Meet Mimi, the cat from Madinah π± We found her as a tiny kitten on the streets of Madinah β completely blind and alone. We couldn't leave her out there, so we adopted her. She's been part of our life in Madinah ever since. Madinah has one of the largest stray cat populations in Saudi Arabia. You'll find them everywhere β outside Masjid an-Nabawi gates, around hotel entrances, near restaurants, and in almost every alleyway of the old city. Most pilgrims walk past them daily without realizing that feeding these animals is a rewarded act of charity in Islam. ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π HADITH REFERENCE ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ The Prophet ο·Ί was asked if there's reward in serving animals. He said: ΩΩΩ ΩΩΩΩΩ ΩΩΨ¨ΩΨ―Ω Ψ±ΩΨ·ΩΨ¨ΩΨ©Ω Ψ£ΩΨ¬ΩΨ±Ω "In every living being, there is a reward." β Riyad as-Salihin 126 ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π FULL STORY ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ A man was traveling and became extremely thirsty. He found a well, climbed down, drank, and when he came back up, he saw a dog panting and eating mud out of thirst. The man said: "This dog is suffering from thirst just as I was." So he climbed back down, filled his shoe with water, held it in his mouth as he climbed up, and gave the dog water. Allah thanked him for this act and forgave him his sins. On the flip side, the Prophet ο·Ί also warned: "A woman entered the Hellfire because of a cat she imprisoned until it died. She neither fed it nor let it free to eat from the vermin of the earth." β Sahih al-Bukhari 3318 Two people. Two cats. Two opposite endings. The difference? How they treated a living creature. #Madinah #MadinahCats #Umrah #Umrah2025 #UmrahGuide #MasjidNabawi #Hajj #HajjTips #IslamicTravel #MuslimTravel #SaudiArabia #StrayAnimals #CatsOfMadinah #CharityInIslam #Sadaqah #IslamicReminder #HadithOfTheDay #albaik
