Madinah
If Makkah is the heart of the Islamic world, Madinah is its soul. The city exudes an overwhelming sense of peace, almost as if the spirit of the Prophet Muhammad lingers in the air. The Masjid al-Nabawi stands as a testament to Islamic architecture's beauty and the deep spiritual connection that Muslims worldwide feel for this place. The Green Dome that houses the Prophet's tomb is often the first thing that catches one's eye, but the tranquility that envelops you upon entering is what stays in your heart forever.
Here, history is not confined to books but is etched into the very landscape. The Uhud Mountain, the site of the famous battle, serves as a humbling reminder of the sacrifices made for the faith. The numerous mosques, like Masjid Quba and Masjid Qiblatain, each tell a story, making Madinah a city of narratives waiting to be explored.

Umrah Guide
Umrah consists of four essential practices. Firstly, you get changed into the Ihram garments before the Miqat, perform two Rakahs of Salah and make your Niyyah as the Miqat approaches, thereafter reciting the Talbiyah frequently. Secondly, you perform Tawaf al-Umrah of the Kaaba followed by two Rakahs of Salah, preferably near Maqam Ibrahim. Thirdly, you do Sa’i of Safa and Marwah. Lastly, you shave (Halq) or shorten (Taqsir) your hair allowing you to leave the state of Ihram and complete your Umrah.
