Eid Mubarak. Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum (May Allah accept it from you and us). In these blessed days may all pilgrims’ prayers and ours be accepted. May the prayers of all those facing hardships be accepted and I hope they find ease.

Today is the last year of 2025. There’s been highs and lows and sadly still too many wars being waged in this world. I pray that next year these come to an end and that people find peace and justice. Here are my favourite photos of 2025. May 2026 be a better one for us all. Happy New Year.

Eid-ul-Adha 2025/1446

Eid-al-Adha is the second Eid of the year that Muslims celebrate and coincides with the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and honours Abraham’s (pbuh) promise to God. This Eid will be celebrated with a heavy heart, thinking of those that are oppressed, facing wars and of those without families. In these blessed days may all pilgrims’ prayers and ours be accepted. May the prayers of all those facing hardships be accepted and I pray they find ease.

Eid Mubarak. Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum (May Allah accept it from you and us)

Umrah

Posted on February 18, 2025 by myeye1

I was fortunate enough to travel to Makkah, Saudi Arabia recently to complete an Islamic pilgrimage Umrah. Umrah is known as the lesser or minor pilgrimage that Muslims can complete at any time of the year. It was my first visit and I feel it was a blessed and easy one. It was amazing and quite emotional to enter The Sacred Mosque and see the Kaaba, the black cube that Muslims use as the direction to pray in.

I was then able to travel to the city of Medina to visit The Prophet’s Mosque, which was built by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and where he is buried. It was a beautiful mosque and I was able to pay my respects.

My trip to the holy cities of Makkah and Medina and to the two most important mosques in Islam was quite special and I hope one day to be able to go back. May Allah accept my Umrah and prayers, and peace to you all.
