Maryam had always dreamed of performing Umrah. Since her university days, she carried this desire quietly in her heart. Life, however, kept placing obstacles in her path family responsibilities, bills to pay, and a demanding job that left little room for personal dreams. Yet, in the stillness of the night, when the world was asleep, Maryam often raised her hands in du‘a:
“Ya Allah, write for me the honor of visiting Your Sacred House.”
At first, it seemed impossible. She would wonder: How can I ever afford it? When will I ever have the time? But every coin she dropped into her small savings jar carried the weight of hope, faith, and her whispered prayer.
One evening, after a particularly exhausting day, Maryam sat with her Qur’an. As she read the verses describing Ibrahim’s call to humanity to come for Hajj, her eyes welled with tears. It felt as though Allah was directly reminding her: “The door is never closed. Keep your intention alive.”
Months later, Maryam stood at the airport, ticket in hand, traveling with 3SixtyIslam Travels. The journey that had once felt so distant was now reality. When she finally entered Masjid al-Haram, the sight of the Ka‘bah overwhelmed her. She wept, realizing that a simple prayer, coupled with patience and determination, had brought her here.
For Maryam, the journey was more than a trip; it was proof that no dream is too far when Allah wills it. What began as a du‘a in the quiet of her room had become the greatest journey of her life.
🌙 Every pilgrimage begins with a prayer. Every step you take towards Allah is met with His mercy. Never underestimate the power of your niyyah.
