The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. Was I really leaving the Beloved of Allah? Our stay in Madinah drew to an end. SubhanAllah. We had gathered at Umm AR’s room for a final prep talk about ihram and umrah. She said we should take things step by step and go only through umrah for now so as not to get overwhelmed with the rites of Hajj. Now I got myself into a little ihram pickle! What do I do! I, a lil over excited a lil over zealo...

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. The Sacred City of Light. OhMyGod I was ready! We arrived at the ELAF hotel, part of the haram itself and a 30 second walk to the masjid- or 5 seconds if you run lol, and we got in during the time of Asr. It was actually quite a long wait in the foyer as we sorted our rooms. But I took out my “dalail al khayraat” book and started reading. This is quite the interesting book! Not that she would sa...

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيم. About a year and a bit ago. I had a dream. I was on a bus and as though I was on a tour with people we arrived somewhere that looked like the grand Colosseum on the outside. It had old broken walls and I remember seeing a horse with a rider on it suspended within its walls. I know that’s really weird, but alas. such are dreams. This is tijara ( trade. I could...

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. Umar bin Khattab street! All goes well, we arrive in Jeddah airport and we get transported to the Hujaj airport next door, only Hujaj enter here, left right and centre everyone calls you hajji *me a hajji *aw! We pass through in 5 minutes. At this point umm AR is rather shocked lol. It feels so incredibly good to be covered and invisible to people and known only to Allah,. And Allah to me. Who w...

~ The Hajj of Kings and Queens ~: The Grand Finale!

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. Amazed at where I had just been and how amazing it was. I reflected for a moment on everything in my life to that point. Had I sought forgiveness for every sin, big or small that I’d committed? Maybe some, but not all, and here I was standing forgiven for it all. How amazing is Allah. We arrived in Sydney. Can anything besides Makkah and Madinah be called home? I didn’t know. It was so beautiful.

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. Hajj is here AHHHH! Now Hajj was upon us, first stop:. We’d assumed ihram from the hotel and told to take with us sleeping bags, minimal clothing and lots of energy! First stop the Mina tents! We all boarded our buses and it took us down to Mina, now we were warned,. As was tradition with every pit-stop,. Sometimes people take your tent, maybe the air-con isn’t working –. MINA STARTS HERE v.

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. My Most Generous King. You won’t believe how many things you want from Allah. Till you write it all down! Ramadan crept in that year and I thought, khalas I’m just gonna make dua. One night I went on a feverish writing spree, I was like wow! I have tons of dua to make, I think I’ll just write it all out so I don’t miss anything- it's Ramadan, gates are open! That turned into a booklet,. I made t...

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. A double hajj in one! I never really grasped the fact of where I was. We missed breakfast the first day coz we all realised sleep at 8am was too precious to skip for breakfast lol. We had eight days or so free-time in between Umrah and Hajj, and so it was a nice time to get familiar with Makkah. We took some side trips that were purely amazing. I wanted Hajj to be all to be one big hit! SO beaut...

The Hajj of Kings and Queens. The humble journey of a poor needy slave to the House of The Most-Generous King. The Hajj of Kings and Queens. Me and my bro headed to the Haram did tawaful wada’ and tawaful ifaada in one go because we were leaving the next day or so- we did it on the roof and although the route is longer I swear it didn’t feel like it took a second longer doing than doing tawaf in the courtyard! It went by so quick! Refilled zamzam and when that was over, it was finished! Improve your Sala...
