Alhumdulillah, for the opportunity of performing Umrah before traveling Down Under….my Umrah was made with the intention of it being accepted on behalf of the Grandmother I mentioned in a previous post. Alhumdulillah she was blessed with Hidayah a days before taken back to Allah Ta’ala during this past week. Inna liLlahi wa inna ilaihi rajeoun. JazakumuLlahu khairan for all who made Du’a.
….. Masjid Al-Haram and the immediate surounds are dramatically changing with the Masa’a extension, air conditioning being installed throughout the Masjid, the Jabal Umar project and the entire Shamia area having been demolished….
….for the moment the birth place of our Beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam provides a serene respite from the noisy,dusty activity….
….SubhanAllah, to be one amongst such numbers of the Ummah, uniting hearts and souls….
SubhanAllah to be of the Ummah of HabibuLlaha SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

Assalamualaikum dearest sister,
Subhanallah! The Mercy of Allah Ta’ala knows no bounds! May your Grandmother be honoured with the highest ranks in Jannah.
Jazakiallah khaira for sharing with us all these brilliant images, I sat here staring at the images of the Kabbah and the surrounding crowds of people… ahh how the heart desires to return.
Have a wonderful journey back ‘down under’ dear sister… your presence will be sorely missed.
Wasalam.

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Dear T…both now in the Southern Hemisphere…how vast and yet so small is this wondrous planet.
Love and Du’as for you and yours Ukhti Farhanah,now seem so far away from our sacred lands…Alhumdulillah that Allah Ta’ala’s reach is everywhere.
Dear Brother Ikramuddin, it was not my grandmother, but that of the children whose drawings I often use on the blog. Meanwhile please make Du’a for my family and my Adab as I try to give Da’wah in the short time I have been given to be with them. I am now experiencing that intense yearning for Madinah. May we all returned, Amen.
I am trying to adapt to working from a laptop, finding it odd. Insha’Allah I hope to write a little about being here soon.
Wassalamu alaikum
