Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said, O Allah! Grant me martyrdom in Your cause, and let my death be in the city of Your Apostle (peace be upon him)." (Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 30, Number 114).

While departing from Makkah, Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) halted on a plateau, faced the Qibla and said: "By Allah! You are the most beloved portion of Allah’s earth to me, and verily you are the most beloved portion of the earth to Allah too. Verily you are the best, spot on the face of the earth. And the most beloved to Allah. If your people did not expel me, I would not have departed from you." (Al-Muatta)

"There is no city on earth through which Allah multiplies one good deed by a hundred thousand except Makkah." (Sahih Bukhari , lbn Hibban)

"Whosoever offers a salat therein, then that salat is enhanced a hundred thousand fold over." (Sahih Muslim / Sunan Nisai)

"Whosoever gives one dirham therein in charity, Allah writes for him the reward of having spent a hundred thousand dirhams in charity." (Ibn Abi Zubair in the Jamul Latif from Sunan Tirmizi)

"It is not known of any other city from which Allah will, on the day of Qiyamah, resurrect as many Ambiya, Allah-fearing souls, pious people, truthful ones, martyrs, religious people, Ulama, jurists, sages, ascetics, devotees, pilgrims, chosen ones and mystics, both males and females as Makkah. Verily they will be resurrected in a state wherein they will be safe from Allah’s punishment." (Sahih Bukhari , Sahih Muslim)

Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) stated: "The best, purest, holiest and closest spot to Allah, is the place between the Marwah and the Maqam." (Sahih Bukhari , Sunan Ibn Majah)

Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) stated: "The space between the Ruknul Yamani and the Hajre Aswad is a garden from the gardens of Jannah." (Sahih Muslim, Sunan Tirmizi)

Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) stated: "A person who passed away while performing the hajj or Umrah will not be questioned (in the qabr) nor will any reckoning be taken from him (on the day of Qiyamah). He will be told: "Enter Jannah in peace with those who have attained salvation." (Bayhaqi)

Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) stated:"Anyone who observes the fasts of the month of Ramadan in Makkah, Allah records for him the reward of a hundred thousand months of fasting in any other city." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

"The salat offered in Musjid-ul-Haram is increased by a hundred thousand salaah. For verily one obtains one hundred and fifty million (150 000 000) rewards for a salaah offered therein." (Sahih Bukhari , Sahih Muslim)

"Anyone who falls ill in Makkah for one day, Allah renders his body and his flesh haram (forbidden) from the fire of Jahannam." (Sahih Bukhari)

Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) stated: "Anyone who falls ill in Makkah for one day, Allah records for that person the rewards of having done good deeds equivalent to sixty years worship in any other place." (Muatta)

"Anyone who endures the heat of Makkah with patience for an hour of the day, Allah will distance that person from the fire of Jahannam by a distance of a journey of five hundred years and bring him closer to Jannah by a distance of a journey of two hundred years. Indeed Makkah and Madinah eject any impurities within them like flames eject rust from iron. Understand carefully! Difficulties and calamities abounded in Makkah right from its inception. Great stages are realised by enduring these difficulties." (Sahih Muslim)

"Anyone who endures any difficulty experienced in Makkah (with patience), I will intercede and bear witness for him on the day of Qiyamat." (Sunan ibn Majah)

"The best valley on the face of this earth is the valley of lbrahim(alaihis salaam)." (Sahih Bukhari, Sunan Tirmizi)

a man says he loves you…can they change after umrah ?

he tells you that you are his ideal girl. he says he really hopes you both can be together in the future(married).

But his profile still reads single and straight after you reject him he was talking to and planning on meeting girls from over the internet.

he goes to perform umrah and comes back keeping in contact with you every week, asking how u r etc. and does not seem talk to the girls over the internet anymore.

I want to know if he really truly liked/loved the girl. And if he has changed since Performing Umrah.

any advice welcome. thanks :-) thanx Pakistani Chap. the thing is i told him i don’t want this kind of haram relationship and he said he understands. and has still stuck around.

he went to Umrah he shouldnt even be talking to you then, and as a muslim brother he shouldnt have spoken to u in the first place.
i wouldnt marry him or talk with him, seems like a hypocrite and seens as though ummrah was a wasted journay and wate of money especially as he still talks with girls including you, which isnt allowed.
beware or these part time muslim brothers/sisters.
you need to find a brotehr teh halal way, face tface, parents help and knowladge and in halal way. not Haram. a man shouldnt tell you he love you etc, it effects and changes and distorts you perception and effects your critical thinking as you should be doing when looking for a spouce. true love, and proper love is something taht occurs way after you get married. a its a love that grows between husband and wife. so to be honest i wouldnt believe the rubbish he is spouting… what else does he say to you.." iv never met a muslimah liek u before"… you are really special girl… flattery flattery flattery and soem women are suckers for it. and forget about teh real reason for marriage and real reason to pick this person. dont be one of these suckers.
