Alhamdulillah, at 9.00 am we arrived in Mubarok Silver Hotel Medina. We check our personnel and distribute the room. After get room, I went to the bathroom to bathe. This is free time for break until adzan Dzuhur. I just rest my body in comfort bed.

Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar. Call adzan dzuhur has reverberated in Nabawi mosque. It is time for us to prepare Dhuhur prayers together. This is ma first  time, visit Nabawi Mosque. Woww that’s so beautiful, the mosque so large and there are many people from another country. In this mosque, I see a lot of people who are reading Al Quran, Masya Allah. The mosque which has namely Green Dome is the main mosques besides Al Haram mosque, Makkah.

After prayed Dzuhur, me and ma mom decided to sightseeing Nabawi mosque area. There are many doors and gates for enter to the mosque, zam-zam water drinking, library, and many more. In the street, we can find many gift store from Madina. In gift stores available dates, chocolate, tin, olive oil, shirts, gamis, abaya, and another gift. Sightseeing time, make me tired and I decided to go to bed for afternoon nap.

When adzan Ashar, we went to Masjidil Nabawi immediately because if we late, we cant find pray inside mosque. After that we back again to hotel and take a bath, because we musn't late when pray Maghrib.
We went to Nabawi Mosque again for shalat Magrib, the culture inthe mosque, after shalat maghrib there are many groups to study Al Qur'an. Some one of groups taught the group with Tafsir Qur'an. This is peace moment and I like it, this culture make me  miss at Madina.
