Makkah journey (pt1) - The Holy City

Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. .

Tiada ucapan lain yg lebih tepat bagi menggambarkan perasaan saya ketika ini. Terlalu besar nikmat Allah. Terlalu hebat pemberiannya.. Maka setiap nikmat itu wajiblah disyukuri dengan ucapan Subhannallah Alhamdulillah Allahuakbar!

It's day-19 in the Holy City - Makkah Al Mukarramah. Everything has been going on very smoothly. Alhamdulillah. The daily routine is only focused on ibadah. No work.. nothing!

We woke up as early as 2am or 3am as a preparation to go to Masjidilharam. Our hotel Rehab AlJenadriyah is located about 950 meters from the Holy mosque. We can either take van (2 riyal) or taxi (maybe 3 or 5 riyal, but sometimes also 2!) Or bus (1 or 2 riyal).. but lately with more pilgrims arriving, the police has closed the main roads to allow people to walk.. so most of the time walking is our routine.

Anyhow that is not the the reason to skip the chance of praying in Masjidilharam where Allah has promised 120 "rahmat" for those who:

60 rahmat : Ppl tawwaf around the Kaa'ba
40 rahmat : Ppl praying in front of it
20 rahmat : Ppl just looking at it

And not to forget, Allah promises 100,000 ganjaran for those who do good deeds in Tanah Haram.

Masha'Allah!!

MAKKAH IS MAGIC!

When we arrived the temperature goes up to 45°C. Amazingly, we can stand the heat. Just imagine walking such a long distance, in that heat, with very harsh environment.. Allah make it easy for us. Alhamdulillah. ..

BTW now the temperature has drop maybe around 30.5°C. Alhamdulillah. ..

And why do I have time to blog? It's actually THE time of the month.. I've promised myself to make full use of every second I'm here. I want to record this journey. I want to remember my entire life. I want everyone to feel the same feeling like I'm having ----- the love of Mecca feeling
