The day has arrived , We meet in our masjid (Dar Ul-isra) sheikh Yaqoub brings a compete guide , may Allah reward his family who took the trouble of making the travel guides for us, a reminder after we pray our sunnah prayer for travel...... We finally leave , Alhamdullilah
We are late with a glitch to the plan, not a major one , the coaches do not arrive and we leave by vans towards our destination 30minutes late at 11:30 we head off towards London HEATHROW T3,
We read the history the history of the great plague that took the life of Abu ubaida bin jarrah (r.a) the companion of the prophet we read of muaz Ibn jabl we read of the battle of yarmok the mention of this, of Jordan valley the life of companions Burried there may Allah have mercy on their souls. We intend to say our Salam to them by visiting them there inshallah tomorrow
We read more about Al-quds the place sacred to Muslims the place sacred to Christians and Jews alike we read of it's 11 gates we read of the mimbar ( prayer stand) made by salahaddin and unfortunately distorted by a fire caused by a fanatic in 1969
We... To be honest cannot wait
We reach the airport ,.... The usual pleasantries. Check in.... The security of bearded men going in groups ... An experience but never the less pleasant
We board and we leave ....we say the prayer of traveller
