It is said that Allah swt has placed a compass in every human that always points to Him. As we grow, worldly influences of parents, environment etc send us looking for happiness here and there.

May she say "labaik" one day, inshaAllah. Do share your memories of Azan and spiritual experiences in the comments section

So what ever you do don’t leave this behind! Those embarking upon Hajj or Umrah are embarking upon a Journey of life time – a Journey like none other! They must prepare mentally, physically, emotionally and most importantly spiritually. Allah says:
