Assalamo Aleikum
I have just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia where I have performed the Umrah, visited the prophet's mosque and I must say that the West is not really aware of the goodness of the East. Even us as Muslims we get caught up and are very strict on our Muslim brothers and sisters in the East calling them backwards and away from Islam, however that is not the case. We tend to be very strict on our brothers and sisters and it is not right. I have experienced the amazing love and gentleness of those people who we think always scream and are angry. I used to think like that but not any more. The guards at the Harram those who have to put up with the innovations of people, with the pushing and shoving at the black stone, with all the heat, they were very nice and welcoming. They did not hit anyone as we think, nor did they shout, but they only advised people. Are there exceptions? Of course, but that does not disprove the generic aspect of things. I met brothers and sisters from all over and subhn Allah we united based on Islam. We met Saudis who are so rich as to never have to worry about money, yet they were so pious and so God fearing, that I was impressed. I was impressed by their knowledge of Islam, while the elite of Christians societies have no clue about their own faith, nor do they care about it, being indulged in worldly things. I was really impressed by what I have seen there.
May God make the ummah strong.
Salamo Aleikum

Shamoun's Lowly Character
Sam thinks he can beat everyone in a debate and that he has already done so. Things have not even happened yet he can predict with certainty outcomes. He thinks no one can answer him. Check out a list of answers right here.Click and Order Today

So true. Hajj/`Umrah is most definitely one of the best experiences especially in terms of unity.
May Allah bless you and Accept your Umrah Jibreel and pray for us please for being good persons in Allah's straight Path
masha Allah, Umrah maqbolah en sha'a Allah :)
honestly I was shocked to know that our sisters and brothers wud think that about us but I'm glad u changed ur mind. We love our muslim sisters and brothers especially those who r converts, or as I'd rather call them reverts :), I get excited every time I meet a new muslim in Makkah and I'd love to help them in any way I can, and I feel I cud say the same about most Saudis and other Muslims in the east.
May Allah bless u all. keep up the good work brother jibreel.
