Pakistani comedian and actor Iftikhar Thakur said in a Nadir Ali Podcast that he has traveled to 42 countries, but according to him, he found nothing but lies and deception everywhere. He believes that no place in the world offers the same peace and light as the atmosphere in Medina.
During a podcast interview, Iftikhar Thakur shared his experience of visiting Madinah. He expressed that even today, when he mentions Bab Salaam and Jannatul Baqi, he feels a drop in his blood pressure.
Iftikhar Thakur mentioned buying a white robe from Madina's market. One night at two o'clock, he woke up and felt compelled to wash and wear the white robe. He decided to walk towards the Prophet's Mosque, hoping to find a special occasion when the mosque doors would be open. Although he had been to Medina four times before, he had never seen that particular door open.
The security guard at the mosque didn't recognize him at first, but another guard recognized him as a fan and warmly welcomed him. Iftikhar asked the guard to take him to the Nalain e Rasool SAW, but he couldn't stand there for more than 10 seconds. Overwhelmed with emotions, he kissed the Nalain Mubarak and quickly left. He spent the rest of the night crying, feeling blessed that Allah and the Holy Prophet had personally guided him on this visit to Naleen Pak.
