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)

Sweet

Yeah, that's right, "Chocodate."

sunday 6:45 am Karachi

big bus. i'm on a 777-200 in row 65 and it's not the last row. the flight is just a 2 hour nonstop to islamabad, but it is fully packed, alhamdolillah.

i am seriously thinking about taking the train back, inshaAllah. my parents arrive in Karachi inshaAllah on wednesday. i may be done with Islamabad by Monday.

in that case the train seems like a great way to get to see the countryside. that is if it's a day train. or maybe train to lahore, and fly back from there?

sunday 9:40 am Islamabad

one thing about a big bus... lots of checked luggage. we landed 40 minutes ago.

sunday 10:10 am Islamabad

wow. this city is so beautiful. to be more precise the land is so beautiful. it lends the city a serenity and softness that makes forgivable the posh development and gutwrenching decrepitudes... so many parks... and the cradling mountain range -- not tall imposing peaks but inviting though steep green slopes.

its lovely. that's really the word for it. alhamdolillah.
