Having a fantastic time in India so far!
Spent the last couple of days in Goa, loving the relaxed vibe here, the rich seafood cuisine, coastal breeze and the fresh Alphonso and Mankurad mangoes!
We visited the top of Chapora Fort, the iconic location from the movie Dil Chahta Hai, and breathtaking views of the beach and Arabian Sea.
Also visited Parra Road (the first pic), the famous road in Goa lined with Palm Trees.
Next stop, Mumbai!

Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum ☝️
Feeling truly blessed and fortunate to have been given the opportunity to visit our holy land and perform my Umrah. It’s a moment I’ll always hold close to my heart, and I sincerely hope that everyone who wishes to visit gets the chance one day, inshaAllah.
To those who asked me to pray for them, I did, wholeheartedly. And I've prayed for all my followers, for ease in your hardships, strength in your challenges, good health, peace of mind, lasting happiness, and endless barakah in your life.
Please keep me in your prayers as well, and pray that He accepts mine.
And we remember our brothers and sisters in Palestine, always in our hearts and duas.
Alhamdulillah for this blessed moment.
