When one leaves for the Holy Land one performs Umrah or the Hajj. Umrah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umrah may be performed at any time while the Hajj can only be performed on the month of Hajj http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajj. I got the photo from a website. I will put my own photos there when I return.
I cannot explain how excited I am about leaving for the Holy Land. I am giddily excited and at times I am overwhelmed that I am one of the chosen ones to step into the Holy Land and performed the rites and prayers in the name of Allah SWT.
I cannot wait to spend my time in prayers seeking forgiveness for my many many transgressions over the years. I will share my step by step activities until I return.
Wassalam.
