I always think 'What stories the mountains of Mecca could tell us, if they could speak?' JK
Yes, I know what you mean. Alhamdulillah, I was able to make hajj last year, arriving in Jeddah on my 50th birthday. Both Mecca and Medina are the most surreal places on earth that seem almost like Paradise to me. The most amazing thing was going to and returning from salah in Masjid Al-Haram. It was like the ebb and flow of the tide with masses of people from all over the world there for the sole purpose of worshiping their Creator.Aw subhanAllah want to go back![]()

My Mother told me so much about Indonesian Hajjaj's :statisfie
I totally get what you mean. One of the most amazing things for me was the feeling of real peace inside masjidil haram and masjid nabawwi, even when I was barely able to move because of so many people. And every shalah jamaah in both masjids were such experience that it is hard to describe: the total unity and brotherhood, the realization that we are Allah insignificant creatures that fully depend on Him, and the feeling of infinite gratifications for all His blessings.
Here's some pictures I took during umra 2009:
Jazaki Allahu khayran, I wish I could go there but whom to take me , in shaa Allah one day we will be all there and we will pray together Ya Rabb Ameeeeen
you reminded me of this Nasheed:
Oh Mountains of Mecca, what can you say
Of the day that Abraham passed your way
And He was instructed by God to build
A House of peace where people will pray
And they will come on every lean camel and out of every ravine
For the purpose of praising Allah, to glorify Allah
Oh Mountains of Mecca, what can you tell
Of the day when stones from the sky fell
Destroying an army determined to break
The House of Allah that Abraham built
Oh Mountains of Mecca, how was the dawn
On the day that my Prophet Muhammad was born
How did it feel knowing he was to be, the last and most beloved of all
Rasul of Allah, Nabi of Allah
Oh Mountains of Mecca, you were there
When the Prophet Muhammad climbed down in despair
Engraved in his heart were the words of his Lord
To all of mankind this was his call
La illaha illAllah, Muhammad-u-Rasullullah
Oh people praise only Allah, Glorify Allah
Oh Mountains of Mecca, how did you mourn
On the day that the beloved returned to his Lord
And up till the last breath escaped from his lips
He prayed that his Ummah would find success
Oh Mountains of Mecca how will it feel
When the earth shall quake and tremble with fear
And we shall be gathered together to stand
In the court of Allah with our deeds at hand
Oh how we pray that on that day, we'll be with those to whom Allah will say
Peace be with you, I am pleased with you
Oh Mountains of Mecca, Bear witness that I
To the oneness of Allah do I testify
For all that He's given me, How can I deny
My purpose in life should be only to cry
La illaha illAllah, Muhammad-u-Rasullullah
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad's His Messenger
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Rasullillah
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Nabi Allah
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Rasullillah
