MADINAH
July 11, 2021 – July 14, 2021
You can feel the magnetic pull of the resonating call to prayer
As you walk purposefully towards Masjid Al Nabawi, responding to the echoing call to prayer, clearing your mind of all distractions, preparing to engage with your Lord, All-Hearing
MAKKAH
July 14, 2021 – July 18, 2021
As you walk slowly towards it and then suddenly, it takes your breath away
The world is full of unique and wonderful buildings, but the utterly indescribable feeling that you get from seeing the Ka’bah, performing tawaf around it, praying towards it, is like no other.
Manasik of Hajj
July 18, 2021 – July 23, 2021
The blessed days where millions converge with one sole purpose
Surrounded by fellow Muslims, all in the state of ihram, standing with hands outstretched, seeking forgiveness from our Lord, with anticipating hearts eager to receive.
JEDDAH
July 23, 2021 – Group Departure
Relax, drop your shoulders and put your feet up
Take some time to unwind and relax whilst you contemplate on the magnificent feat you have just completed. You’ve rejuvenated your soul, now allow your body to catch up before you return home, completely recharged.
I’m deeply thankful for all your kindness in assisting and guiding through this journey. May Allah bless you and all your loved ones with the best in this world and the next Ameen JAK.
Thank you Dar El Salam for everything you have been amazing in every way and may Allah bless you and jazakom Allah Khairan .
