The Umrah Part 3 - Peaceful in Madinah


We were blessed with very cool Madinah weather while there. Malam dan subuh amat sejuk especially with the wind. It was anything like 9, 11 degrees then. During the day when the sun is up the temperature was between 17 and 22 degrees (the last time it was like 40degrees in Madinah. Namun masih terasa nyaman dan tenang).

We were on our way to pick up the jubah that my brother had made. This was after Isya' and it was windy and seriously cold (Masjid Nabawi lighted up behind us).

The jubah shop. It was so cold the tailor wore his winter coat in the store. He left us waiting in his shop when he went to fetch the ready jubah. Bila customer lain datang we shrugged and said we dont know the price, the shopowner just left us here.. (the beauty of the Islamic laws)

Ziarah Nasji Nabi (anak2 semua diaaam je masa ni, engrossed dengan cerita ustaz).

Masjid Quba'; masjid yang dibina di atas dasar taqwa. Dan masjid yang pertama selepas hijrah. Tiap Sabtu Rasulullah akan solat sunat di sini, samada berkenderaan ataupun berjalan kaki (kalau tak silap lebih kurang 8km dari bandar Madinah). Kata ustaz, jadi janganlah kita yang pergi umrah setahun sekali tak mahu berziarah dan solat di sini.

Bukit Uhud. Kata ustaz, Bukit Uhud berwarna kemerahan kerana darah para syuhada yang mengalir. Anak2 terdiam.

They climbed to the top of the hill.

I like his positive attitude.

Ladang kurma. Saya suggest beli kurma saja di sini. Barang2 lain mudah didapati di kedai2 berdekatan hotel dengan harga yang lebih baik (ziarah sekali ni tidak ke pasar kurma. Kalau itinerary ke pasar kurma, cari je lah semua di pasar).

Kata anak2, Madinah tenang. Aman. Seronok pergi Madinah. MasyaaAllah. AllahuAkbar.

Dan sesungguhnya nikmat Allah yang mana yang ingin kita dustakan?
