In early January 2020, I embarked on a life-changing journey with my beloved mother — our Umrah pilgrimage. It was a trip filled with spirituality, emotion, and unforgettable moments that will stay with us forever.
Our journey began in Madinah, where we stayed for four peaceful and blessed days. The city, known for its calm and spiritual atmosphere, welcomed us with open arms. Walking through the serene streets of Madinah and offering prayers at Masjid Nabawi felt like a dream. One of the most touching moments was being able to visit the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Standing there in prayer and reflection brought an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude.
While in Madinah, we also had the opportunity to meet the sister of my friend, who had been living in the city with her husband for many years. She warmly welcomed us and kindly took us around to explore the beautiful corners of Madinah. Thanks to her, we saw a different side of the city — not just the famous landmarks, but also the quiet, charming places filled with local life and deep spiritual energy.
After our days in Madinah, we continued our pilgrimage to Makkah to perform the Umrah. The moment we entered the Masjid al-Haram and laid eyes on the Kaaba, our hearts were filled with awe and tears. One of the most unforgettable moments of the entire journey was being able to perform prayer in the first row (saf), so close to the Kaaba. It was an emotional experience that words can hardly describe — feeling so near to the heart of Islam, with my mother beside me.
This journey was not just a trip; it was a spiritual renewal and a precious time shared with my mother. Every moment — from walking in the footsteps of the Prophet to praying in the holiest places of Islam — left a lasting imprint on our hearts.
Looking back, I feel incredibly grateful for the chance to experience such a sacred journey. It reminded me of the power of faith, the beauty of togetherness, and the deep connection we have with the places that shaped our beliefs.
