Travelog Haji - Signing Off - Fate of the Ummah

We are about to leave Mekah for Jeddah. Our hajj is now complete. We pray to Allah that our Hajj is accepted as mabrur. Leaving this holy land I cannot help but reflect and summed up my experience with this word....what has happened to this once great ummah. What has made us to sink to this pathethic state. Why so much difference betwen THEN and NOW. It reminds me of a hadith during the last days of the prophet during his farewell prayer to the martyr of Uhud....... “I am to precede you and I have been made witness upon you. By Allâh, you will meet me at the ‘Fountain’ very soon. I have been given the keys of worldly treasures. By Allâh, I do not fear for you that you will turn polytheists after me. But I do fear that acquisition of worldly riches should entice you to strike one another’s neck.” . With this hadith I am leaving Mecca with tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart. Signing Off .Wassalam.

Travelog haji - my Inspiration

Was about to go back without doing tawaf after dhuha prayer this morning.  Then I saw this man doing his tawaf.  I told my self that I have to do mine and do it well.  So I did it.  Thank u for being such an inspiration.

Travelog haji - Pintu mana favourite anda

Setiap orang ke masjidil haram pasti mempunyai pintu kesulaan untuk masuk ke masjid ini.  Ada berpuluh puluh pintu.  Banyak jamaah kita yang tersasar dan terus tersesat kerana lupa pintu yang digunakan untuk masuk.  Biasanya berlaku kepada jamaah yang beumur dan berlaku majoritinya semasa zohr.  Ini desbbkan jamaah yang ramai dan cuaca yang amat panas.  Pintu kegemaran kami ialah pintu 84 berhadapan Bin Dawood.  Apa pintu kegemaran anda?.

Surah Al-Araf Ayat 25

Surah Al-Araf, Verse 25:
قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ

Allah berfirman: "Di bumi itu kamu hidup dan di bumi itu kamu mati, dan dari bumi itu (pula) kamu akan dibangkitkan.
