My Journey

Early morning in Mecca. Man, I miss this sight... #Umrah #Ramadan #Mecca #Kaaba #Islam (at المسجد الحرام مكة المكرمة)

On the road from Mecca to Madinah once upon a time. Ya Allah allow us to return to Your House and allow us to visit the city of the Chosen One. #Umrah #Mecca #Medina #Kaaba #Highway #Sunset (at Madina, Makkah Highway,Saudi Arabia)

Some days you stay up all night hoping to see a beautiful sunrise, but the never ending grey skies have their own charm. #Europe #Grey #CobbledStreets #Summer #summer2k16 #Holidays (at Charles Bridge)

So simple, yet so beautiful. #Turkey #Ottomans #Horseshoe #architecture #symmetry #Historical

Shining bright in the night sky. (at Eifel Tower)

A rather grey old evening in Vienna. (at Vienna, Austria)

Jummah today at the incredible Sultan Ahmet Mosque, more commonly known as the Blue Mosque. (at Sultanahmet Camii (Sultan Ahmed Mosque - Blue Mosque) Istanbul, Turkey)

One of my favourite things to do when travelling is to buy a mug, to remind myself of my journey. Here's the latest addition to my collection. #HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs #ILoveMecca

A land like no other, chosen above all others, the land of Abraham and the birth place of Al-Mustafa, the Chosen One (peace and blessing be upon him). Abraham laid the foundations of this modest little structure that stands in the heart of Mecca like a magnet drawing to itself millions who strive to stand in its shade. Upon completion, along with his son Ishmael, Abraham prayed: "Our Lord! Accept this from us! Indeed you are the Hearing, the Knowing. Our Lord! Make us Muslims (in submission) to You and from our descendants a nation devoted to You." [2:128] (at مكة المكرمة - الكعبة)

A place like no other. Thousands circle it every hour of the day, millions adorn their homes with pictures of it, while over a billion face it five times a day in prayer. A place connecting those from the East to the West, North to South. It is truly God's House. (at مكة المكرمة - الكعبة)

The Prophet of God (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “Verily your Lord is Generous and Shy. When a servant raises their hands to Him, He feels shy to send those hands back empty handed.” #Last10 #JustDuaIt (at المسجد الحرام مكة المكرمة)
