Today at 10:00am,I was back from Mecca from performing Umra.It was fun at both Mecca and Madina.I also did the Tawaaf(round 7 times around the Ka'aba in Masjid(Mosque)-Al Haram).The people at Madina is very patient but at Mecca?Hmph,they all want to be first.Some people ask for donations infront of the Masjid(Mosque) Al Haram.We live in the Al Huda Karim hotel.The room is big enough,bigger than the Madinah Mubarak hotel's room but both of them are okay.Up there is a picture of the Ka'aba if you don't know what it is.One of the Five Pillars Of Islam requires every Muslim to perform the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in his or her lifetime if they are able to do so. Multiple parts of the Hajj require pilgrims to walk seven times around the Kaaba in a Anti-Clockwise direction (as viewed from above). This Circumambulation, the Tawaf, is also performed by pilgrims during the Umrah (lesser pilgrimage).However, the most dramatic times are during the Hajj, when about 60 million (officially) pilgrims simultaneously gather to circle the building on the same day.
