just a little something
"Jangan membangga diri apabila orang memuji mu, sesungguhnya Allah masih menutup keaiban mu."
-Ustaz Abdul Razak Halifah Ali
Salam guys. Yes I am back from 12 days of heaven on earth. I wasn't keen on leaving but nevertheless, Alhamdulillah :) My head is still a bit tepu with all the ziarahs and sceneries and images of Baitullah in my head so I don't think I can write very well. Honestly, I'm sad. Really really sad. It's not easy to leave something that sacred and peaceful and go back to where you came from. Each step I took, each scent I smelled, each thing I touched, I would try to remember until I return to Malaysia. But now I can't even remember the smell of Masjidil Haram. It's distinctive and supposed to be memorable. Oh well, maybe I should just sniff some minyak atar on my atuk.
In short, I got to touch Kaabah, I got to kiss Hajarul Aswad and I got to pray at Hijr Ismail. I got to know where Rasulullah SAW would lean on while Bilal bin Rabah called for prayer with Mikael and Jibril beside him, I got to know which door Rasulullah SAW would enter when he prays at Masjidil Haram, and I got to pray at the very spot Rasulullah SAW went up to heavens during Israk Mikraj. I consider myself very, very, very lucky. And it was all thanks to the mutawwif who guided us there and who also said that sentence up there. I miss him too already. He made me cry. Not out of physical or verbal violence or anything like that, but because he made me love Rasulullah SAW and Allah SWT more. He reminded us to think of death, of our mothers, of what Allah SWT has done for us.
Now tell me, how can you ever want to go back home?
p.s: I will update properly later. Reality check: Class at 1030 hours tomorrow. Can I not come and say I have jetlag and might sleep in class and I'm doing the lecturer a favour? sigh.
