Most surely, my Lord is the Hearer of prayer

35 And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! make this city secure, and save me and my sons from worshipping idols:

36 My Lord! surely they have led many men astray; then whoever follows me, he is surely of me, and whoever disobeys me, Thou surely arc Forgiving, Merciful:

37 O our Lord! surely I have settled a part of my offspring in a valley unproductive of fruit near Thy Sacred House, our Lord! that they may keep up prayer; therefore make the hearts of some people yearn towards them and provide them with fruits; haply they may be grateful:

38 O our Lord! Surely Thou knowest what we hide and what we make public, and nothing in the earth nor any thing in heaven is hidden from Allah:

39 Praise be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Ismail and Ishaq; most surely my Lord is the Hearer of prayer.

[ Surah Ibraheem , The Holy Quran]

It was my dream to serve in one of the two holy cities; Makkah or Al Madina in Saudi Arabia. Alhamdulillah I have arrived here in Jeddah and hopefully, insha Allah I will soon be serving in Makkah-al-Mukarmah by starting my work in the field of electrical technology.
Praise be to Allah Who answered my prayers and enabled me to visit the most sacred places of Muslims; Masjid Al Haram, The Holy Kabah in Makkah and Masjid Nabvi in Madina-al-Munawarah, Saudi Arabia.
