I would like to share this experience with all of you:

here is the outsider area before entering the area where the Ka'bah is and they keep building more and more just to make it wider for the increasing numbers of people who come every year

and here is where we have to do the Safa and Marwa walking (7 times) Like what Hajir the wife of the prophet Ibrahim (Ibraham) peace be upon him did

Have you ever come so close to Ka'bah like this?

I still cant believe that I took this picture, it was soo crowded there but subhanAllah I did it at the end. Even though, that crowd was nothing compared to Ramadan or the time of Hajj...people rows reach the streets subhanAllah


May Allah grant every Muslim to go there and May Allah preserve this Deen until the last hour
 
Masha'Allah.. how amazing.. may Allah swt grant me a hajj from his generosity ...

thanks so much for sharing..
what are you allowed to have on you in Makkah? can you carry a purse with money and such? if so where do you put it, while performing rituals and making prayers?

Ameen to your duaa

your welcome dear
yeah you can carry purse with money and anything you want like water or mobile, when you pray you can put it near you or in your pocket if it was small.....

they security there dont allowed food to enter the masjed and they do check any bag you carry with you before entering

btw, do you have a picture of maqam ibrahim (AS)

I have a zillion perfume, but one of my favs is shaped after maqam ibrahim, I imagine it to smell like that in real life
MuskAlHaramain_large-1.jpg


it is earthy smelling with a hint of dignified rose, and I say that because it is very difficult to get a decent rose scent, I think the best I have come across is this one

stella rose absolute .. though if you can believe it with all that publicity still pales to the Misk Al Harmain..

sorry for the digression.. but does makkah have a scent?

:w:

Gosh!!! I dont have the guts to take a pic of Maqam Ibrahim.....If you see the crowed of people around the Kabah and around the maqam you will know what I mean
we barely could go and see it :phew what if I stand a little longer to take a photo I will be under the feets :exhausted :skeleton:

Oh stella is not that perfect, I got the whole collection of it as a gift and I did'nt like it that much "the one I have is different than the pic". I think I have came cross Misk Al Harmain...I think its with one of my family members and it does smill very nice

and No, there is no scent for Makkah but they always use the pure original Oud and Misk to put on the Kabah and the prayers area
 
every time I tried to make umra or hajj something came up.. sob7an Allah.. the first time, I had all my clothes and we were set to go, my aunt was living in Jeddah at the time while we in Riyadh, we went to visit her to make umra into hajj with her, but she apparently had been hospitalized after suffering a miscarriage, and was really in bad shape that neither she nor her husband had told us of the detail...

I have been really longing to go there...
 
I thought they don't allow pictures. Guess I was wrong!

Well, Jazakallah for sharing! May Allah Ta'ala grant us all the same opportunity. Ameen!

Yeah stella isn't great, I like rose scents, I have been out to collect (well actually I collect all) but it is slightly better than the

unless you have distilled real rose, I think they all smell synthetic and unnatural.. Misk al harmain isn't so spectacular at first dab .. but when you let it set a while, the deeper notes unravel and it is positively heavenly....

I was really under the impression that Makkah had a scent, deep and mysterious as old as history itself...:)

have you got any more pictures?:statisfie

inshaAllah will upload some more tomorrow when I have the chance :)
 
i think you can use the digital camera... but not the other type of camera... i can't r emember what the name...
 
^ I saw many people there brought their digital cameras, is there really a restriction over the type of camera we can use?!
 
^ then how come scholars there saw people taking photos and didn't say anything?
And how come the security scattered on all doors check bags and allow camera holders to enter?
