Aslaamu alaykum, I was just wondering, if you had the choice to live in either Mecca or Medina which one would you pick?

I wanna live in Medina all the dates hehe
 
hmm mecca is tempting, praying right infront of the kab'a every day and hearing the adhaan. But Medina also praying in the prophets masjid every day hmm
 
:sl:

If you read one of bro Mikayeels thread it states Mecca(which is the improper spelling) means house of wine,say Makkah.

I would live in Makkah because:
• Prophet was born there
•Islam started there
•The kaabah is there.
•And it is an lovely place overall.

But I wouldnt refuse an air ticket to Medinah if thats on your mind

:sl:
 
ok makkah then learn somethin new every day,
hmm good points for living in makkah ow well if I get to live in either I'd be happy.
 
:sl:

There's plenty of dates in Makkah too.

Hard choice to make really. I've always wanted to live in Madeenah though...
 
Maybe you could post a poll?

I haven't been to either. But, I think to live, I'd like to live in Medina. I imagine it to have an atmosphere of calmness and scholarly endeavours.

After I've been to both, InshAllah, I'll let you know.

makkah at first then retire and die in madinah
 
I would go for Madinah. I've been to Makkah and my friend lived in both a long time. Medina has more knowledge and it's protected by God, he said you can actually feel it. Its people are kinder.
 
:sl:

Madina.
I've been to both of them only once and that was during Hajj. And like people say I found Madina more calm and tranquil. In addition to that maybe two or three umrahs in a month. :thumbs_up:statisfie
 
Yes. Only problem is that as some say, especially for Asians and Arabs, it is very hard to get a residency and work permit there in Saudi. A cheeky friend said "It's easier to go to paradise than it is to go to Saudi!!"
 
lol yeah every 1 I speak to always tell me how lovely and hospitital the people are in Medina, it's actually known for it's hospitality and kind people now I think.
