Masyaallah Tabarakallah, the second day in Saudi Arabia began with fervent enthusiasm among the overseas program participants. While savouring delicious meals at the Marriott Makkah Hotel, they prepared eagerly for the upcoming journey to Madinah.
With the permission of Allah, the next steps would lead them to the Islamic University of Madinah, where they would pursue knowledge and perform the sacred Umrah pilgrimage 🕋. This journey is not just about education but also about profound spiritual experiences and invaluable personal growth 📚.
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْراً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
“Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs ‘Umrah – there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good – then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.” (Q.S. Al-Baqarah [2]: 158)
Stay spirited, and believe that every step toward knowledge is a step toward goodness, May Allah continuously provide guidance and protection in every step they take, barakallahu fiikum!
