Ziarah wida'

We do a lot of visit in Madinah. We went to Masjid Quba’ which is the first mosque build. It was stated whoever take ablution from home and manage to pray in the Masjid will be granted reward as performing one Umrah.

Jabal Uhud.

We prayed at upstairs where there is no crowd in the ladies section. Outside, there were many vendors selling frozen dates and normal dates. We then go to the Date Shop and Date Market to buy some dates. Our mutawwif recommend a date name Sukari. It was delicious.

At the market, we bought two types of dates to bring home – Sukari and Ajwa (Prophet’s date). We bought 5 kilos of Ajwa back home. We bought some rosary beads for souvenirs at Madinah.

For those who went to Umrah with Tabung Haji, your flight back home will be straight from Madinah Airport, therefore you don’t need to travel long to Jeddah Airport. On the last day, we do the Ziarah Wida or final visit to the Masjid. We packed our stuff and board the bus to airport.

Madinah Airport is small. Here in the airport, we just left our luggage and the airline will take care of it. We then board the 8 hour flight back to Kuala Lumpur. The flight back has some minor turbulence but not as rough as the arriving flight – or did I sleep so well I did not notice. We arrived safe and sound at the airport at noon.
