Have any of you been to Saudi Arabia to do Umrah or Hajj??
If you have had any events that happened to you please post them if you want to.

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 . That was amazing. It's too good to be decribed in words. You have to experience it yourself insha'Allah.
Jazakallah sister for your stories. I also intend to go soon if I can.

I went to Makkah... in 1999 when i was 16 fpr umrah.... once i steped foot into the Haram... and i saw the ka3ba infront my eyes it looked larger then life i felt like an ant...... my legs felt weak and my heart was faint... i blacked out... :'( i felt so sinful i couldnt stop crying Subhnallah.... it was an experience i can never forget....
i'm going BACK again!!!!! inshallah by the end of this month! make Du'aa i dont faint.
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. 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. May Allah SWT accept it from you and grant every Muslim the means to go.

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

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
but the things that happen in hajj...those stories of men touching the women during tawaf and women stealing gold
SubhanAllah if ur not going to fear Allah in his house....then ur quite shameless and are capeable of doing any wrong anywhere else.
My heart, so precious,
I won't trade for a hundred thousand souls.
Your one smile takes it for free.Rumi
