Sultan Nur al-Din Zangi the Defender of Islam

Post Managed by: Sauda Haniya, Nobleton, Canada.

This is the resting place of the defender of Islam Sultan Nur al-Din Zangi. Whilst he was in Syria, he saw the Prophet ﷺ in his dreams, who showed him two men. Rasūlallāh ﷺ instructed the Sultan to protect him from their harm. The sultan then saw the exact same dream the second night and the third night until he decided to travel to Madinah.

He summoned the inhabitants of Madinah but he was told that two ‘righteous men’ were missing. They spent their days and nights in worship and charity. The Sultan entered their home and saw that it was the exact men he had seen and had dug a hole which led to the resting place of Rasūlullāh ﷺ. They admitted to Sultan Nur al-Din that they were spies that wished to steal the body of the Prophet ﷺ so he executed them and fortified the noble resting place with iron walls so that it is safeguarded until the last day. He was also the great leader who defended the lasts of Islam against the crusaders.

As for Rasūlullāh ﷺ – He is alive, illuminated and fresh in his blessed resting place and he is well-aware of the affairs of his nation. He seeks forgiveness for those who believe in him. Allāh has prohibited the pure bodies of the Prophets to be consumed by the earth. We pray that you have a blessed day of Jummah.
