Travelog Umrah Day 6 & 7

On day 6, we took an extra Ziarah session, visiting the Haramain museum, a camel farm and the Hudaibiyah Mosque. The bus picked our groups at 2 pm. First stop was the Haramain Museum. It housed the relics of the two mosques. It was such an interesting museum, but we were only given 15 minutes for an exhibition that should take at least 45 minutes to finish because there's two more buses of visitors waiting (and I think they want to close for Solat Asr). Seriously, I don't get how these Arabs function! They don't seem to follow have any specific or common rules. Pening! 

This is how Masjidil Haram will look after the extension...
Imagine, in the future, you may not even be able to see the Ka'abah while you pray

Then we were off to one of the camel farm at the side of the highway on the way to the
Hudaibiyah mosque. Charming animals ;-) Final stop for the evening is the Hudaibiyah mosque. What's left was some of the old remnants of the mosque built during the Uthmaniah rule. A new mosque was built near the remnants.

On day seven, after Isya' my sis and I joined a ziarah trip to Gua Hira' at Jabal Nur. We started climbing shortly before 11 and reach the highest peak by 12. Imagine being in the spot where the Prophet first met Jibrail and received the first revealtion of the Qur'an. Too much adrenaline rush - well partly contributed from the Arab driver driving us partly to the base of Jabal Nur in his 'craze' fashion, (don't get me wrong - it was fun! hehe)  hiking without stretching, and trying to squeeze into the overly small entrance to the cave too ;-). They have know construct stairs up the hill, so it's not that dangerous, but rather tiring. We finally came down the hill at around 12.30. I actually slipped at one spot and sprained my right ankle. But later that night, I bandaged it tightly and did the same the next morning to avoid it from getting worst. It was alright by Subuh time.

Me ~ Dari mana datangnya kasih? Dari mata turun ke hati :-) Me and my addiction for the normal way of falling in love. Jabal Nur, instead of Jabal Rahmah is the perfect spot to fall in love! With? Everything...;-)
