My Guide to Umrah

 

To sum up my Umrah experience is to simply describe it as the most beautiful thing that has happened to me thus far. A powerful supplication (see below) shared by my cousin. She read it and was soon called to visit the Ka’bah and I gave it a try and true enough Allah called me to the holy land of Makkah and Madinah within a few months.

 

*line 5 of dua [bulughil MARAAM]

I remember the moment when I first sat gaze on the Ka'bah. It was such a humbling experience to come face to face with something that I had dreamt of seeing since a child.  My heart was beating fast as I poured out my heart’s supplication. After all, the duas made at first glimpse of the Kaabah are mustajab (accepted). And the more you look at this beautiful structure, the more attached your heart becomes to your Creator. Its amazing how soft your heart becomes and how tears flow so easily and uncontrollably when you are there..
