Alhamdulillah, we arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the hottest time of day. A wave of emotion overshadowed the stroke of heat that hit our faces as we stepped out of the airplane and into Saudi ground.
Tears of gratitude swelling in my blood-shot, tired eyes.
Once everyone was finished with customs, we loaded our belongings in the buses that would take us from Jeddah airport to the blessed city of Medina. Before departing, we headed to the airport’s masjid and congregated for salat-ul Jumuah. Staying awake during the sermon and prayer was in itself a challenge as exhaustion set in.
As we prepared to leave for Medina, we were unable to find two sisters and waited for a couple of hours without any success. Eventually we departed, longing to arrive at the city of light.
