Our Trip to Madinah (Part 2)

We reached the hotel at 3 pm. As my father was fasting, so he went to sleep. At 6:30 pm, My father had his Iftar. On the first day of Madinah, we had rest in the hotel and then at Isha prayer time, we went to Masjid Al Nabwi to offer Isha namaz. My sister couldn't get an entry in the mosque, as she was young and according  to the covid guidelines, she was not allowed to enter the Masjid and thus, my father and sister offered the namaz outside the mosque.

Whereas my mother and me entered the Masjid Sehan (courtyard of the mosque) but couldn't enter the Masjid because I wasn't vaccinated and was young. 

                  Masjid Al Nabwi (Sehan)

The Sehan was very well maintained and clean. There were separate sections for offering Salah for men and women. There were fans and all the umbrellas were open to give everyone shelter. The area was filled with positive vibes and red coloured carpets were beautifully placed down for everyone to sit on it.

Firstly we saw the beautiful Sehan and looked for a place where we could sit. When we finally got a place to sit, we offered a two rakat namaz (prayer) to represent our happiness and to praise the beauty of Allah and The Masjid. Then finally we offered the Isha namaz and went in search of dinner.

THE FUNNY STORY OF DINNER IN MADINAH 

As Masjid Al Nabwi was very close to our Hotel Concorde Darul Khair, we went there on foot (by walking). When we offered Isha prayer, we thought of finding a restaurant which was nearby, so that we can have dinner and then finally come to the hotel room and rest. We started to move in search of a restaurant, where we could find a nice and tasty food. We kept on walking and walking and walking and we still couldn't find a proper place to have dinner. My sister and me were tired of walking and wanted to go to the hotel but my parents were still trying to keep both of us motivated to keep on walking until we find a place to have dinner. 

Finally after walking so much, we found this very very small restaurant where we had a curry and bread (naan). We got some energy after having the food but still it wasn't as much good as we had thought and was not enough to fill our stomachs. So once again we started to move in search of food. We asked almost a dozen of people this question that, ''where can we find a good restaurant?" Of course, there were different people, having different taste buds and hence they also had different answers. But fortunately, our luck was not so bad and then we found this restaurant named FINE RESTAURANT. 

Our first day of Madinah was a memorable day and was small but yet so long. I will remember this day my whole life.
