Umrah in Makkah


Makkah is a most respectful and lovely city all over the world for Muslims. All over the world Muslim come to visit and Makkah and perform umrah that's why now Makkah becomes metropolitan city there are many local and international companies in all over the Makkah some 3 star to 7 star hotels are also present in Makkah. If you get chance to visit Makkah you will see that there is a new world settled where millions of people come and leave every month. There is camp site and temporary apartments where umrah and hajj performer stays for some time. There is animal market from where people buy animal to sacrifice their animal in the way of ALLAH.

When we plan to perform umrah i have booked cheap umrah packages for my whole family we take off from Lahore airport and before our plane inter in the territory of Meeqat we dressed our Ihram because it is compulsory to wear Ihram before entering in Meeqat no matter you are in plane. After Meeqat out plane inter in to Jeddah airport from where we have sit on bus available by the government of Saudi Arab. When we reach near Khana Kaba my father lose passions of waiting he just hand over all of luggage’s to me and inter in Masjid Haram with reciting dua and pray two rakaat of Namaz and lay down and took deep breaths in the atmosphere of Khana Kaba after managing all of our luggage i also come to Masjid Haram and make my mind in peace by seeing Khana Kaba with my real eyes.
From the next day we start our umrah performance which are Tawaf, seeing and touching stone, and Saae (drink water from zamzam well). I will let my readers on next blog the complete Umrah procedure and umrah performance.

After backing from umrah performance we plan to visit the holy places in Makkah so we took a private van, one of my father's friend have arrange those van first we visit the Cave Hira where Muhammad S.A.W.W stays for worship many other Muslims were also came to visit Hira cave. After that we move to Jabal-e-thur where Muhammad S.A.W.W stays with his true companion Hazrat Abu-bakkar R.A during the migration. It is famous that spider covered the face of cave with her thick net. After that we move to Makkah museum where we have seen many historical and holy stuff of old Makkah state. Finally we got tired and back to over rooms with lot of memories which i captured in my camera and in my mind. Umrah travel is one of my memorable travels of life although I have visited all over the world but I found peace and faith in Makkah.
