By Noor Khadijah Sumayyah

Allhamdulilah all praises to Allah s.w.t the most gracious the most merciful.

May peace and blessings be upon our beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w I feel very blessed to be able to go Makkah and Madinah.

Allhamdulilah Allah s.w.t has also allowed me to go Umrah for four times.

My Umrah experience was special and amazing.

When I was in the plane going to Medina I was so excited with the thought in my mind that I get to meet the prophet s.a.w again.

I was beaming with joy upon reaching the city of Madina.

My heart was fluttering with eagerness to set foot in Masjid Nabawi. Whenever I’m in Madina I feel a sense of peace surrounding me whenever I am in Madina.

The best part of Umah is I get to go Rawdah with my father (2023) and I get to be closer to Allah without any distractions of the world.

I feel very happy and excited to go Umrah again inshallah.

Last year in 2024, I went Rawdah with my mother and I felt sick and very tired, to help me move around, the agent gave me a wheel chair.

My mother had to push me. We were separated from the Jemaah because we had to go to the wheel chair lane.

She was still very happy because from the barakah of all the sick people, the guards let us go nearer to the prophet s.a.w. grave. The best part was they didn’t really chase us out alhamdulilah.

My favorite part of Umrah is doing sa’i it was fun.

Last year I went sa’i with my father. We walked together until the green path where men need to run or do a brisk walk. And after the green path I found my father and we repeated that for seven times.

In one of the rounds after the green path I found my father he asked me how did you find me so fast?

But I did not know that was very fast so I told my father “ I don’t know?”

This year inshallah I will be going Umrah again.

And it will be my fifth time going to Umrah Alhamdulilah.
