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.
So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
(Sura Ya-Seen 36:83)

Please Don't Forget the Plight of Muslims in your Dua's "And Seek (Allah's) help
with Sabr (patience) and Salat (prayers): it is indeed hard, except to those who
are humble" (Qur'an Al-Baqara 2:45)
Wen i first saw the kabah for real, tears automatically flew felt as if finally am doing sumting rite and amazing for allah(swt)! i've always seen the hajj video or in the books, neva knw i was gna see it face to face!! Allahu akbar!!! My dream came true, but i still feel empty. My heart and mind is there. Feel as i belong there, everytime i only think about that, wen will i go there?? Alhamdullilah i went to hajj the same year which was in 2005. It was excellent journey, a wonderful xperince!! how can i foget?? One thing i cud'nt do was kiss the black stone, mashallah my brother kissed it 3 times. Allahu akbar!!
inshalah i wana go there again waiting for a sign. I had this wonderful dream few weeks ago that i was in makkah with all the pilgrims heard the asr adan and prayed jamat with them!! does anyone knw wot this cud mean??
Inshalah can everybody make dua as am dying to go there, i made a niyat with my family. Inshalah it will cums true, planning to open a account in islamic bank to save money for hajj inshalah. I have only one wish, potential to go there!!
hpe anyone wudlyk to share any xperiences or ask for advice??
Ameen to the duas, I havent done Hajj either, but I would like to fulfill my other duties then I would plan my trip to Hajj if Allah subhana wahtallah wills!
I remember seeing all the people making sujood (prostration) to Allah, and it was completely silent...that alone made me cry...Allahu Akbar..to know that we are all here (in hajj) worshipping the same Creator..submitting to Him alone.
Then, i saw all my brothers and sisters who were from different backgrounds, and of different colours, dressed so beautifully, with the traces of nur(light) on there faces...smiling and greeting one another with salams.
Women, covered in black from head to toe, as if they were precious pearls being safeguarded by there husbands who seemed to be there body guards.
Little old men crying, and making dua for Allah the Most High to forgive them for there life full of sins....sharing food with loved ones, or strangers on the premises of the Prophets masjid....
I swear im sad everytime the hajj comes and goes, as i wish i could go again, and be one of these blessed pilgrims....
Has anyone made a pilgrimage to Mecca? What was it like? I'm soo curious... I sound like such a gooser...but I'm learning about the Five Pillars of Islam in History now..and I thought...hmmm maybe someone could actually describe it.... get back to me whenever... ANSWER MY OTHER QUESTIONS at the Introducing myself post! Because my analysis is going to mainly be based on your posts...make your voice be heard...instead of those people like my history teacher...relating your religion with Terrorism...help me make my class understand!!!
I myself have never gone, but inshallah (god willing) one day i will.
From what i know, its an amazing, undescribable feeling. I mean if you just watch it on like tv or something you will be amazed to see how all different types of people, with different backgrounds, different ethnicities are combined into one place and named as one. subhanallah!
everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah, and you cannot seperate differences from one person to the other.
Inshallah someone else can describe it better than I since i havent experienced it yet
subhanallah!the stories of people who go are so amazing!i havnt been either......inshallah Allah will give me the chance to go! but people always say we have to experience it ourselves to know what its like!
All i can say is imagine being in the what to muslims in a sense is the centre of the world in the largest gathering on earth. Imagine people from all colours, nations, people with differenet languages, people youve never even seen, people from places youve never heard or even thought existed. Imagine seeing young, old, rich and poor all in dressed the same. In the pilgrime to Mecce there is no diffrentiaition between rich and poor, arab or non arab. People you never seen before will treat you like family. You never wana leave, it beomes ones home. To conclude, its truely amazing, its truly the house of God.
I went for hajj three years ago and it was really a wonderful experience.......
I actually went with my maternal family i m tellin this beause i have no idea how i get to reach there it seems just like Allah called me and iwent, what actually had happened that when they were makin plans for hajj i just said i also want to go and was not really serious about it but they applied on my behalf too and it was accepted and tthis made me realize that really Allah's call is important for it and it was really shocking for me that my grand parent's application was rejected..............
Being at muzdalafa and spending night on the ground full of stones without any top makes you feel like you are nothing just a little creature of Allah.All your proud feelings come to an end.
wasalam
no unfortunately i havent been yet. i keep on wanting to, but parents say i have to finish my GCSE years first. inshAllah after then i will.
i got quite envious when my bro and parents went last year!!! :'(
Alhumdullilah i have performed Hajj and Umrah. It is a one life time experience and a very emotional one. To spend Ramadhaan in mecca is something extra special and the barkat of it.
