Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuSorry for my late reply. Well, the vehicle I/Everyone was expecting was supposed to be a little bigger than the one I’m sitting in this is just a mini van, we were really cramped, I wouldn’t of fussed over it normally, but the fact was when I had got in, the driver had closed the door, and that was the main door, it was the side one, and he had walked off, and was nowhere to be seen for about 15mins, and I tried opening the window to let some air in but it was broken, and when I tried opening the door from inside there was no handle, and then I started to panic, because I was feeling like the inside of the van was growing in on me and on top of that I hadn’t fully recovered from my flu. I honestly couldn’t breathe. I need air people! Alhamdulillah before I started having an anxiety attack, he had come back and switched on the air con. There was about 15 of us all together in our group, and the majority of us were starving, first stop hotel… to eat. Have you ever felt really hungry and then when you had been blessed with the luxury of food, didn’t want to eat it… :-[that’s honestly how I was feeling. My throat was killing. All I kept thinking was Ya Allah! Please make this Umrah easy for me, I want to be able to do it with my own strength and not be a burden on anyone else, Ameen! The rest of the journey went smoothly, we passed the place where the border that’s separates the Muslims from all other tourists/people! I started reading a Hamd to myself, because we are just getting more and more closer to the Masjid Al Harm Shareef now, Mashallah its absolutely spiritually uplifting, Pehlay Rabb Da Naam Pukaar Miyaan, Jind Paak Nabi Tu Waar Miyaan, Thenu Ghaflat Nahin Dar Kaar Miyaan, Paroh La Illaah’ha Illallaa Ya Muhammad Sarwar Sallay Alaa!We were passing by some buildings and then suddenly everyone falls into sudden amazement, the Minaar Shareef of Masjid Al Haram Shareef have just come into view, and the feeling is just awesome, we all raise our hands in supplication, I make Dua that Allah Ta’lah will accept all my Duas, and then I make Duas for Family, Friends Kul Ummat e Musalmah and myself! I cried loads, I can’t believe that I’m looking at the Minaar Shareef of the Grand Mosque, I’ve seen it on TV, but in reality it’s all just unbelievable! Subhanallah! My energy levels are on the rise!  When we reach the hotel, we get our keys, make our ways to our own rooms, and then I help my Brother with the luggage, we advise everyone else to go make Wuzu, Inshallah soon we will be off to do our Umrah, and see the Kaaba Shareef for the very first time, I’m well excited!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! So were all good to go, do you know, I honestly thought that my niece would be jet lagged, after the whole stops and being cramped in our van, but Alhamdulillah she’s energetic, and believe it or not, I honestly feel better, my brother keeps teasing me saying that I was faking it….I wasn’t  Shah sahib volunteers to come with us, I just go over a few things with some members of the group: if you get lost don’t panic, finish your Sa’ee then make your way back to the Kaaba Shareef stand near the green light, and Inshallah someone will come collect you, and keep an eye on me, as I don’t want to get lost either, Jazakallah Khairan, don’t worry were all one big group and shall lookout for one another Inshallah! I go over the Niyyat that we will have to say for Tawaaf and that’s when the Masjid came into sight for the first time from outside, I felt like my heart had skipped a few beats, I cried a whole lot more. It was really beautiful! Subhanallah! Shah Sahib tells us that when we go inside the Mosque we should lower our gazes and not stare direct at the Kaaba Shareef, so as soon as we entered the Masjid we all entered with our right foot first, lowered our gazes and Inshallah in just a second I knew that when we were all to look up that’s when my life will change forever! Kaabay Di Rounaq Kaabay Da Manzar, Allah Hu Akbar! Allah Hu Akbar!More to come soon Inshallah! & Jazakallah khairan for reading Fi Aminillah Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuWe all quench our thirst with the blessed water Aabay Zam Zam! Mashallah, the water is so sweet, my Ammi Jee tells us all to rub it over ourselves as the water is a cure for all illnesses, Alhamdulillah! So we all walk down the stairs which lead us to start our Tawaaf around the Kaaba Shareef, I read the Niyyat out aloud so that anyone in our group who does not know it can repeat it after me, we then proceed with the rest of the Muslims who are doing their Tawaaf, and to my surprise it was not even that crowded it was almost empty Mashallah, (as in not the huge crowd that you'd get at Hajj time) seeing this made me want to go and touch the Kaaba Shareef but my brother kept holding me back and he had to keep reminding me that I was in my Ihram and cant touch the Qiblah Shareef due to the blessed fragrance from it. I was hearing what he was saying but it kept going in one ear and out the other   , I really wanted to touch the Kaaba Shareef! It was really hard holding myself back! Alhamdulillah I managed! We did Istilaam, (when you raise your hands towards the Hajre Aswad) This meant so much to me especially after learning about how Hazrat Umar Radi Allahu anhu said, you are only a stone that can do neither good nor harm, had I not seen Rasoolallah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam kiss you, I would not have done so. Subhanallah! Bhayja Hai Jannat Say Tujh Ko Khuda Nay Chooma Hai Tujh Ko Mere Mustafa Nay, Ay Sang e Aswad Tera Muqqadar Allah Hu Akbar! Allah Hu Akbar!We then started walking, My Abu Jee, other brother and Uncle disappear into the crowd, the reast of us remain together and start walking, I read the Duas for each time we circulate the Kaaba Shareef, and then read my 3rd kalma excessively and of course cry loads, May Allah Ta'lah forgive me for all my sins, and make me a good Muslim, Ameen! Mein Buron Se Laakh Bura Sahi, Magar Un Se Hay Mera Waasta, Meri Laaj Rakhna Mere Khuda, Yeh Tere Habeeb Ki Baat Hai!Yaad Agayeen Jab Apni Khatayein Ashkon Mein Dhalnay Lagee Iltijayein, Roya Ghilaaf e Ka'aba Pakkar Kar Allah Hu Akbar! Allah Hu Akbar!!! Mashallah we touched the Muqaam e Ibrahim in all rounds and got to proper cling onto it, and we all leant into kiss the glass around it, and when the guard so me, I moved off because he started shouting this is not allowed, Shirk! Teray Haram Ki Kiya Baat Maula Teray Karam Ki Kiya Baat Maula,Taa Umar Karday Aana Muqaddar Allah Hu Akbar! Allah Hu Akbar!It was all like a dream, It was so peaceful and it wasn’t even that crowded! It was unbleiveable! In our last round we went and touched the Hatheem, I remember in a Naat Shareef that Owais Qadri said that whoever reads 2 Rakaat Namaaz e Nafil in here it is equal to reading them inside the Kaaba Shareef! Allah Hu Akbar! Subhanallah! When we finished our Tawaaf we all go and drink some more Zam Zam water, Aabay Zam Zam Mein Peevaa Uthey Mein Mara Thay Jeeva, Sadqah Naawasiyan Da Sun Merian Zaariyaan!We all then go to do our Sa’ee, which Alhamdulillah we managed fine, until in the third round we met a group member who said to us that because they have extended the Sa’ee that you only have to do 3 rounds,  because of the extension they have equalled them both out to being three and a half long to how they were done before. The only thing that I said was different was that they had knocked both mountains down, other than that it still looked the same to me, and plus they would not change the Sunnah of walking seven times, and then they said that because I was young I didn’t know. So I asked a cleaner in the Mosque who said no, although they did have extensions upstairs. So we finish the remainder of our Sa’ee. During the course of the green lights which is know as the Meelayn Akhdarayn my Brother had to walk a little faster, than us, I left my Ammi and Sister n Law together and walked a little faster to catch him up, as He’s an asthmatic and I didn’t want to leave him alone, just in case he goes ill. As we finish our Sa’ee the Muazzin calls the Azaan, we all drink some more Zam Zam water and then make our way back to the Kaaba Shareef, it was about 3 ish in the morning, I knew that this was Tahajjud Azaan so I start to read my Nawaafils, everyone else (bless them) read their Sunnat for Fajr, I reminded them that it was not the Azaan for Fajr Namaaz. Hamd eKhuda Say Tar Hain Zubaanein Kaano Mein Rass Gholtee Hain Azaanein, Buss Ik Sadaa Aarahi Hai Baraabar Allah Hu Akbar Allah Hu Akbar!More to come soon Inshallah! Jazakallah Khairan for reading Fi Aminillah Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
