Saitama

Today went to the place I grew up in Japan. Surreal feeling. I could recognise the place. SubhanAllah time flies. Also the school that I used to go to was demolished and it is now an empty land for future construction. With that now two of my old school have been demolished. Pretty crazy.

Alhamdulillah for giving me the opportunity to see the area with whole family.

First day in Guangzhou

First day was quiet busy. We got ready and took Taxi to the Huaisheng Mosque. Apparently the ?Mosque is 1300 years old. Story is that Saad in Abi Waqqas (RA) was involved in building the Masjid. Ohh side note, taxi is pretty cheap here.

We had lunch around there area. We then. Went to the Mosque to pray jumma. A lot of people were there. Noticed lots of Arabs especially.

Later we took local bus and went to a place where Saad (RA) was supposedly buried. The place is big and very peaceful. Saw some Muslim brothers and sisters there.

We then went to the clothing markets for quick look. Lot of whole sale shops. Definitely good place if you have plans to sell clothing items.

We finally went to a place called Xiaobei. Lot of Muslim foreigners there. Heaps of halal food outlets. There are single item ships and whole sale shops especially for Muslims. Definitely a place to go for Muslims if they visit Guangzhou.

Later caught home Alhamdulillah. Pretty tired. Also American Presidential Debate happened that day.
