History

This plaque in the Rauda-i Mutahhara contains the following hadith of the Messenger of Allah: "My intercession is for the great sinners of my community." (شَفَاعَتِى لِاَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي) This hadith is one of the most concise expressions of the concept of intercession in Islamic belief. This statement, which announces that the intercession of the Prophet will reach not only those who have committed minor sins but also those who have committed major sins, opens a great door of hope for the community. According to the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah, intercession is the Prophet's plea to Allah for sinful believers on the Day of Judgment, and it serves as a means for their forgiveness. The expression of intercession for major sinners reflects the vastness of Allah's mercy and the deep compassion the Prophet has for his community. The fact that this hadith is inscribed on a plaque in a sacred place like the Prophet's Mosque prepares the ground for visitors to repent from their sins and renew their hopes.
