Day 02: Makkah — The First Umrah, my soul felt at home...

 “First day of Umrah - a heart full of tawakkul, a soul in need of His mercy...”

(Our first umrah)

Day 02: 22/01/26 (Thursday)
Activity: Makkah 1st Umrah
Hotel: Safwah Hotel Mekkah


Sleep was scarce, and we woke slightly groggy, but Subuh at the musolla in Safwah Tower steadied our hearts. After a hearty breakfast, we prepared ourselves for our first Umrah, guided calmly by our tour leader.

Tawaf was performed at the Mataf area, followed by sa‘ie on the first level of Mas‘a. Each ritual was carried out with intention. Every step accompanied by quiet prayers. The crowd was dense, yet the cool morning air brought a refreshing clarity to both body and mind. By Allah’s grace, our first Umrah was completed smoothly and with unexpected ease.

Back at the hotel, a cool shower and much-needed rest revived our weary bodies. As evening fell, we performed Maghrib and Isya on the rooftop. With Friday approaching, Masjidil Haram was filled to the brim. Locals and pilgrims from every corner of the world, all drawn by the same call.

Tonight, we retired early, hoping that a deep sleep would restore our tired muscles. Our body and soul humbled, and quietly content.

Tired bodies rested easily, while our hearts felt calm and full. The first Umrah was completed with grace, each step a quiet reminder that ease comes from Him alone.
