Travelog Umrah Day 10 - 12

Day 10 and 11 in Madinah were Ziarah days. We went to Masjid Qubaa, Jabal Uhud, Masjid Qiblatain and the Dates Market.

Masjid Quba'

Masjid Qiblatain

Masjid Nabawi - Maghrib time

For the past couple of days, I'd been in contact to met up with Prof Mohd Kamil Ibrahim. Earlier during day 10, he'd call to confirm our meet up later that night. So after Isya' we were picked up by Prof Kamil off to his house near Jabal Uhud. He'd given a short tazkirah for us and some insights how life was in Madinah. Sister Roza, Prof's wife cooked us Nasi Ozzie, with lamb and roast chicken. Sedapp ok!! Later, they were kind enough to bring us (me) to the local stores to get myself some baclavas. 

The next day, we joined another ziarah to the Magnet Zone and the Al-Qur'an printing factory. No women allowed in the factory. hmmm...Gender discrimination? I will skipped the Magnet Zone story - please google it up hehe... The rest of the day we just did some catching up with some friends and shopping :-) I was actually fasting on the second last day. Break my fast with some dates, had dinner after Isya' and later that night went to the briefing on Ziarah Wida' and our preparations in heading home. 

On the last day, around 7.15 am I joined Ustazah Hamidah's group visit to Raudhah again. Alhamdulillah, because it was not a Friday, we all had a longer time to spend inside Raudhah.

We had lunch, prayed Zuhur, and later went back to the mosque to wish our farewell to the Prophet (saw). We settled packing our bags soon after. With the new Saudi Arabia rules, packing seem rather problematic hehe...The rule was, one passenger must only have  one check-in luggage, errr hehehe...but we managed, after some tinkering :-P

I also did manage to pray Asr at the mosque, my last one and rushed back to board the bus to the airport. The bus left around 5 pm and reached the Madinah airport before 6 pm. We cleared the immigration by 7.30. Madinah airport was wayyyy better than Jeddah's airport. Alhamdulillah, all went well until we reached KLIA. In Sha Allah, someday soon, I will be back, Amin.
