Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Raheem.


My Amazing Umrah,
ma sha Allah!

Alhamdolillah. All praise is for Allah, Who permitted His slave to travel across the earth, Who provided for him who had no means and no power of his own. May He Forgive the mistakes of His slave and reduce the harm of them. And may He be pleased with His slave, and increase the good of his good deeds. Ameen.


The Holy Masjid in Makkah, no place holier! Picture from Hajj 1426 (January, 2006)

bismillah!

saturday 12:30 pm houston

inshaAllah, my flight to washington, dc leaves in a few minutes. i
pray that Allah subhanahu wata ala will be pleased with me, and will
forgive me my mistakes and shortcomings, the ones i know all too well,
and the ones that i have not yet faced.

i pray that He will watch over and care for my parents, relatives, and
friends, and that He wil keep them strong in their deen, health, and
mind in my absence.

i pray that my niyat remains pure, and free of anything that would
prevent my Umrah's acceptance.

for me, there can be no place i want to love as much as the birthplace
and nurturing place of Islam. rectification of the deen, comfort of
the soul, inspirer of the heart and mind -- these are Makkah and
Madinah to me.

--
Whether you hide what you want to say, or speak out loud, without
doubt He knows what is in your heart. Would He not know Who Created
everything? He is the Most Subtle, the Most Aware. (The Holy Qur'an,
Surah Al-Mulk, v13-14)

Open your heart to Islam.
Pray Fajr at 5:30 am at Al Farouq.
