Madinah felt like a dream. I would be reading salaah and then look up and be astounded that I’m actually in Masjid un Nabawi, and this happened during every salaah. There is something surreal of breathing the same air that Nabi ﷺ is in. Looking at the same sky and the same sunsets that Nabi … Continue reading Saturday – 13/09/2025 to Wednesday – 17/09/2025 | Madinah musings

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.
