BEST YEAR: Weekend-engagement topic week 52

Hello Hive family specially members of #TheWeekend.
Thanks and appreciations to @galenkp for providing us interesting topics to share our views every week.

This post to dedicated to today's topic "Best Year" and I am going to share which one and why it was my best year.
My best year was 2017. In this year I traveled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to perform Umrah. Umrah is a payer which is completed by travelling to the sacred city of Mecca(Makkah).

It is a dream of every Muslim to travel to KSA for Umrah or Hajj which is fifth pillar of religion Islam. Every year Muslims in Millions reach to the sacred places of KSA ( Mecca and Medina) these places or nearest to the hearts of Muslims and we Muslims respect these cities more than anything in our life because it is our faith.

My travel to KSA begun from the Karachi city where our flight was scheduled departed. i, along with my family, departed about at 10:00 pm and reached KSA around 12:oo pm. After 2 hours of flight, we landed on the airport of Jeddah from where we took a private taxi to reach to Mecca. After reaching Mecca we had dinner and after dinner we performed our first Umrah(the prayer).

After few days we headed to Medina city to perform religious rituals. The Medina city is also the sacred place because our Prophet (PBUH) is buried there and love and respect of Prophet (PBUH) is in Muslim's faith.

Being a Muslim I enjoyed my time there because we Muslims are attached mentally and emotionally with these holly cities. There are still many places to visit like first mosque of Islam built by our Prophet (PBUH) by his own hands along with his companions or caves where our Prophet (PBUH) used to worship ALMIGHTY ALLAH. or many other historic mosques and places.

To conclude, 2017 was the year when my dream came true so I can not consider any other year as that one. I enjoyed my time being there and performing rituals of religion which are connected to every Muslims through emotions and mentally. Also it is my wish to be there, in KSA, once again to preform Hajj and Umrah again. If that happened that must be my best year to replace current one.
Hope You enjoyed my experience 😊
Note: Hajj and Umrah is not a single worship it is a process of worships.
Thank You for reading.
