✨ Sabr (Patience) isn’t always quiet — sometimes it’s a whole journey within.
This reminder shows what patience can actually look like in real life:

1️⃣ Crying but still being grateful to Allah
2️⃣ Holding onto hope even in the darkest moments
3️⃣ Feeling like giving up but choosing one more step
4️⃣ Expressing your grief and pain to Allah
5️⃣ Making du’a even when nothing seems to change
6️⃣ Feeling frustrated but controlling your reaction

Sabr is not about being emotionless — it’s about trusting Allah through every emotion. 🤍

May Allah grant us patience, strength, and contentment. Ameen 🤲🏼

📍 Understanding the Sacred Miqats 🕋

The miqat boundaries are sacred stations where pilgrims enter into the state of ihram before performing Umrah or Hajj. Each location serves pilgrims traveling from different directions:

🔸 Dhul Hulaifah (Madinah) - For those coming from Madinah
🔸 Al-Juhfah - Western route pilgrims
🔸 Jeddah - Modern entry point
🔸 Qarn al-Manazil - Pilgrims from Najd
🔸 Yalamlam - Southern route travelers
🔸 Dhat ’Irq - Pilgrims from Iraq

⚠️ Important Reminder: If you intend to perform Umrah or Hajj, you must NOT cross the miqat boundary without entering the state of ihram.

These boundaries encircle the blessed city of Makkah, marking the threshold where every pilgrim’s spiritual journey begins. Make sure you know your miqat before embarking on this sacred journey! 🤲✨

🌿 A House in Jannah 🌿
The Prophet ﷺ taught us a beautiful promise:
Whoever consistently prays 12 voluntary rak’āt each day, Allah builds a house for them in Jannah.
— Al-Tirmidhi

These Sunnah prayers—before and after Fajr, Dhuhr, Maghrib, and ‘Isha—are small acts with unimaginable reward. A daily opportunity to draw closer to Allah, strengthen your Salah, and invest in your eternal home.

May Allah make us among those who never miss these blessed rak’āt and grant us a home in Paradise. 🤲✨

The Main Gates of Masjid Al Haram:

Masjid Al Haram, the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, is accessed through several major gates that serve millions of pilgrims annually. Here are the main gates highlighted in this architectural overview:

King Abdullah Gate (Gate 100)
Located on the western side of the mosque, this gate was constructed during the third Saudi expansion and officially opened in 2015. It’s one of the newest and largest gates, designed to accommodate the increasing number of pilgrims.

Al Fath Gate (Gate 45)
Positioned on the northern side, Al Fath Gate (meaning “Victory Gate”) was developed as part of the Saudi expansions in the late 20th century, with major renovations completed in the 1980s-1990s.

Umrah Gate (Gates 62/63)
Found on the southwestern side, these gates were established during the second Saudi expansion in the 1980s and are primarily used by those entering to perform Umrah.

King Fahd Gate (Gate 79)
Located on the southern side, this prominent entrance was constructed during King Fahd’s expansion project and opened in 1988. It remains one of the most recognizable and widely-used gates.

King Abdullah Aziz Gate (Gate 1)
Situated on the southeastern side, this historic gate was originally part of earlier structures and was renovated and expanded during the first Saudi expansion under King Abdul Aziz in the 1950s, with further modernization in subsequent decades.

These gates represent different eras of the mosque’s expansion, collectively facilitating the smooth flow of millions of worshippers throughout the year.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
