The Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah is bustling with pilgrims and visitors of different nationalities all year round. Everyone is delighted to make their dream of a lifetime come true and this is proved by the beatific smiles on the faces of the visitors.

Aatif Shahzad, a Pakistani pilgrim, is very happy to be here to perform Umrah. “Alhamudlillah, I performed Umrah, and this the second time I have come to Saudi Arabia for this religious duty. I have noticed the difference and development in various fields, especially in the expansion of the two holy mosques in Makkah and in Madinah,” he said.

He praised the services provided by the Saudi government at the airports and the warm reception and the prompt completion of travel procedures.

“The trip was fun and interesting and I didn’t face any problems or difficulties,” he said.

“In Madinah, I was keen to perform my daily prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque.

I also visited the historical sites and mosques and sites of historic battles. Madinah is a beautiful city.

Everyone wishes to come here. Visiting Madinah is a dream of every Muslim around the world,” said Shahzad.
