me against it but I was afraid she may be trampled. I held her close and she
smiled as my husband snapped a picture, ran over to the security office and
reported the case. He showed the picture to passers by anxiously. Seemed
hours until her aunt came. Verily, Allah didn’t want me to miss anything, He
led me to experience the anxiousness of Hajar with an abandoned child.
What a lesson of trust and love!”

Every single one was reciting the same dua:
“The moment most memorable for me out of my Umra experience, is most
definitely when we were making our way from Medina to Mecca. We stopped
at Al-Masjid al-Nabaw where we showered and prepared to continue our
journey to Mecca. Outside the mosque there were hundreds of other pilgrims
making the same journey as us, and what struck me the most was that every
busload had people off all types from all around the world, but for that one
moment every single one was reciting the same dua (prayer) verbatim, and
as more people exited the mosque and some began to enter, the dua was
never broken. I remember sitting in my father’s car completely amazed and
overcome by the beauty of the dua and the beauty of witnessing these people,
black, white, young and old come together for that one moment to praise and
pray to their lord.”
