Our Quest for Meaning often leads us to venture into the unknown, far from the familiar, into lands of hopes and aspirations. It is not the destination but the journey itself that gifts us what we are seeking.
Letters from The Two Cities is a recollection of one such journey, performed by millions of people every year, the journey to the Blessed Cities of Makkah and Madinah in the Arabian Peninsula. Whether as a Minor (Umrah) or Major (Hajj) Pilgrimage, the cities are sought as a place of spiritual retreat.
This blog aims to recollect the most cherished memories of 11 such pilgrims on their recent visit to the Two Cities and also of any pilgrim wishing to share their experiences.
We hope this can be a forum of reminders, discussion, self-evaluation and self-improvement in an environment of mutual love, trust and affection.
It is with much hope and anticipation that we launch this blog,
We pray that Allah (swt) accepts it as a small but consistent act from His repentant servants, an act through which we hope to inspire one another to strive our utmost to please Him (swt)
May Allah love you, guide you and accept your prayers,
Tasif
Great idea! Looking forward to the future entries brother!
