Alhamdulillah I have just got back from umrah on 19/01/2019. This is actually my second umrah where I was previously invited to be His guest in 2014. If you guys wanna know my first umrah journey experience you can just click this.
My feelings were exactly the same when I first came to the Holy Land 5 years ago. I was in awe at the sight at the kaabah. What a sight to see! Ya Allah this is what Ive been waiting for. The last time I was infront of the kaabah on my last day in Makkah, I still remembered one of my prayers was "Ya Allah jemput aku lagi, aku akan datang sini lagi". And here I am right infront of the Holy kaabah. Eventho it was my second time, I was still so nervous and filled with excitement or rather afraid and immensely happy. With all these mix emotions I had at that time, I was drowned in a lot of thoughts.
What can I say for my umrah this time is totally different. I got so many opportunities to approached and touched the Holy kaabah. I was able to get into Hijr Ismail for more than 5 times. Allah make it easier and smooth for me to makes my long duas infront of the Holy kaabah, multazam and in Hijr Ismail. It is so miracle when there was an Indonesian man who told me to pray and he protected me from being pushed and hit by the crowd. It was actually so difficult to even make a 2 rakaat prayer in Hijr Ismail with so many crowd but then I managed to do it. The most saddest part of me when Ive completed my tawaf wida'. My tears start rolling bcs I really dont want to leave this place. But I just had to and in hope I would be back here again.
Leaving Makkah with a heavy heart but I was looking forward to visiting the city of Rasulullah.
Madinah Al-Munawwarah also the place that Ive been longing for so long. Here is the only place where I can be close to Prophet Muhammad SAW. It was so sad to heard the story of our Prophet about how great his sacrifice is. I was able to get into Raudhah twice where I didnt get many opportunities to Raudhah during my first umrah. Allah has given me a long time to be in Raudhah this time and Im so grateful. Alhamdulillah.
There was so many miracle things happened in Makkah and Madinah but I just cant simply list everything down. I was so lucky enough to go with my family and I cant explain how special the 2 weeks were. Well I dont think there are words to explain it. I feel like staying there forever bcs this is the only place where I feel really calm and I can totally forgot about dunya. In other words, my life is just focus to the one and only Allah.
Oh ya, I was immensely happy to met my friend, Abdul Muthalib. He's a technician in Schindler. Bumped into him since we were at KLIA to Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah. We left on the same day on 07/01/19, have boarded the same flight, same hotel at Plaza Makarim Madinah and returned to Malaysia at the same time. It was a pleasure to see him and we had a talk together while waiting for the flight at the Madinah Airport. Just wow.
Subhanallah Alhamdulillah thank you Allah for blessing me with all the good things.
*I will never stop missing the blessed lands where I wish to return again and again with my loved one's. Aamin
