This morning, I woke up in time for Jummah. The last time we came for umrah, I remembered jummah being extremely busy in Madinah so I knew there was no way that I would be able to get a space in the haram as the crowd was even bigger this time. I was right. The … Continue reading Friday – 19/01/2023 | Jummah in Madinah

Thursday – 18/01/2023 | Jummah ni raat in Madinah
Today, I woke up at 3pm in time for zohr. After reading salaah (zohr first and then asr) and freshening up, I went to Bin Dawood to buy some food. Bin Dawood is honestly my favourite grocery store.

It was … Continue reading Tuesday – 16/01/2024 | Al-Widaa Ya Makkah and entering the City of Peace
Monday – 15/01/2024 | The last day in Makkah
My heart woke up super sad today and I couldn’t help saying “last zohr”, “last asr”, etc after every salaah. We had some chicken tikka and dhaar and rice for lunch in our little lounge that somehow managed to fit nineteen of us! All of us wanted to buy those Zam Zam dispensers so we … Continue reading Monday – 15/01/2024 | The last day in Makkah
