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)

A dream while sleeping in al Aqsa

wednesday 7:45 am Jerusalem

yesterday i fell asleep in Masjid al Aqsa about an hour after

Asr. alhamdolillah, i had a beautiful dream and at the end of
the dream, i remember vividly that i was leaving a hall (maybe
the Masjid).

as i reached the door, there was a loud knocking. i opened the
door, and alhamdolillah, an older relative was standing there.
he had a stroke a few years ago, and has not fully recovered.
i met him while i was in pakistan, and i love his company.
alhamdolillah, he was completely well and vigorous, though,
in my dream.

he came right in and gave me a big hug saying, something like
"oh, Tariq, alhamdolillah, now i am here and you are both here
with me." i could see someone with him, and felt it must be
his son, who is about my age. but i did not clearly see his face.

the older man kissed me on my cheeks, and i really felt
something there because it was so vivid it woke me up.

alhamdolillah, i rarely have such vivid dreams, and the sharing
of good dreams is a sunnah. so i am glad to share this one.

the picture is of a large stained glass window, alhamdolillah,
at Masjid al Aqsa, one of the most beautiful Masajid i
have ever seen.
