Non- Muslims are not permitted to enter Makka and Madinah<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Question:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why are non-Muslims not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Answer:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is true that non-Muslims are not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, by law. The following points will serve to elucidate the possible reasoning behind such a restriction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here only those who believe in Islam and are involved in the defense of Islam i.e. the Muslims are allowed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It would be illogical for a common citizen to object to the restriction on entering a cantonment area. Similarly it is not appropriate for non-Muslims to object to the restriction on non-Muslims against entering Makkah and Madinah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n a. Whenever a person travels to a foreign country, he has to first apply for a visa i.e. the permission to enter that country. Every country has its own rules, regulations and requirements for issuing a visa. Unless their criteria are met, they will not issue a visa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n b. One of the countries which is very strict in issuing a visa is the United States of America, especially when issuing visas to citizens of the third world. They have several conditions and requirements to be fulfilled before they issue a visa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n c. When I visited Singapore, it was mentioned on their immigration form – death to drug traffickers. If I want to visit Singapore I have to abide by the rules. I cannot say that death penalty is a barbaric punishment. Only if I agree with their requirements and conditions will I be permitted to enter the country.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n d. The Visa \u2013 The primary condition required for any human being to enter Makkah or Madina is to say with his lips, La <\/em>ila<\/em> ha <\/em>illallah<\/em>Muhammed<\/em>ur<\/em>Rasulullah<\/em> meaning that \u2018there is no God but Allah and Muhammed (pbuh) is His Messenger.\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Retrieved from the most common questions by Dr. Zakir Abdul Karim Naik.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Non- Muslims are not permitted to enter Makka and Madinah Question: Why are non-Muslims not allowed in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah?

1. All citizens are not permitted in the cantonment area<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
I am a citizen of India. Yet, I am not permitted to enter certain restricted areas like the cantonment. In every country, there are certain areas where a common citizen of that country cannot enter. Only a citizen who is enrolled in the military or those who are connected with the defense of the country are allowed in the cantonment area. Similarly, Islam is a Universal Religion for the entire world and for all human beings. The cantonment areas of Islam are the two holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
