During my Umrah trip, I had the blessing of visiting Masjid Ayesha (Ra), also known as Masjid al-Tan’im, located just outside Makkah. This mosque holds great significance as it is where Ayesha (Ra) performed her Umrah and is often a place of prayer for those starting their pilgrimage. The mosque is peaceful, and the moment you step inside, you feel a deep sense of serenity and closeness to Allah (SWT). It is a place where many pilgrims come to pray and make dua before entering Makkah. I felt truly blessed to be there, offering my prayers in this historic and spiritually significant site. The atmosphere at Masjid Ayesha is both calming and spiritually uplifting, and it gave me a chance to reflect deeply before continuing my journey toward the sacred Masjid al-Haram. InshaAllah, I pray that I get the opportunity to visit again and gain even more blessings.
