Riyadh
Feeling soo good after Umrah.. sitting on brother’s glass desk now, the ceiling fan is on full speed and my long curls falling on my neck moving, and probably I’m gonna have my hair shaven today. We had gone into a few hair saloons yesterday after we returned and all of the barbers said, they didn’t have time and they are too busy before Iftar. It was yesterday, the day before Eid day.
Today woke up at 4 AM.. I heard the Azan, mother woke Dad up, I was still a sleep.. Brother walked into my room and said Assalam alaikum to Father and touched me and said, Kaleem.. utho namaz ka time hua amma ( Wake up it’s time for Namaz dear), Dad went into one bath room and brother was in another, I sat on the sofa holding the toothbrush with my eyes closed waiting for one of them to come out, dad came out and I went in.. About 30 seconds later, brohter knocked on the door and he said, they are leaving for Mosque, and I should follow them.
I got ready and left home, I already saw some people putting the Janimaaz on the sreets to set. The Mosque was already full and people started sitting on the streets. I quickly ran back home and asked mother to give me a Janimaaz and ran back home, I got a space on the street behind a parked car, lucky I got to join the Jamath and the last Rakath.

We drove all day and around 6:30 pm local time where there was a little town we stopped for Iftar.. the Sun was just setting and the view was spectacular in the desert and we stopped by the road in the desert area and all broke our fast. There was no pants anywhere to be seen, we could find some puddles of water here and there but no plants or any sight of the trees. Mostly dry sand for miles and miles and dusty sky with the sand raising up.
To break the fast, we sat in the sand by the Sunset and ate Dates, Oranges, Apples, Bombay mix, Figs, Apples, Pear fruits, Water, Juice, Yogurt drink.. I collected the orange’s seeds that I ate and then collected all the pear seeds and while we sat down I dug in the soil and put all the seeds here and there and watered it hoping for them to grow.. I send my love to all those seeds I planted and the plants to come.
We drove again, and we reached a road side restaurant run by the guys from Pakistan but they spoke clear Arabic and they offered free hot drink, bother and I went in while other sat inside the car, we bought 2 big boxes of Biryani, 2 Naan roti, 1 Chana Masala and 1 Tala hua gosh and then we sat by the road lights and by the desert and by the fence and we our dinner. it was a beautiful evening and I hoped I would see moon as soon as the sun was gone but alas we didnt but was a pleasant evening with the family.
