Now that we are fully rested, it’s time to do some laundry. We haven’t been to Haram today. Shabana Mukhtar

Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 11
Alhamdulillah, the Hajj is complete. We are back to Makkah. Today, after some rest, we have come to Al Masjid Al Haram. The police isn’t letting people in, so we are waiting outside for this entry to be open. We stayed till Isha, packed a broast and ate in the middle of the street. Who…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 10
We are at Jamrat for Rami. We have decided to offer Zuhr at Masjid-e-Kheef. My sister and I are at the washroom for wuzu. We haven’t had our lunch, and we didn’t have much in our bags to feed us. On the way back, thankfully, we found a sabeel. Two men were serving kebabs and…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 9
While we are still at Al Masjid Al Haram, the 9th day (10th of July, 11th Dhul-Hajjah) has begun. We asked a hundred people of how to get to Mina, but everyone gives a different answer. Finally, we have found another group who will be travelling to Mina after their dinner. Here we are,…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 8
It’s time for Tawaf-e-Ziyarat. The sight as we walk from our camp in Mina to Azizia… 3 kilometers, ONLY. We are headed to Haram e Makkah for Tawaf-e-Ziyarat. This descent will take us to Azizia, where we hope to get a taxi for Al Majid Al Haram, Makkah. We are here, finally! Alhamdulillah! Every time…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 7
The Day of Hajj 1443H, finally! I don’t have enough words to describe the previous night, or this morning, or the time till this afternoon. All I can say is, it can only be felt, it can only be experienced once you are in the magical lands of Mina, Muzdalifa and Arafat. Shabana Mukhtar…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 6
Today is our first day of Hajj, first day at Mina tents. I always wondered what it would feel like to live in tents. Surreal, that’s how. I have lots of memories of this day, but nothing to show of it. I never even thought about clicking any picture. These five days are the most…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 5
Today, we will start our journey from Makkah to Mina. This is going to be fun and exciting, I hope. May Allah bless us with strength to do our best during these five days of Hajj 1433H. Amen. Shabana Mukhtar
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 4
So, Umrah is done, and we are told to rest. The group organizers want us to save our energies for the strenuous 5 days of Hajj 1443 ahead of us. I think they are right. Besides, I want to prepare for those 5 days. No matter how many times you read the books and notes…
Hajj 2022 Memories | Day 3
Day 3: Makkah Outside our hotel. It’s quite far from Al Masjid Al Haram ( ~2.5 kilometers). Just look at the view. I think since it’s related to Makakh, everything looks beautiful. Day 3: Haram Shareef And the view from ground floor. It was just me and sis, my brother had separated from us and…
