About The Book

In the Presence of the Belovedis a translation of two authoritative treatises on the act ofziyārah, namely, visiting the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace). Both texts meticulously examine the legal status, manifold virtues and etiquettes of this blessed visit.

They also address issues, some of which have become controversial in contemporary Islamic discourse, such as the permissibility oftawassul(supplicating Allah through the Prophet), the practice oftabarruk(seeking blessings from his relics), the distinctive merits of theRawḍahand Medina and the significance of visiting other revered historical sites within the Prophet’s city.
