Traveling is fun. You have to know the right way to pack & it is great to travel to more than one country at a time which i have done many times. Come back. Share with me your travel experiences too. Happy Traveling. My Visit to England, Denmark, Germany, Cyprus, France, Lebanon and Egypt.       Copenhagen-Denmark.                                                                       Amalienborg Palace-Denmark. It was a very nice experience for me to visit these countries. I have visited many of the Islamic Center of England and I was very happy to see that how rapid they are progressing in Islamic Teachings and Daa'wah activities. My last visit to these countries was in August 2001. I am deciding to Visit Netherlands and Maldives this year (2004), but yet saving my money . hehehehe.  In England, i have stayed in The Cumberland Hotel which is on the Edware Street in London. I found the people friendly in United Kingdom. I have experienced lot of funny events there. Just I want to say that England is very much better than American countries and Denmark got a very beautiful environment. My Voyage to My Favorite Place On Earth, Meeca, Home of the Kabbah Mashallah, by the grace of God. I have been able to travel with my big family of 5 to the house of Allah; the Kabbah more than 15 times. 22 times for Umrah and twice for Hajj. We went for Hajj in 1987 and 1994. My last visit for my Umrah was on 28th August 2003. It was my most amazing trip of my life, especially Hajj. There were 2 million people praying to one God, Allah non-stop. It spiritually and mentally cleansed me. All a person wants to do is stay all day and all night praying, asking Allah to forgive me for my sins, praying for everyone I know, and crying cause I felt and am so blessed. Journey of Hajj Islam means acknowledging the oneness of God, surrendering to it, cooperating with the way things are. Being a Muslim, God is as near as the veins in my neck. During the Hajj each year, millions of faithful come to Mecca. The men and women wear simple lengths of unstitched cloth. The garments are a symbol. The person who wears them agrees not to harm plants and animals or fellow pilgrims. No arguments, no violence. We agree to keep the peace. The garments are a great leveler too. Who can tell rich from poor? Millions Descend on Mecca Here I join people from all over the earth, all these human beings drawn together by the call of an idea, by the oneness of God. We have left daily life behind and come to a place hardly belonging to this world, a place filled by the almost tangible presence of God. To preserve its sanctity and protect pilgrims, the sacred territory around Mecca is forbidden to all but Muslims. It lies hidden in the mountains of Saudi Arabia 50 miles from the Red Sea, a modern city of 1.2 million people. To walk around the block in Mecca is to walk around the world. I step out the door and for 15 yards, I’m in Indonesia. Down the street past a couple of stores and it’s Africa. Pakistan is just around the corner and then I’m in Bangladesh. A vast majority of the world’s one billion Muslims—80 percent—now live outside the Middle East. There are more than five million in the United States. The Hajj goes on inside the hearts and thoughts of each of us. There is an old proverb—before you visit Mecca, it beckons you. When you leave it behind, it calls you forever. My Journey to Cairo and Luxor in Egypt Egypt is a beautiful Islamic city with a lot of history. People are baffled to this day with the pyramids, but I find the Muslim history very interesting too. It was amazing praying in such an ancient mosque that still exists after hundreds of years. This mosque as you can see is quite exquisite. We enjoyed taking about ride down the river Nile, visiting the Cairo Museum, and visiting the tombs for King Tut, the queens and kings in Luxor.   Back to Top
