Activity during in Mecca and Medina

I would like to share about my daily activity during in Mecca and Medinah.
I woke up at 03.00 a.m, then I took a bath. After that I prepared to go to Mesjid Nabawi if I was in Medinah and Mesjidil Haram if I was in Mecca. About 03.30 a.m I went to Mesjid, there I did worship as much as I can. When Subh time was coming, I did subh prayer together in the Mosque. About 07.00 a.m I went back to hotel and had breakfast on the first floor together with my travel group, including the group leader. After had breakfast, if Ustadz invited us to visit some historical places, so we prepared ourselve to go there, but, if no schedule for visiting those places, I went back to my room to take ablution and then went back to the Mosque.
Every entering to the Mosque, I always did Tahiyatul Mesjid prayer two rakaat, then, did other worship until the Dhuhur time was coming. We did Dhuhur prayer together.
About 02.00 p.m after Dhuhur prayer, I went back to hotel to have lunch together with my travel group. Then, I came to my room to take ablution and went back to the Mosque to do Ashr prayer. I still be there until Maghrib. After that, I did Maghrib prayer together. After praying Maghrib I did others worship until Isya’. Then, I did Isya’ prayer. After praying Isya’ I went back to hotel to have dinner together with my travel group. After having dinner, I came to my room and went to bed until 03.00 a.m.

That is my daily activity during in there which focus on worshipping because the main reason to be there is to do worship. How happy am I if I could be there for the long time. I felt very comfortable when I was there. I get closer to Allah and Rasulullah. There is no place which is comfortable if compared with Mecca and Medina. Besides worshipping, in Mecca and Medina also can visit the places which has the historical of Rasulullah. Hopefully, I and you who read my posting could be there again. Aamiin..
