Very tastefully done, Jason. I did the hajj in 2013 and loved Medina. I found it very calm and peaceful compared to Mecca. Many people are afraid to travel to KSA, primarily due to ignorance and fear. Your Vlogs help dispel these anxieties. Well done.
The video while "tastefully" done this video shows that even the most well traveled non-Muslim male have very real concerns about visiting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
@@Grandstreet1 Based on nothing more than biased media representations of 'the other.' If you read history, you will know how colonialism works; by relegating such places as 'hostile' or 'backward.' Again, kudos to Jason for dispelling these myths.
@@edstraker8451 My point is that Jason reinforced the very real safety concerns of many people who are not Muslim, that might consider making the trip. Spending large amounts of money and time, then having to stand in the intense desert heat well outside the gates of the only real reason to be there is a tough sell to even the most ardent traveler.
I love his level of appreciation towards Madina, its history and its importance for us Muslims. He is so respectable. May his journey of exploring God's Earth be protected and blessed 💚
Muslim ladies who called muslimah must cover ourselves, veil is optional but body, hair and feet are considered aurat which cannot be seen by ajnabi or non mahram(those you can't married) even not to be seen by non Muslim ladies. Reviling one self to those that have no right is HARAM or fobid. None Muslim not allowed in certain place is for a reason.. Many non Muslim x respect the holly places. Those people went to mosques in other countries and wearing shorts pants n reveling clothes.
You are lucky because you have reached a place where I dream day and night, and I hope that you will be guided, God willing. Because people like you do not miss this light and calm after seeing the reality of the paradise of the world Thank you for your effort, my friend

This is one of those cities in which you may lose sense of time and feel in another dimension, such serenity and peace never experienced in any cities of world
It is I was there for years and I forgot about the rest of the world and in from the west I totally forgot it even existed and I was at the happiest ever in my life. I was there for 8 years
When you reached near the mosque I started crying man... Never cried in years. I've been there and it brought back the out of the world memories from there. I hope I get back there soon. Thanks for bringing this. 👍
I really appreciate that you get yourself educated when visiting a place. Your information are pretty correct. You also show respect towards the culture. I love your neutral facial expressions . You are legit the tourist and travel youtuber to be
@@JasonBillamTravel How much Saudia Arabia tourism board paid you for it? They pay "influencers" with blood money.

Prophet peace be upon him will intercede at hauz e kausar for the people buried in Madina. This is a dream of every Muslim. Your grandma is lucky. Hadhrat Umar r.a. prayed to be buried in Madinah. May Allah choose us for Hajj and Umrah soon.
Never , ever did I expect that mosque to look so calming, in the distance like unreal from fairytail in horizon ! I'm glad you desided to show this , experience many of us will ever live .
In my city Paranaguá Brazil there is a large Syrian and Lebanese Muslim community and there is a medium-sized Mosque. I always had friends at school and Muslim neighbors even playing football. We have never had any problems with Catholics, Protestants and Muslims here in my region. We are all friends here. Peace for all 🇧🇷🇱🇧🇸🇦🇸🇾
when i saw the prophets mosque from a distance i felt like i was going to tear up, it was so beautiful and majestic. i would love to go there at least once in my lifetime.
*You can visit yearly and educate youth in Saudi to not smoke & follow Sunnah* Then upload videos to YT to fund next visit. I would love to see, real Islam taught to Saudi Teenagers by English Speaking Western Muslims!!* Need to move the needle away from "English speaking homosexuals, alcoholics, & porno watchers influencing the Saudi Teenagers based on FAKE HERO Hollywood movies".

11 When a prophet messenger is sent on earth, it’s because there is no more truth on earth and his Message is the only truth of his time. He is the depositary of the truth. He is the legislator of the Word of God in his time. You see? When Noah was preaching, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Noah. When Jeremiah was preaching, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Jeremiah. When Elijah was preaching, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Elijah. When the Lord Jesus was preaching there in the streets of Jerusalem, no one could be saved unless by the Message of the Lord Jesus. He said: "No one comes to the Father unless by me". You see? When Martin Luther was preaching there in Germany, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Martin Luther. When John Wesley was preaching, no one could be saved on the whole face of the earth unless by the Message of John Wesley. When William Branham was preaching there in America, no one could be saved on the whole face of the earth unless by the Message of William Branham. And today, you cannot be saved but by the Message of Prophet Kacou Philippe. If you were a child of God in their time, you would believe in them and it is the same today.

Very glad you decided to post this! Very respectful. And you're incredibly lucky you caught a glimpse when you did. The timing was perfect with COVID on the horizon.
@@JasonBillamTravel I agree with @heavenlyhashbrown you have reported in a sufficiently respectful and correct way. I have been twice to both Medina and Mecca and I was happy to see Medina again after all these years. Impressed by the rail station! Shukran!

It is unfortunate that the people who need to see a video, like this, depicting Muslims (especially from Saudi) just living their lives as we do (with cultural differences) and that they are not to be feared. Quite the contrary. Thank you for giving us a peek into such a highly protected site. The view of the minarets dominating the sky was stunningly beautiful.
its a completely indescribable experience. he didn't comment on the peace he was feeling as he approached the mosque, I assume he remains this way in all his videos so he doesn't bias his viewers in any way. This is the first of his i'm seeing. The minarets were absolutely beautiful but again as he said he only scratched the surface of levels of peace and beauty. On an aside, I actually wish he'd respected that women are "protected" more in his footage. Yes there are women there, living their lives but because they're "protected and respected" I wish an outsider would show that he's doing it in his footage. Madina is a city of light and peace. People are on their best behaviors. They might bump you but they'll kiss you on the head to apologize. I spent 5 days there. Probably need to write about it at some point. I was "taken care of" the time I got there to the time I left. I went not knowing much, the start of my experience was that the air hostess started crying soon as we landed...Madina is not to be observed its to be experienced...hearts find rest there.
@@abdhashmi I spent 20 years, of my life in Singapore, surrounded by Indonesia (the largest Muslim population on the planet) and Malaysia. I have only ever known Islam as a religion of peace and kindness, which was always reflected in all of the people I was friends with and lived amongst. The most kind and welcoming people that will welcome you into their homes like you are the guest of honor. Sadly ignorance prevails.
@@synthtastic74 Xenophobic much? If you read my 2nd comment, I spent 20 years in their part of the world (I am a white non Muslim) and yet the vast majority had absolutely no issue with me being there. I don't subscribe to your myopic view of the world. I appreciate diversity because if the US, for example, was just full of white Christian Americans, it would be miserably boring.
Medina and Mecca are the most beautiful, calm and holy city in the worlds. I was there 2017 for hadji I loved it I was to go back 2020 then COVID strike I’m hoping to go next year insha ‘Allah. May Allah (swt) make it easy for every Muslim to visit. Ameen. Watching your video I get emotional with tears. I love Medina so much I wised I can stay at mosque forever.
This is reminiscence of my time in the KSA. I"ve met a young religious guy who was the nicest person i've ever met in my life. He was a student at Imam University. He took me to many places including the amazing museum in Riyadh. He made me understand the religion but didn't force me to convert to Islam. One time I joined him on a Friday prayer (Jum'ah). I remember many people inside the mosque welcomed me. Many of them embraced me. I was so touched by the unexpected gestures. A few months later he invited to join him to trip in Madinah and Mecca. He told me that if I will be asked if I am a muslim I should just recite the "Shahada" which i still memorize to this day but nobody ask me. He did all the taking. We went first to Madinah and went inside the Holy Mosque. He showed me the tomb of the holy prophet and the supposed to be the dedicated tomb for Jesus (Isa) on his return to earth. It was stunning. 2 days later we traveled to Mecca, I was very anxious what will happen but we arrived safely and without any hassle. As soon as we entered the Holy Mosque, my jaw just dropped. It was breathtaking. We did the Tawaf and I saw the Black Stone and the footprint of prophet Ibrahim up close. It was breathtaking. I am not that religious anymore but I still keep all the good teaching and learning of the religion. Until now i have a soft spot for Muslims because I had an amazing experience in Saudi Arabia and its amazing and very generous people. It was a life changing experience for me. I lost contact with him but I hope he is in good health.
@@JasonBillamTravel There are a lot of British people in Saudi Arabia that you can coordinate with them in an exciting experience in Saudi Arabia. Some of them study at the Islamic University in Madinah, and these Britons are students of the Islamic University in Madinah, such as: Muhammad Tim Humble, Shaykh Wasim Kempson, Abdur Raheem McCarthy's
I admire the friendliness of the local friend u have but as much as islam is concern, anyone who do not believe in the absolute uniqueness & Oneness of God should not enter the sacred vicinity of Makkah as it contains the very of House of God al-ka’abah and anyone who worships other than Him are considered impure to come inside the Haram(sanctuary)..
Jesus and Isa are completely different. As much as Islam would like to hijack the life of Jesus and incorporate it in Islam to justify its existence as a part of the abrahamic faith, it completely inventes a different Jesus who is called Isa 600years after the real Yesua. Isa is not even an Arabic translation or name.
I am Muslim and I watched this with tears in my eyes. I have been there twice, but still want to go again and again. We love it when non-muslim people talk about Islam in a respectful way because there are a lot of misunderstandings about this beautiful religion unfortunately. The video is really great, thank you for sharing it🤍🤍 I also wish you learn more about Islam dear brother. This religion have been always the best haven for me during the tough time. I don’t know how to describe it but just wish you read about Islam from the right sources not from the media.
Respects to you Jason! I'm surprised you know certain terminologies which shows the effort you've made to get to know the people and culture. I'm awed by your open-mindedness and the respect you're showing. I'm a Muslim but have never travelled to Saudi (yet). Thanks for sharing!
The Zam Zam well is the water well that sprung up when Abraham left hagar with Ishmeal in Mecca , she was desperately running back and forth between the mountain of safa and Marwa looking for water in the desert land , then water started to flow from under Ishmeal feet. This water has been flowing since and is considered holy . Hagar then walled the water, this is the well of Zam Zam.
@@jasonmorris9330 Dear . The Quraish are the sons of Ismail bin Ibrahim, and the story is known historically among the people of Mecca, and the story is mentioned in the texts of the Holy Qur’an.

@@JasonBillamTravel My dear, this is your gift for viewing the mosque from the inside ua-cam.com/video/b5W5US7sZNQ/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/UhElD_PRDvI/v-deo.html If you spoke to the officials in the Prophet’s Mosque that you wanted to enter, they would allow you.

The covering of a female is not cultural it is part of beautiful religion it is compulsory its part our Aqidah our belief system and an order from our Lord in the holy Quran.. With so many benefits attached Al Hamdulilah ❤️
Covering is cultural and Islam has sects. That is why you would see women wearing hijabs and others niqap. Some muslims don't even wear it. Not one phrase in the quran states hijabs or niqaps in terms of Arabic linguistics and in terms of meaning many Islamic sects stated differing opinions. Therefore, it is purely based on your family's/society belief.
I am literally crying when you showed and said that this is prophet Mohammad’s(pbuh) masjid 😢.I wish I could be there 🥲..Thank you for showing us the beautiful madina ❤️❤️.

Madinah like home sweat home ..just like u going home from out no whre..the place very peacefull and so magic ( warm ) ...i miss u madinah hopely ones who read this text can go there once or more ..aamiin
Thank you for being so respectful when videoing, it really is much appreciated. You are a very honest man otherwise I reckon you could have got away because you have that revert look!:)
Even though he could have easily got closer, he didn't! Such a humble man who has respect for people, cultures and their religion. This man needs to have his show on National Geographic or Aljazeera
No he shouldnt...ifvwe keep tolerating staff like that it will be chaos..first none muslim should enter marina nd thats period !!!.its religion its not politic if we keep none muslim then slowly but surely comes with mini skirts shorts or perhaps we should prepare beers 4 them isn't it? Stupid king doing mistake but the people are religious by choice nd even this man is nice ...so on !! But he is not muslim he shouldn't be there
@@mateloman Maybe if he see's the hospitality and kindness of Muslim people, he will be inspired to learn more about Islam and become a Muslim himself. You are being arrogant and rude, being a poor example of a Muslim, going against the teachings of Islam. Shame on you.
Me and my family visited when I was senior year in high school, just a reckless kid asking to tag along cuz I wanted a reason to ditch school for some weeks. Even then the beauty can't be put to words, Medina is my personal favorite, peaceful is an understatement, as if time moved at a slower pace, surely a city where the prophet is. I didn't come with much enthusiasm but I did went home unwilling and humbled.
I miss being there...it brings me so much peace and joy while I was there back in 2018....praying that I am able to go to Makkah and Madinah again...❤️
My last trip to the city was back in 2016 for a week before going to Makkah (Mecca) for Umrah. Thanks for the video, it's really brings back the memory..
The misinterpretation about muslim n Islam after 9/11, u my friend have opened many eyes about the well-being n purity of Islam religion, I thank you for your sincere effort and kindness. Regards Thank you
I personally haven't got the chance to visit Medina yet so thank you so much for this video, I can get a little taste of the city, the people, and the athmospere♥
Thank u for sharing this video.i havent seen Saudi Arabia yet in person, soo its always nice seeing youtubers share their experience. And congratulations on 500,000 subssss!!!!
Masha Allah brother I pray that You are granted Hidayah .. and In'sha'Allah one day You Enter inside The Mosque! It will be the most Amazing moment to which you will fall into tears ... Such is the emotions inside the Prophets mosque...ask for the one who long for it!... I hope You learn more about Islam AMEEN
Thank you for bringing this for us,my tears flowed when you were near the mosque,you said it's very peaceful city,yes indeed . Peace be upon you prophet Muhammad
You're probably the first tourist vlogger in Madina I've ever watched recently. I respect the Saudi government's effort in allowing tourists to visit their amazing sites.
Thanks for the video Jason! Really missed this places, Makkah, Medina, Jeddah, wish I can go back there again. Was here for my Hajj pilgrimage back in 2019, and stayed close to 2 months....this video really took me back...Alhamdulillah...Thanks again.
You could have definitely gotten closer to the mosque, security and police in saudi arabia, aren't aggressive and they're welcoming because they're trained to deal with pilgrims and to help them as much as possible. If you were in the wrong place or something, they will simply explain things to you and show you the way out. Nonetheless great video and I really hope you come back to Saudi Arabia and explore more. Love from saudi arabia.
That would make sense. The few times I passed security and police they didn’t bat an eyelid over my presence. Gave me the assurance I could keep walking straight.
@@JasonBillamTravel I'm glad to hear that and thank you for replying!. Next time you visit Saudi, hopefully you will meet more locals and they will show you even better hospitality. I really appreciate all of your content showing what you see as is.
@@JasonBillamTravel they are used to dealing with pilgrims from all over the world, from all continents, different languages, different cultures and customs, different colours yet all United in their faith and belief. I love how even when people can’t understand one another there, due to a language barrier, everybody knows how to get along and respect one another and they still manage to communicate with just smiles and gestures, regardless of who they are or where they are from. They can be rich or poor, when in Saudi Arabia, during the Hajj, this is of no importance, everyone is the same and in front of God only the truthful, the pious and the one who is righteous and good and does good unto others has a high status, not those who have power, prestige or wealth. What a beautiful religion Islam is 😍
@@JasonBillamTravel Even if you look western like you said in the video, they can't tell if you're a nonmuslim because muslims can be from any ethnicity or race and there have been muslim westerners as pilgrims
I’m a British Muslim well done my man for showing this to the world.... we need more people coming to religious places to show the world what our faith is about obviously within the allowed areas Mecca is off limits unfortunately but as for medina you know you can go as far as the umbrellas near the entrances... To give you an idea of Majid Al Haram its bigger than the prophets mosque and in the middle, it has a very large open area with the Kabah (cube building) in the middle the size of the mosque itself is mind-blowing... the prophet’s mosque is also enormous in scale to put it into perspective a brisk pace of walking would take 20 mins or so to walk one end of the mosque to the other... you have subscriber
Thank you Jason for sharing to the world your experienced ...when you yourself setfoot in beautiful Madina Munawara, and my heart so happy to see that calmness and the sorrounding is just nice peaceful.... and really can feel the amazing spirit of Prophet sallallahu alaihi wassallam and the companions too....may Allah guide you to Islam...Aamiin
Dear Jason, Thank you so much for making this breathtaking video, beautiful sceneries and wholehearted reflection and commentary, left me in tears while watching, as muslim I never been to Medina, however watching your video I felt I'm already there, hopefully will get the chance to visit it soon, sending you my prayers that one day you'll get the chance to enter the Mosque and see it within and witnessing the resting place of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him who was sent to all mankind and be blessed with his company in highest realms of heaven, peace be upon you ❤️
Dear brother, you could have walked in the outer area of the masjid, in the haram, where there are floor tiles, but not in the interior where there are carpets. You stopped way too early, ohh goodness, this just shows how respectful you were. 😍
Amazing place I've been there when I was 16 and it has changed incredibly. Thank you for visiting and sharing your visit. I would love to go Medina soon, you have inspired me
Jason thank you for your video! :) Really interesting to see all the sites and to learn everything you described :) Looking forward to watching your next series! :) Cheers! :)
Thank you for sharing I was about to cry....InshaAllah we will visit soon and experience the amazing place where our prophet and all Muslims experience .thank you again
Maa Shaa Allah! astounding video I've seen today ♥️ * As a muslimah they are required to cover their whole body not only because of culture or tradition but rather it is in the Islamic law♥️ -LongDress+Hijab is a must 🥰
Man. Im in tears as a muslim. I visted madina only once in my life. I want to visit a second time soo badly😥. May Allah make it easy for those who sincerely wanna vist madina for the sake of allah. Its a beautiful city and very tranquillity is amazing.

I think you could have gone right up to the gate Jason without any hassle. Madinah is a beautiful city and been lucky enough to go there 5 times. And in the meantime, the UK is basking in a late Indian summer
@Abdulaziz Mohammed I agree with what you said but one non muslim sister who visited Al-Madinah recently did convert to Islam after visiting the city. Hijaz also includes Jeddah and quite a few non-muslims visit there. But I don't agree with Al Saud (should be As-Saud) royal family policies one bit but since they have allowed non-muslims to visit Al-Madinah with some guidelines this could a stepping stone for non muslims to see the true Islam and pray that they convert into this beautiful religion.
@Abdulaziz Mohammed What happens to non muslims who are found in each area? are there people that actively look to turn others away? and what If someone lied about being a Muslim, and was in both of these areas, what would be the result? just out of Interest. as a Non muslim, have to say the prophets mosque did look beautiful with the sun behind it in this video.
@@nonstop9907 if someone lied about being muslim how could others know ? But then your being disrespectful of others laws and rules.. For mecca its totally non permissible for non muslims.medina on the other hand they can enter the city as long as they dont enter the mosque of the prophet (peace be upon him) and dont stay there permanently
@@nonstop9907 Ellie who was a English non muslim at the time visited Madinah then converted to Islam not long ago. Stef Hoffer did a good job filming Madinah as non muslim and did a great view of the mosque during sunset
It was so amazing to watch the beautiful glimpse of “Medina” from some one who is non Muslim. I appreciate your efforts that you have put to show glimpses of Medina city. Take care and keep posting such great videos.
Enjoyed your post very much, I like how you slowly pan around and give lots of local commentary detail. I cannot see me going to this part of the world so I am happy to see it from your lens. I will check out your other Saudi Arabia videos. Cheers
12:15 you are so lucky, dear. Every Muslim is (even he had come here for 10000000000000000 billion times ) dying in pain of Prophets Muhammad's love and come to Mecca Madina.

As a Muslim I almost cried watching this.haven't been there for a long time now.💔 I pray every Muslim get the chance to visit the Prophet (peace be upon him) mosque. Thanks for sharing this with us and I invite you to learn more abt Islam .just a brief look
Amazing video, man. Keep doing what you are doing. You show me variety perspective of the local that not many others do. I really enjoy your stuff. Big support from Thailand.
I'm Saudi and I really loved your trip, You've got some accurate informations, for a second I thought you're one of us 😂 You absolutely should come back to Saudi Arabia and visit the Southern, Eastern, Northern sides of the country. Every side has a different dressing, food, dance and accent. I'm originally from the South but I live in Jeddah and I've visited lots of places. If you ever come back and want the company of a local don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers.
Very tastefully done, Jason. I did the hajj in 2013 and loved Medina. I found it very calm and peaceful compared to Mecca. Many people are afraid to travel to KSA, primarily due to ignorance and fear. Your Vlogs help dispel these anxieties. Well done.

Believers, those who ascribe partners to God are truly unclean: do not let them come near the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you are afraid you may become poor, [bear in mind that] God will enrich you out of His bounty if He pleases: God is all-knowing and wise.مومنین ، جو خدا کے ساتھ شراکت دار قرار دیتے ہیں وہ واقعی ناپاک ہیں: انہیں اس سال کے بعد مسجد حرام کے قریب نہ آنے دیں۔ اگر تم ڈرتے ہو کہ تم غریب ہو جاؤ ، [ذہن میں رکھو کہ] خدا تمہیں اپنے فضل سے غنی کرے گا اگر وہ چاہے: خدا سب کچھ جاننے والا اور حکمت والا ہے

This is one of those cities in which you may lose sense of time and feel in another dimension, such serenity and peace never experienced in any cities of world
It is I was there for years and I forgot about the rest of the world and in from the west I totally forgot it even existed and I was at the happiest ever in my life. I was there for 8 years
When you reached near the mosque I started crying man... Never cried in years. I've been there and it brought back the out of the world memories from there. I hope I get back there soon. Thanks for bringing this. 👍
May Allah make it easy for you to go back there.. and me 😅🤲

Never , ever did I expect that mosque to look so calming, in the distance like unreal from fairytail in horizon ! I'm glad you desided to show this , experience many of us will ever live .
The beauty of that mosque is that the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad is located in that mosque.
In my city Paranaguá Brazil there is a large Syrian and Lebanese Muslim community and there is a medium-sized Mosque. I always had friends at school and Muslim neighbors even playing football. We have never had any problems with Catholics, Protestants and Muslims here in my region. We are all friends here. Peace for all 🇧🇷🇱🇧🇸🇦🇸🇾
when i saw the prophets mosque from a distance i felt like i was going to tear up, it was so beautiful and majestic. i would love to go there at least once in my lifetime.

11 When a prophet messenger is sent on earth, it’s because there is no more truth on earth and his Message is the only truth of his time. He is the depositary of the truth. He is the legislator of the Word of God in his time. You see? When Noah was preaching, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Noah. When Jeremiah was preaching, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Jeremiah. When Elijah was preaching, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Elijah. When the Lord Jesus was preaching there in the streets of Jerusalem, no one could be saved unless by the Message of the Lord Jesus. He said: "No one comes to the Father unless by me". You see? When Martin Luther was preaching there in Germany, no one could be saved unless by the Message of Martin Luther. When John Wesley was preaching, no one could be saved on the whole face of the earth unless by the Message of John Wesley. When William Branham was preaching there in America, no one could be saved on the whole face of the earth unless by the Message of William Branham. And today, you cannot be saved but by the Message of Prophet Kacou Philippe. If you were a child of God in their time, you would believe in them and it is the same today. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”] [Kc.3v12] [Kc.31v18] [Kc.91v6]

It is unfortunate that the people who need to see a video, like this, depicting Muslims (especially from Saudi) just living their lives as we do (with cultural differences) and that they are not to be feared. Quite the contrary. Thank you for giving us a peek into such a highly protected site. The view of the minarets dominating the sky was stunningly beautiful.
its a completely indescribable experience. he didn't comment on the peace he was feeling as he approached the mosque, I assume he remains this way in all his videos so he doesn't bias his viewers in any way. This is the first of his i'm seeing. The minarets were absolutely beautiful but again as he said he only scratched the surface of levels of peace and beauty. On an aside, I actually wish he'd respected that women are "protected" more in his footage. Yes there are women there, living their lives but because they're "protected and respected" I wish an outsider would show that he's doing it in his footage. Madina is a city of light and peace. People are on their best behaviors. They might bump you but they'll kiss you on the head to apologize. I spent 5 days there. Probably need to write about it at some point. I was "taken care of" the time I got there to the time I left. I went not knowing much, the start of my experience was that the air hostess started crying soon as we landed...Madina is not to be observed its to be experienced...hearts find rest there.
@@abdhashmi I spent 20 years, of my life in Singapore, surrounded by Indonesia (the largest Muslim population on the planet) and Malaysia. I have only ever known Islam as a religion of peace and kindness, which was always reflected in all of the people I was friends with and lived amongst. The most kind and welcoming people that will welcome you into their homes like you are the guest of honor. Sadly ignorance prevails.
Sure they are not to be feared, as long as they stay in their own countries and don't gain considerable Numbers in your country.

You are so tasteful in your narration. I appreciate your perspectives. Thank you for sharing, Jason!
Thank you Rich!
This is reminiscence of my time in the KSA. I"ve met a young religious guy who was the nicest person i've ever met in my life. He was a student at Imam University. He took me to many places including the amazing museum in Riyadh. He made me understand the religion but didn't force me to convert to Islam. One time I joined him on a Friday prayer (Jum'ah). I remember many people inside the mosque welcomed me. Many of them embraced me. I was so touched by the unexpected gestures. A few months later he invited to join him to trip in Madinah and Mecca. He told me that if I will be asked if I am a muslim I should just recite the "Shahada" which i still memorize to this day but nobody ask me. He did all the taking. We went first to Madinah and went inside the Holy Mosque. He showed me the tomb of the holy prophet and the supposed to be the dedicated tomb for Jesus (Isa) on his return to earth. It was stunning. 2 days later we traveled to Mecca, I was very anxious what will happen but we arrived safely and without any hassle. As soon as we entered the Holy Mosque, my jaw just dropped. It was breathtaking. We did the Tawaf and I saw the Black Stone and the footprint of prophet Ibrahim up close. It was breathtaking. I am not that religious anymore but I still keep all the good teaching and learning of the religion. Until now i have a soft spot for Muslims because I had an amazing experience in Saudi Arabia and its amazing and very generous people. It was a life changing experience for me. I lost contact with him but I hope he is in good health.
Great experience...Thanks for sharing !
That sounds wild, I’m jealous!
@@JasonBillamTravel There are a lot of British people in Saudi Arabia that you can coordinate with them in an exciting experience in Saudi Arabia. Some of them study at the Islamic University in Madinah, and these Britons are students of the Islamic University in Madinah, such as: Muhammad Tim Humble, Shaykh Wasim Kempson, Abdur Raheem McCarthy's
I admire the friendliness of the local friend u have but as much as islam is concern, anyone who do not believe in the absolute uniqueness & Oneness of God should not enter the sacred vicinity of Makkah as it contains the very of House of God al-ka’abah and anyone who worships other than Him are considered impure to come inside the Haram(sanctuary)..
Jesus and Isa are completely different. As much as Islam would like to hijack the life of Jesus and incorporate it in Islam to justify its existence as a part of the abrahamic faith, it completely inventes a different Jesus who is called Isa 600years after the real Yesua. Isa is not even an Arabic translation or name.
I am Muslim and I watched this with tears in my eyes. I have been there twice, but still want to go again and again. We love it when non-muslim people talk about Islam in a respectful way because there are a lot of misunderstandings about this beautiful religion unfortunately. The video is really great, thank you for sharing it🤍🤍

The covering of a female is not cultural it is part of beautiful religion it is compulsory its part our Aqidah our belief system and an order from our Lord in the holy Quran.. With so many benefits attached Al Hamdulilah ❤️
Right 👍
@@homemaker3222 Actually, he is right, it is more cultural, covering is part of the religion,' fully black' covering is in no way compulsory
Covering is cultural and Islam has sects. That is why you would see women wearing hijabs and others niqap. Some muslims don't even wear it. Not one phrase in the quran states hijabs or niqaps in terms of Arabic linguistics and in terms of meaning many Islamic sects stated differing opinions. Therefore, it is purely based on your family's/society belief.
@@aimenslama7444 yes that is also correct .... Covering can be any way ...and black colour covering is saidias these days culture
Covering is a part of religion but covering in this way is more of cultural thing.

You could have definitely gotten closer to the mosque, security and police in saudi arabia, aren't aggressive and they're welcoming because they're trained to deal with pilgrims and to help them as much as possible. If you were in the wrong place or something, they will simply explain things to you and show you the way out. Nonetheless great video and I really hope you come back to Saudi Arabia and explore more. Love from saudi arabia.
That would make sense. The few times I passed security and police they didn’t bat an eyelid over my presence. Gave me the assurance I could keep walking straight.

@@JasonBillamTravel they are used to dealing with pilgrims from all over the world, from all continents, different languages, different cultures and customs, different colours yet all United in their faith and belief. I love how even when people can’t understand one another there, due to a language barrier, everybody knows how to get along and respect one another and they still manage to communicate with just smiles and gestures, regardless of who they are or where they are from. They can be rich or poor, when in Saudi Arabia, during the Hajj, this is of no importance, everyone is the same and in front of God only the truthful, the pious and the one who is righteous and good and does good unto others has a high status, not those who have power, prestige or wealth. What a beautiful religion Islam is 😍
@@JasonBillamTravel our prophet PBUH was born in Mecca and later, hijra to Madina and passed away in this city.

I’m a British Muslim well done my man for showing this to the world.... we need more people coming to religious places to show the world what our faith is about obviously within the allowed areas Mecca is off limits unfortunately but as for medina you know you can go as far as the umbrellas near the entrances... To give you an idea of Majid Al Haram its bigger than the prophets mosque and in the middle, it has a very large open area with the Kabah (cube building) in the middle the size of the mosque itself is mind-blowing... the prophet’s mosque is also enormous in scale to put it into perspective a brisk pace of walking would take 20 mins or so to walk one end of the mosque to the other... you have subscriber
Thank you Jason for sharing to the world your experienced ...when you yourself setfoot in beautiful Madina Munawara, and my heart so happy to see that calmness and the sorrounding is just nice peaceful.... and really can feel the amazing spirit of Prophet sallallahu alaihi wassallam and the companions too....may Allah guide you to Islam...Aamiin

Amazing place I've been there when I was 16 and it has changed incredibly. Thank you for visiting and sharing your visit. I would love to go Medina soon, you have inspired me

As a muslimah they are required to cover their whole body not only because of culture or tradition but rather it is in the Islamic law♥️
-LongDress+Hijab is a must 🥰
I am just saw the Makka in the life but I never saw madina city in this such a way that you are showing such a beautiful work thanks...♥️
When I saw the towers of Prophets Mosque, I felt soo much energy inside me. That you for the vedio.
Thanks for posting this, I've finally had a glimpse of Medina. I really wish can travel there as well for Hajj or Umrah

Well done Jason you are a great tourist and a vlogger. I like that the fact you have respect with culture and religion I myself went to Mecca and Medina couple of times I still loved seeing you vlogging it again it feels like I'm there again. So thank you for Vlogging I hope you return there again some day.
At-Tawbah
The Repentance
Verse 28
Believers, those who ascribe partners to God are truly unclean: do not let them come near the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you are afraid you may become poor, [bear in mind that] God will enrich you out of His bounty if He pleases: God is all-knowing and wise.مومنین ، جو خدا کے ساتھ شراکت دار قرار دیتے ہیں وہ واقعی ناپاک ہیں: انہیں اس سال کے بعد مسجد حرام کے قریب نہ آنے دیں۔ اگر تم ڈرتے ہو کہ تم غریب ہو جاؤ ، [ذہن میں رکھو کہ] خدا تمہیں اپنے فضل سے غنی کرے گا اگر وہ چاہے: خدا سب کچھ جاننے والا اور حکمت والا ہے
Awwuh! Thanks again, Jason! Much appreciated. Enjoyed this video very much. I could almost smell and taste it! So modern, yet ancient. As always, your travel vlog is so informative and fascinating!
Looking forward to your next adventure! Safe travels.😊💚🌿🌟✈
Dear Jason
My heartiest thanks and congratulations for taking this great effort to show this most beloved part on earth for every Muslim.
I wish you happiness and health and pray to Allah subhan wa taala to bless you.
Tears just falling...thank u for this amazing video...from Malaysia🇲🇾 come over here too!
you are literally living my dream !
I wish I was there for just an hour.
Incredible spiritual video from the city that once you'll visit it will never leave your heart. Thank you for sharing
Subhanallah.... May Allah SWT always protect the Qibla of Muslims, Mecca and Medina are places of dreams and goals for every Muslim, and may Allah make it easy for me to be able to visit this holy city 🙏🙏🙏
Ameen
I think you could have gone right up to the gate Jason without any hassle. Madinah is a beautiful city and been lucky enough to go there 5 times. And in the meantime, the UK is basking in a late Indian summer
@Abdulaziz Mohammed I agree with what you said but one non muslim sister who visited Al-Madinah recently did convert to Islam after visiting the city. Hijaz also includes Jeddah and quite a few non-muslims visit there. But I don't agree with Al Saud (should be As-Saud) royal family policies one bit but since they have allowed non-muslims to visit Al-Madinah with some guidelines this could a stepping stone for non muslims to see the true Islam and pray that they convert into this beautiful religion.
@Abdulaziz Mohammed What happens to non muslims who are found in each area? are there people that actively look to turn others away? and what If someone lied about being a Muslim, and was in both of these areas, what would be the result? just out of Interest. as a Non muslim, have to say the prophets mosque did look beautiful with the sun behind it in this video.
@@nonstop9907 if someone lied about being muslim how could others know ? But then your being disrespectful of others laws and rules..
For mecca its totally non permissible for non muslims.medina on the other hand they can enter the city as long as they dont enter the mosque of the prophet (peace be upon him) and dont stay there permanently
@@nonstop9907 Ellie who was a English non muslim at the time visited Madinah then converted to Islam not long ago. Stef Hoffer did a good job filming Madinah as non muslim and did a great view of the mosque during sunset
It was so amazing to watch the beautiful glimpse of “Medina” from some one who is non Muslim. I appreciate your efforts that you have put to show glimpses of Medina city. Take care and keep posting such great videos.
Thank you for sharing this video, I was in Medina in February 2020 before the pandemic. It’s beautiful to see it from your perspective.
Enjoyed your post very much, I like how you slowly pan around and give lots of local commentary detail. I cannot see me going to this part of the world so I am happy to see it from your lens. I will check out your other Saudi Arabia videos. Cheers
I have been there in 2017.. Awwwhh it was the best time of my life. I wish I'd go there soon.
Thank you very much for sharing this. All information is correct. Lot’s of love from Switzerland
12:15 you are so lucky, dear. Every Muslim is (even he had come here for 10000000000000000 billion times ) dying in pain of Prophets Muhammad's love and come to Mecca Madina.
Ma sha Allah. Thank you brother for showing us this sacred place. It is the dream of every Muslim to visit this Holy place and u are the lucky one who visit this place. May Allah bless u with Hidayah. Ameen💚
Love and prayers from Pakistan💚🇵🇰🇵🇰
As a Muslim I almost cried watching this.haven't been there for a long time now.💔 I pray every Muslim get the chance to visit the Prophet (peace be upon him) mosque.
Thanks for sharing this with us and I invite you to learn more abt Islam .just a brief look
*Love and respect to good peoples of Saudia Arabia from Pakistan 🇵🇰💖🇸🇦*
Amazing video, man. Keep doing what you are doing. You show me variety perspective of the local that not many others do. I really enjoy your stuff. Big support from Thailand.
Appreciate that Chakrit!
So clean and looks futuristic. I love it!
Thank you for this journey! I'm missing Medina, even though, never have I ever been there!
me too 🥰
I'm Saudi and I really loved your trip, You've got some accurate informations, for a second I thought you're one of us 😂
You absolutely should come back to Saudi Arabia and visit the Southern, Eastern, Northern sides of the country.
Every side has a different dressing, food, dance and accent. I'm originally from the South but I live in Jeddah and I've visited lots of places. If you ever come back and want the company of a local don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers.
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
