Umrah

لَبَّيْكَ اللّٰهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ. لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ. اِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَاْلملْكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ. 

Meaning: “Your servant came to answer your call, O God. Your servant came to answer your call. Your servant came to answer your call. God who has no ally for You. Your servant came to answer your call. Indeed, all praise and blessings and the kingdom belong to You, there is no partner for You. ”

We leave the city of Medina with feelings of sadness and longing. We promise that we will be back again. We will meet again, O Messenger of Allah.

There was a time when Rasulullah dreamed of doing Umrah and then the Prophet and his entourage moved towards Mecca. They stopped at Dzul Hulaifah, to perform miqat. Yes! This is also where we stopped to Miqat and ihram to answer the call of Allah.

The journey from Medina to Mecca takes 6 hours by bus. The journey was so far, farther and longer the duration of the journey of the Prophet and Abu Bakr in their migration mission to Medina. The times in the bus are always filled with guidance and knowledge sharing from our mutawwif and mutawwifah.

When we arrived in Mecca, Alhamdulillah the room was clean, big and comfortable for our family. We stayed at Hotel Dar Al-Eiman which is located inside Safwah Tower. Very close to the Grand Mosque. Just go down the escalator, you have reached the mosque.

Mutawwif guided us from beginning to end to ensure that we all could perform umrah perfectly. The guidance that left an impression in the hearts of all of us. Alhamdulillah that this trip is full of joy and such a good experience for us. We will cherish this moment forever.
