Blessing.

For a while, the days leading upto our Umrah, although i was so happy, inside i couldn't help but feel as though i didn't deserve to go. Yet Allah [swt] still had an invitation for me. And it was by His Mercy that i had the bestest 8 days of my life ever.

When you lay your eyes on the Ka'ba for the first time ever in your life, subhanAllah it is by far the most amazing feeling and the greatest blessing ever. Seeing the Ka'ba in pictures or on the television just isn't the same. People say you cry, but until you experience it yourself, you never know the reasons why.

As we walked down the path leading to the stairs in the Holy Mosque, as the Ka'ba slowly came into full view before my very eyes, Alhamdulillah that feeling inside is just indescribeable. When i first saw the Ka'ba, i cried. I cried out of happiness. Out of sadness. Out of seeking forgiveness. Out of awe and so much more. That feeling stayed with me throughout our whole Umrah and for the rest of the trip, subhanAllah.

There's nothing more i want right now than to be back in Makkah.
