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)

the gate of the cotton merchants

friday 3:30 pm Jerusalem

alhamdolillah, i prayed jumaa today in Masjid al Aqsa. the Masjid was packed by 11:30, and there were crowds outside, alhamdolillah.

many places were closed today, but definitely not shops, restaurants, nor street vendors.

this picture was just on the other side of the gate of the cotton merchants, one of the many gates leading into Masjid al Aqsa.

alhamdolillah, all the structures, courtyards and lawns, inside the gates are part of the Masjid. a separate gate leads to the street where bathrooms can be found. wudu areas abound in the Masjid area. and there are many beautiful trees inside, alhamdolillah.

alhamdolillah, i have met people who are so fortunate that they live next to the Masjid with windows that open on the courtyard. what a blessing for them and for their families.

inshaAllah, i will return to jordan on sunday afternoon or evening.

(Makkah Time)
