The land of the Conquers and The Conquered
This evening I will Insha Allah be leaving with my family for Turkey. A land steeped in the history of the Sahab Radiyallahu Anhu.
Our first stop will be in Istanbul, an absolutely amazing city and the largest city in Turkey. The only city of the world that is transcontinental .i.e. a portion of the city is part of Europe and the other portion is part of Asia. From the very first time I learnt about the history of this city, its unique land scape and the important position it had in the propagation of Deen, I always had the desire to visit it. Al hamdulillah, Almighty Allah has made it possible.
We will Insha Allah be in Turkey from the 7th to the 14th July. For the duration of the trip I hope to from time to time write about the places we visit.
