During the Ottoman era, especially between the 16th to early 20th centuries, the custodianship of the Haramayn (Makkah & Madinah) was held with immense honour. Lock and key sets were crafted with exceptional care for the doors of the Rawdah, Bab al-Tawbah, or inner sacred chambers of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi Verse of Salawat upon the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
Arabic
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
English Translation
”Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and greet him with peace”
(Surah 33:56)
Arabic
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا
English Translation
Indeed, those who harm Allah and His Messenger—Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment
(Surah 33:57)
These two verses are consecutive and appear in Surah Al-Ahzab, which focuses heavily on the status of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), respect toward him, and the etiquette of the believers
