I've just recently came back from a two week trip to do Umrah. It was really fascinating seeing the 2 Holy Mosques and the Kabah for the 1st time. It was really cool to hear the recitors in person. I liked it when you could hear the adhan from the hotel.

Well when I was in Medina, in Masjid an nabawi, the Arab women picked me up and called me a princess. :sister: :sister: :sister:

..and the second time was 4years ago. :sister:

I don't think any major event took place obviously apart from seeing the haramain sharifayn :wub: . That was amazing. It's too good to be decribed in words. You have to experience it yourself insha'Allah.



Insha'Allah, I intend to go again soon! :sister:

It was beutiful. I went to Umrah in 2000. Everything was a major event Mashallah. and i met the Imam of the Masjid Al-Nabavi, Salaah- Al-Budair twice.

lol...I didn't see this until now..

Yep, alhamdulillah I have gone for Hajj.. This past yr and in 2001.. Yeh, the Masjid Al Haram does have a powerful and kinda intimdating feel to it. :wub: And the closer you get to the Kaabah you just feel like melting. Its truly amazing mashaAllah. And so is walking around the area where the dome is in Masjid Al Nabawi.. When you actually walk in there you just wanna cry that you never got to be here when Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was there.

*gets off the spotlight* Sheesh...I talk too much.

Hey, bro zAk, you went, innit? Come on share u'r stories. I shared mine a while back...u never said much abt u'rs.

And thats wonderful sis 3washey. :love: May Allah SWT accept it from you and grant every Muslim the means to go.

Copyright laws! How could you ignore 'em?!

Wait...I didn't post it on LI? Sheesh.. Er, no, please don't post it. Seriously, the Madeenah part I wrecked up on and I should really edit it grammatically cuz dat thing gives ME a headache!

Soooo, in the mean time brother zAk, you can have the honors of sharing your booteephul Hajj stories.

*spotlight shines on bro zAk*

And now stay tuned brothers and sisters, the Hajj episodes from dear zAk that you've been so patiently awaiting.
