AN EIGHT-member Umrah group from At-Taqwa Travel Tours Sdn Bhd agency visited the holy city of Makkah while worshipping the Masjidil Haram.
Among the places visited were the Two Holy Mosques Architecture Museum which displays a replica of Masjidil Haram before and after the expansions, and historical photos of Madinah in the past, among others.
The group also visited historic sites such as Jabal Thur which was the sanctuary of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
The delegation also performed Friday prayer at the Masjidil Haram.
AFTER several days at Madinah Al-Munawwarah, the eighth group of Umrah pilgrims under the At-Taqwa Travel Tours Sdn Bhd is now at Masjidil Haram Al-Mukarramah to perform Umrah.
The first tenet of Umrah is to have the intention to perform Umrah at Bir Ali Mosque, which is about 11 kilometres from the City of Madinah and 450 kilometres from Makkah.
Pilgrims are encouraged to don Ihram at the hotel to avoid time constraint.
Umrah pilgrims at the Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Madinah Al-Munawwarah are seen as guests of Allah the Almighty.
Therefore, guests of Allah the Almighty have the chance to perform as much Ibadah at both mosques to receive Allah the Almighty’s pleasure besides seeking spiritual peace.
