Makkah Streets | Food & Travel | Arafat, Mina, Ghar e Hira & Saur | Ziyarats of Makkah

Assalam Alaikum My name is Zia Tabarak And right now I am in Makkah Makkah is the place where this world began Adam and Eve met here in the plain of Arafat The first house ever built was the Kaaba, which in Noah's flood was destroyed, then, Abraham PBUH was ordered by God to rebuild this house, and since then, people have been coming here for Hajj and Umrah and circumambulate around it God's mercy and blessings are showered here It is the house of Allah I'll try in this video to give out info and show around as much as possible and show the food courts here as well the restaurants and different kinds of cuisine I'll try to highlight those a bit as well I hope you all will like this video Let's start the journey to Makkah, Let's Go! All around the Grand Mosque, there are hotels and whichever hotel you stay in, do note that whenever you come here have patience in you because Hajj and Umrah are a lot of hard work Whichever hotel you stay in, however convenient it may be You would still have to do a lot of hard work But whatever hardships you face here, will not be in vain! So let's go and check out the breakfast here Usually we get eggs, parathas in breakfast and desi ghee, but actually, olives and other fresh stuff in breakfast is what we should have You can have Daal Chana here as well I really liked this dish that we have here It is like 'pheni' and we have nuts here too flavored yogurt Here's a dessert made with milk and rice and we have pineapples too This is the omelette station If your hotel doesn't have breakfast then you can go to the various shops/restaurants that are found all around the hotels But if you do have it in hotel, then there's less hassle And you can, directly after having breakfast, go to the Mosque, which is much easier.

Right now we're going to see around Makkah Saeed Bhai where are we going? First we'll go to the cave of Thawr This mountain right here is the Mount Thawr Right now we are near the cave of Thawr The cave was all the way up there at the top And when the pagans of Makkah persecuted the Prophet and his followers, He decided to migrate to Medina.

On the way, The Prophet, along with Abubakr (R.

A) hid in this cave because the enemies were chasing them, and then, God ordered a spider to put its web around the cave's mouth And when the enemies came to the cave they saw a lot of spider webs at the mouth and thought that no one could have gone inside So they left the cave.

For 3 days, The Prophet (PBUH) stayed here, and this place has a lot of significance in Islam So we found a subscriber here ! What's your name? My name is Muhammad Ali I'm from NJ, USA And I really enjoy Street Food PK videos Thank you so much, it was nice meeting you You're doing good work, keep it up! Saeed Bhai, we saw the cave of Thawr, where do we go now? Arafat.

So we are gonna see all the places involved in Hajj We are near the plain of Arafat On both sides, we have trees and parking Here, the people performing Hajj stay in camps and during hajj the whole plain becomes white due to the camps Right now I am at the plain of Arafat And right behind me you all can see The 'Mount of Mercy' The Prophet PBUH delivered his Hajj sermon from there He only did one Hajj in his lifetime and the whole essence of his message was delivered in that sermon people come in normal days here for visits and pray on the Mount of Mercy Near the Mount of Mercy we have a small fruit cart where we have different kinds of fruits and people are buying as well Here we have abayas, small stalls are everywhere Here we have an icecream truck and we can see the delicious ice cream being sold 5 Riyal? From Arafat, we'll move towards the Nimrah mosque now Here we have the Nirmah mosque, the Hajj sermon is delivered from here and once every year, this mosque opens, and then closes for the rest of the year and the whole plain of Arafat starts from here Half of this mosque is in the plain of Arafat, and some of it is out of Arafat.

So if you come for Hajj, and you think of staying inside the Nimrah mosque, then make sure that you dont stay in the area that's out of Arafat, or, your Hajj will be void because staying at the plain of Arafat is integral to Hajj, do take care of that! This is the valley of Mina which becomes populated during Hajj all people doing Hajj stay here for 5 days and the environment becomes holy here during Hajj After Muzdalifa we have jamarat where three pillars represent the devil whom we stone, it has a whole history, which I cannot explain in this short vlog I'm giving out small highlights and you can search about the history The gray pillars beneath the shades the pillars represent the devil, whom we symbolically stone 7 stones are pelted over each pillar Saeed Bhai where do we go now? Mountain of Light and the Cave of Hira Here we have the Mountain of Light/Cave of Hira Cave of Hira is the place where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Used to go for meditation and used to stay for days in this cave This is a very high mountain And the first revelation from the Quran That Gabriel brought to the Prophet, from Allah, That also happened here in this cave and this is where the revelations began Here below the cave, we have some restaurants because it takes a lot of time to reach here 'Pakistani, Indian and Arabian food' They are preparing the food right now Assalam Alaikum, How are you?
