Mom left for Umrah

After rescheduling her Umrah trip since last December, finally her trip was confirm for 04-Apr-2011. We were there at the airport to see her off. Mak Lang, Mak Nyah and Cikgu Sulaiman also joined this trip.
Mom, myself,hubby, Mak Lang, Sheri.

For those who are not familiar with the term Umrah, I quote the following from Wikipedia for easy understanding. (Credit to Wikipedia.)

'The Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time of the year. In Arabic, Umrah means "to visit a populated place". Umrah means to perform Tawaf round the Kaaba and Sa'i between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, after assuming Ihram (a sacred state), either from a Miqat like Zu 'l-Hulafa, Juhfa, Qarnu 'l-Manāzil, Yalamlam, Zāt-i-'Irq, Ibrahīm Mursīa, or a place in Hill. It is sometimes called the 'minor pilgrimage' or 'lesser pilgrimage', the Hajj being the 'major' pilgrimage and which is compulsory for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. The Umrah is not compulsory but highly recommended.'

If I m not mistaken, this is mom's second Umrah. Insya Allah, mudah mudahan Mom mendapat berkat semasa mengerjakan umrah. Amin.
