I feel really disappointed in my Ummrah trip, and genuinely feel sad and upset about it.

Support/Advice

I'm currently in Madinah and will leaving to go back home this weekend and last week I did my Umrah. Travelling with my mother, brother, sister and her 18 month old.

I knew, wallahi I knew, deep down in my heart when finding out my sis and her daughter will be coming with us to Ummrah, it would be the worst thing ever. And guess what? It is. Just genuinely difficult. Had no time to do really and ibadah, we had to work every schedule from having breakfast to going to the Haram around them. Something that could take 20 mins to get ready was taking over 2hrs. I wanted to do Ummrah atleast twice but I couldn't cos everything got messed up. I also started my period which put a cork in those plans.

Don't get me started on the arguments. The night before we left for Umrah, arguments. On our way to the airport, arguments. When we arrived at the hotel arguments. In the state of Ihram astagfirullah, arguments. Just constantly bickering.

Even now after being in Saudi Arabia since last Monday, it has been nothing but bad vibes and the only good part was the actual Umrah itself. Everything else, was horrible.

Just feel so incredibly sad about it. May Allah forgive us.
