Nervous about my first sight of the Ka'bah
Salam everyone, I’m finally heading for Umrah soon with my parents and sisters, insha'Allah. They’ve all been before at different times, but this is my first trip. I’m a guy in my early 30s, and I just know I’m going to break down the moment I see the Ka'bah. Even watching clips of others seeing it for the first time gets me choked up, so I can’t imagine what it’ll be like in person. What’s bothering me is the thought of my family seeing me like that. I get that crying is fine, but I’ve always kept my emotions to myself, especially around them. Anyone else felt this way before their first Umrah or Hajj? How did you deal with it? Any advice on keeping it together? Jazakum Allahu khairan
