Lectures by scholars, Umrah, excellent accommodations, and field trips too? The first trip was for brothers only to the University of Madinah. The brothers met with some administrators who gave a short talk, entertained questions, and provided gifts. Everyone was given a leather briefcase with the University logo and an application.
The next tour was of Masjid an Nabwi. We got to meet with members of the management staff who showed us the control room of the Masjid where all the electrical power is managed. We also viewed short video about the history of the Masjid, outlining all the recent expansion projects.
Our last excursion in Madinah was to the King Fahd Quran Printing Complex. The presenter discussed the process of producing copies of the Quran. It was interesting to find out the original is hand-written and not created electronically. A team of scholars are required to revise the work before it goes into printing. This facility produces thousands and thousands of Qurans in different sizes, different translations, that are sent all over the world.
