Written by Syed Muhammad Saad Hassan VII -B
Performing Umrah with my family was one of the happiest experiences of my life. Before we went to the mosque, we had to wear a special garment called Ihram. It felt amazing to see thousands of people. Everyone looked equal, no matter where they came from or what was going on in their lives.
When we reached Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and I saw the Kaaba for the first time, I felt very happy and excited. I was thankful to Allah for giving me the chance to perform Umrah. We walked around the Kaaba seven times. It was tiring, but I felt happy because I was doing something very special.
We also walked between Safa and Marwah seven times. It was also a wonderful experience. We drank Zamzam water, which helped us feel fresh and gave us energy.
I will always remember this trip with my family. It was a peaceful and beautiful experience. I felt very thankful to Allah for allowing me to visit this holy place and see the Kaaba. These memories will always stay in my heart.
