1. After performing hajj or umrah, ensure that you proceed to Madinah Munawwarah and visit the Raudhah Mubaarak. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned in the Hadith, “The one who performs hajj and does not come to visit me has indeed shown ill-conduct and disrespect towards me.” 

2. When visiting the Raudhah Mubaarak, keep in mind the following Hadith,

عن ابن عمر، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من زار قبري وجبت له شفاعتي (شعب الإيمان، الرقم: 3862)

Hazrat ibnu Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever visits my qabr (grave), my intercession becomes binding for him.”

3. Perform ghusl, wear your best clothing and apply itr before going to make salaam at the Raudhah Mubaarak.

4. Some of our pious Ulama encourage reciting Surah Kausar 1000 times and conveying the reward to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) before entering Madinah Munawwarah.

5. Give sadaqah before going to the Raudhah Mubaarak.

6. After entering Musjid Nabawi, perform two rakaats Tahiyyatul Musjid, make istighfaar and dua, and thereafter proceed to confer salaam upon our Master, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). It is better to read a short salaam that you understand than to read a salaam that you do not understand from a book or card, etc.

7. Recite once

اِنَّ اللّٰه وَ مَلٰٓئِکَتَه یُصَلُّوۡنَ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ ؕ یٰۤاَیُّها الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا صَلُّوۡا عَلَیۡه وَسَلِّمُوۡا تَسۡلِیۡمًا

then read seventy times:

اَلصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُوْلَ الله

Thereafter, seek intercession in these words:

 يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ أَسْأَلُكَ الشَّفَاعَةَ وَأَتَوَسَّلُ بِكَ إِلٰى اللهِ فِيْ أَنْ أَمُوْتَ مُسْلِمًا عَلٰى مِلَّتِكَ وَسُنَّتِكَ

O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! I beg you to intercede for me (on the Day of Qiyaamah), and I ask Allah Ta’ala, through your waseela (medium), to bless me to pass away as a Muslim and upon your Deen and sunnah.

8. Thereafter, convey the salaam of anyone who requested you to do so in these words:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ مِنْ جَمِيْعِ مَنْ أَوْصَانِيْ بِالسَّلَامِ عَلَيْكَ

Salaam upon you, O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), from all those who have requested me to convey salaam.
