Re: Share your trip/Pilgrimage experience
u literally took the words out of my mouth!!!! i cant add much to that!
hey, i met a Maamo I hadn't met for a really long time as well :) and i did it at the end of june :)
one thing that was really special was that we once got to pray nafil so close to the kaaba that when I'd do sajda, there'd be about 0.5 foot space b/w my head and the kaaba wall... it felt like i was at the centre of gravity, Subhanallah!
And i also ended up grabbing onto the cloth on top of the kaaba (i.e. wall) a couple of times and prayed to my heart's content...
one thing that i really envied are all those not-so-well-off muslims (unke kaprhoun se andaaza ho ga ta hai)... and u can tell that they have been saving up thier entire lives to visit this place, Subhanallah! and how they sit on the ground and eat tandoori roti and yougurt... made me wanna cry... these are the ppl that will enter heaven first inshallah...
May Allah bless all Muslims with opportunity to visit these blessed places, and grant taufiq to those who dont value it, Amin.
Wassalam
Who knows, maybe I saw you :D
True. I also prayer many time when I was literally right in front of the kaabah. I also prayed in the semicircle area known as Hijr Ismaeel at a Maghrib salah once. When you pray inside that, it is the same as if you have prayed inside Kaaba itself. :)
