starbucks at nabawi mosque

Starbucks Corporation is an American multinational chain of coffeehouses and roastery reserves headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It is the world's largest coffeehouse chain.But there so many franchise that open around the world.when i was going umrah at saudi arabia,i never think that at madinah and mekkah have starbucks.when i find out theres have starbuck at there,i really shock because there something different with starbuck at saudi arabia and starbuck at malaysia.

the starbuck i went is starbuck at nabawi mosque.the reason why we choose starbuck because of the climate at there was cold so we need a hot drink so we choose starbuck at the same time we wanna know if there something different with others starbuck.at that time i was order hot chocolate and my dad order hot caramel macchiato.when we order the beverage,the way that barista serve us is still same with others starbuck.its just the different is the langguage cause at there,their use arabic langguage.after we got the drink,that barista told us that there have another one starbuck restaurant at there.

The next day,after we sholat at nabawi mosque,we continue to the starbuck that barista told us with this time i go with my mom and my dad,it was new thing because at there,their not put malaysia ringgit at their board menu price.their use riyal because that is curreny of saudi arabia.and there some new menu for that i know at there.its totally different menu with starbuck malaysia.

when my mom try the drink,i ask my mom what the different starbuck at there with starbuck malaysia.and she said its nothing different.the drink still same and delicious with starbuck malaysia.the service that their serve is so nice and good and the barista so polite with their customer.we actually wanna try the food but we don't know what best food that we should try.so we decide just buy their beverages.

Summary

Lastly,theres no big different with starbuck at malaysia and starbuck saudi arabia.The service is still same and the barista serve us with politely same with barista of starbuck in malaysia.but its a new expirience for because the environment at there is different and thats make me always be remember that moment forever

Haziq's travelogue umrah

  

Asssalamualaikum,

Hi! How are you doing? Alhamdulillah, this time I'd like to relate my longest vacation in my life, which lasted 11 days and 9 nights and was accomplished by undertaking Umrah. Al-quds is a travel agent. So, let's get to my trip recap, shall we?

First day - 16 january 2023(Monday)

My flight was at 3 a.m., so I arrived at 10 p.m. Barai weyh does not want to wait. Hahahaha. I've already flown three times, including this one. To the UAE, Sabah, and now this time. Etihad, Airasia, and this time, Saudi Arabia are the other three carriers. When I got on the plane, it reminded me of Etihad to Mas, but the news seemed good because there was no TV and blankets were provided, so it was an 8-hour flight, but happily, I was sitting by the window, so I could see the view. However, this Saudi is no less wonderful because the food is tasty and plentiful.Eat until you feel bloated.hahaha

After 8 hours of travel, we landed at Madinah Airport at 7 a.m. This is 5 hours behind Malaysia. If it is 7 p.m. in Malaysia, it is 2 p.m. here. The immigration process in this country is quick and generally smooth. Then I just got out of the airport, and it's freezing!!! Then proceed to the hotel near the Nabawi Mosque, Gate 25 (the door nearest to the mosque's women's entrance). Hotel Bahauddin in Madinah (excellent meals three times a day). Because I just told you, today is free. I didn't know where to go when I first walked to the mosque because it was so large, so I entered through door 21. It's only a short distance from door 25.If you plan on visiting the Prophet's Mosque, bring a bag to keep your slippers in case you lose them. The hour is Zohor in this mosque, but I still don't know where the Prophet SAW's tomb, Raudhah, and Baqi's graveyard are.

Second day - 17 january 2023(Tuesday)

Today we go around the mosque. Go to the Baqi' graveyard first. We say hello to the Arab cops here. Because you remember that it's all heresy. Then ustaz will show us the location of the Prophet's tomb. We went ahead and greeted Allah's Messenger. At the Prophet's tomb, they huddled. I wanted to enter Raudhah this time, but I couldn't since there were too many people praying, so I turned back.

third day - 18 january 2023(Wednesday)

God provided me with food for morning prayer at Raudhah on Wednesday. I can't believe I can sit there for circumcision prayers, beitikaf, and reading the Quran for more than 2 hours. The funeral prayer (and fact all required prayers) are held directly in front of the Prophet SAW's mihrab. Alhamdulillah. I went to bed that morning and dreamed I was praying in front of the mihrab before waking up. I sent my thoughts long and straight to the Raudhah region.

forth day - 19 january 2023 (thursday)

Today we will go to the Quba Mosque. Pray the 2 rakat sunat that you have previously done ablution from the hotel since the reward is equivalent to performing one umrah. Although the commodities are inexpensive here, if you find a non-Arab youngster selling rosary beads, do not give them as alms. We then proceeded to a date farm. You want to eat as much as you want here, so eat it. However, if you want to take it out, you must pay. Dates bear fruit only in the summer. So much to say. Hahahaha. If you want to buy dates or chocolate, go to the stores near the hotels near the Nabawi mosque because they are cheaper and easier to haggle with. We then went to Bukit Uhud.Subhanallah, the view is breathtaking. After eating at the Martyrs', climb Ruma hill (archer's hill), which is quite high. As a geology student, I was also taken aback because there were two stones, one black and one red (he stated marble) - the stone has since vanished. It's fine to buy products here because they're cheap. Then, during the Battle of Khandaq, we just passed by The Seven Mosques and the trench region. We went to the Al-Quran Museum in the afternoon, which is close to the Prophet's Mosque (we walked there from the hotel). After Maghrib, I dashed to the door in front of the imam's mihrab (i forget which door) since there would be a burial prayer and the corpse will be brought out of that door (hearts will be fighting since the prize is equivalent to one qirat - Uhud mountain, so many will accept the fadilat) Alhamdulillah, thank God for nourishment to be able to carry the body for the first time in life and bury the dead at the Baqi cemetery'. Mashallah, the stone is hefty. My leg was somewhat injured.

fifth day - 20 january 2023(friday)

link: masjid quba

God provided us with the opportunity to pray Friday at the Prophet's Mosque on this day. This time, though, I prayed on top of the Prophet's Mosque. At the time, I only knew the Prophet's Mosque had a prayer room above because my father showed me the path to it. Father, I'm used to it, and I already know that on Friday, there will be more people than usual coming to pray at the Prophet's Mosque. So we elected to pray higher to avoid congestion when entering and exiting the mosque. And right now is the last day. We've  in Medina.so here we have to do Wada Pilgrimage, since I need to leave Madinah to complete the Umrah. Visit the Bir Ali Mosque (Zul Hulaifah) to perform Ihram. Madinah, all the way to Mecca, is fertile like Malaysia, with rivers, lush hills, and flora. Because Mecca is so far away, it takes 6-7 hours to get there. When you arrive at the hotel, please be patient because there is a technical issue. The Al-Safwah Orchid Hotel is the closest hotel to the Grand Mosque in Mecca, but stay overnight because the next day is at the Dar Al-Ghufran Hotel. Because both hotels are in the same building near the tall clock tower, it's close enough to walk to the mosque. But I'm exhausted.

Sixth day - 21 january 2023(saturday)

After we arrive at hotel in mecca,we continue to perform umrah at that day.we we complete the pillars of Umrah like Tawaf 7 times around the Kaaba and immediately after that we stop at the side of the Tawaf route to do the Tawaf circumcision prayer and pray right in front of the Kaaba. I was stunned when I first saw the beauty of the Kaaba and intended to do this Umrah with all my heart .then we continue with the next pillar which is saie 7 times from Bukit Safa to Bukit Marwah. After we finish Saie we continue to complete the Umrah pillar which is shaving. At that time we were very tired but the fatigue was very worth it. After we performed Umrah we went straight back to our hotel for rest and sleep.

Seventh day - 22 january 2023(sunday)

We travelled to Jabal Tsur first, then to Padang Arafah and Jabal Rahmah. Go up a short distance, but remember where the bus stops because there are people coming down the hill who have lost their way. hahaha. We were then brought to Mudzalifah, Mina, Masya'ril Haram, and Jamarat. To perform the second umrah, leave the intention of ihram in Ja'ranah. We passed via Jabal Nur on our way to Mecca.

Eighth day - 23 january 2023(monday)

on this day,I was able to do Fajr at Tawaf Square because I awoke 2 hours before the call to prayer because I was here to do Tawaf Wada' to go to Taif. The trip to Taif takes about 2-3 hours. We eat talam when we get at Taif. Mandy dying rice is delicious. The air is extremely chilly, even colder than Cameron Highlands. We were taken to the fruit market after we finished dining. It's inexpensive, plus there are fruits I've never tried or eaten before. Pomegranates, oranges, lemons, grapes, berries, corn, strawberries, kiwis and cactus tree fruits are all available. We then went to the rose farm. Enter and sample the rose tea water. Delicious and aromatic.

ninth day - 24 january 2023(tuesday)

on this day,we have free time so we decide to meet our family for sabah that live at mecca.at first i was don't know that i was have a family that live there.i shocked because there can speak three languages at same time which is arabic,indo and bajau which my race.even i stay at sabah for 20 years,i still ain't able to speak bajau hahahaha.but i was happy that i have family at there and its a new expirience for me in my life.

tenth day - 25 january 2023(wednesday)

This our last day at mecca,so we was going to do tawaf wada' before we fly back to malaysia.at this time we use scooter because we saw people use this while we go to umrah for first time.their charge this scooter for 59 riyal for one person.its good way if you want to less energy to do umrah plus its really fun use the scooter for tawaf and saie.after we do tawaf wida',i was pray and hope i can come again here with my family again.

eleventh day - 26 january 2023 (thursday)

At this time, we checked out and left from the hotel in Mecca to Jeddah airport after dawn because our flight was at 10 am in Saudi Arabia. We still used the same plane we used when we first landed in Saudi Arabia.it was beatiful airport and big airport and at there are so many restaurant that you can dine-in.

Summary

Thank you so much to Ummi for bringing me here. I don't know how to repay Ummi's good service. May Allah accept our umrah and pilgrimage. Amen. Alhamdulillah, all the things I can feel and do. I hope my family and I can go again. God willing. BEST VACATION EVER FOREVER!!! Hopefully you can also be invited to come to Mecca later:) Ameen.
