For the last two years, 2025 and 2026, my birthday was celebrated in Makkah and Madinah. And I believe this was the best gift from my parents to me.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2025, when I was 6 years old, on 7 August, we were in Madinah, and on that day, I travelled to Makkah to perform my first Umrah. That was the most blessed day for me because I was in both of the holy places on my birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n My mother and I made some goodie bags and distributed them to children in Madinah and Makkah. My little brother and I both distributed them to children who came with their parents to the Haram.<\/span><\/p>\n After that, my father took me to the hairdresser to cut my hair and complete my Umrah journey. On that day, after I completed my first Umrah, my father treated me to my favourite food, Albaik.<\/span><\/p>\n That was the most blessed day for me. And the same next year, when I was 7 years old, I celebrated my birthday in Madinah.<\/span><\/p>\n These two years were the most precious and blessed for me. I pray for all the students that they have their birthdays in these most blessed places.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
