Age of Innocence when i had 'No Thoughts' and Present Age when there are 'So Many Thoughts"
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah Hiwabarakatuh.
Since my last posting at the beginning of the year,
so many thoughts have passed my mind.
To claim that i have been busy, might be an understatement.
After my blessed Hajj, i am still trying to live the life of a Hajj recipient.
As i had thought earlier, it is not easy to be one, being a Hajj that is.
Performing the Hajj was a breeze for me and i enjoyed every minute of it.
I promised that i will write about it, but for the want of not being 'takbur' i decided not to.
There were many moments and incidents that would be a great story to tell, but i decided to keep it to myself and occasionally 'cerita' bits and pieces to a few friends.
The story of how i was given a unique Wheel chair(Made in India) in Kaabah itself is a good one.
Maybe i will tell it later in my future postings.
The story of my last day at Mina after the last stoning is also a worthwhile 'cerita'.
My walking in the rain in a makeshift rain coat in Makkah a day before Wukuf is also another story.
On looking back, there can be many interpretations as to why it all happened.
Even my doa at Arafah is also another 'cerita'because i was too shy to ask for anything more because, in my opinion i have been given more than enough thus far,which does not commensurate with the deeds that i have done.
My doa was just to say 'Thank you' to Allah Taala with a bits of doa for HIM to grant me anything that He wishes to give, because obviously, HE knows what is in my heart.
Hence my after Hajj has been filled with 'So Many Thoughts'.
Since tomorrow is First Syawal, and having completed 30 days of fasting during Ramadan, i think it is appropriate that i update this blog of mine,so that i can wish the few friends of mine who must have been wondering why i have been dormant for more than 8 months.
As a reminder Raya Haji will be on 17th November 2010.
Maybe i might be inspired to pen my Thoughts as the first anniversary of my Hajj approaches.
Suffice that my wish for everyone is that Allah Taala will grant us another chance to fulfill Ramadan a year from now and that our 30 days of Ramadan will be accepted by HIM.
InsyaAllah.
