Again, post dari blog lama. Trip paling berharga dan bermakna dan
paling as in PALING banyak rintangan dan cabaran walaupun pakai khidmat
umrah operator
aka bukan pergi sendiri. Serious! Tapi taknak cakap
banyak coz nanti buruk naik nama orang lain plak kann. Mari positifkan
diri!

Last
March, I was on a religious tour to Arab Saudi. Well, not a tour in a
common sense, a pilgrimage tour or Umrah as known by the Muslims. I was
compromising on a free work travel to Abu Dhabi when I choose to go for
this 2 weeks of soul searching and worship travel. And nothing is wasted
along the way as I got even more than what I was looking for. Planning
to go again in 2012 with more family members and hopping to perform even
better. I wish shopping would not be in the list again as it got me
distracted even though I wasn't the one who did it. I was accompanying,
if 'informal guard' does not define the term exactly huhuhh....

Anyway,
it was a superb blessings not just because I am a Muslim but also
because of the beauty of the mosques, maqams and historical places. Who
says ibadah and prayers could only be performed under a decayed roof? Or
rotten wall? Hey... go to the Masjids in Madinah, Haram and Jeddah (juz
to mention a few from 10 000 others) and you'll know exactly what I
mean. Till today, I still can not believe that I've been to Masjidil Haram and
Nabawi to pray, doa' and recite the Quranul Karim there. Hrmm... I hope even though just a bit,
I've change to a better Muslim and better person since that visit.
Ameenn..!
