I finally finished my little account of Umrah. So for those who have been asking (pestering..se7en!) check  it out at [url]http://www.jannah.org/hajj[/url] inshallah.
It's not a fiqh manual, just some thoughts.

Jannah, definatly kudos to you for that awesome awesome diary of the Umrah masha Allah :)

I think it pushes everyone (certainly me) who reads it to want to go for Umrah and Hajj :)

Jazakallah khair,

I took a few of them, the rest are postcards!

I pray that all of you get a chance soon to visit the holy cities. It is truly a gift from Allah that you can never repay. I definitely didn't deserve it but am thankful I had the opportunity.

BTW br mokhtar talked about the rawdah today in class ..amazing..sigh you know the hadith of the prophet [saw]:

[i]Between my house and my mimbar is a garden from the gardens of paradise.[/i]

well another narration also continues:

[i]and beneath my mimbar is my howdah[/i]

the howdh being the lake/pond of rasullullah [saw] that the believers will drink of in jannah

someone smart, i won't mention names (se7en) made a beautiful comment about how this could mean that those who seek to drink of the howdh should seek what rasulullah [saw] taught from the mimbar.

And for those fortunate enough to have been there, it makes us want to go again. ;-)

Jazakallah khair for sharing Sr jannah. That picture of the door to the Kabah is awesome!

[quote]DO NOT look at pictures of the Kaaba before you go. From now until you see it with your own two eyes It RUINS the impact it has on your heart. [/quote]

This was surprising to read.  Is that really how people feel?

This was advice from br jawadio to me (he's on the board rarely). I think it was good advice.

Jannah-which pictures did you take? (obviously not the satellite ones!!hehe)
Are we allowed to take cameras into the Haram itself?

No cameras allowed in the haram. They search you and your bags. The pictures I took are scattered throughout the narrative. Basically all the one's besides the "postcard" looking ones.
