Madinah

Yo! The beauty of Madinah is breath-taking. Subhan Allah! Below is a recent email I sent to a good friend about it (I'm posting it here b/c of the excerpts I copied and pasted):

"AA Bro,

I came across a blog that's being dedicated to the Rihla your wife is attending! Pretty cool, masha Allah. I read a few of the blogs and it makes you want to die to be there. Masha Allah, the ppl who wrote the blogs wrote it with such feelings (I thought). Check out this excerpt:

"I am so happy to be here, Alhamdulillah. I feel like Allah has chosen and invited me out of thousands that wanted to come. We are being treated like royalty. We are being taken on tours that dignitaries are taken on. It started out bumpy with flight issues but Subhanallah, it is by the wisdom of Allah because such trials bring us closer to Him. Anything worth experiencing is indeed worth being trialed for."

Or this one:
"I have come to realize that the beauty and blessings of Medina include: the little sleep that feels like hours, the little food that keeps you full, and Zamzam that takes care of everything else."

Subhan Allah! ... Here's the blog address: http://q-rihla.blogspot.com/ "

Insha Allah, we all get the opportunity to go there and to be buried there as well.
