Umrah #2

Here I am again... Writing in mekah . This it's different than 2 years ago. This time it's a different jihad altogether. It's a long delayed sojourn born from the annual horriblis.

This time I am here with all the people that I love..

Some say that it's coincidence, the timing of me leaving Spcs; due in a months time, this pilgrimage serve as a closure to my love- hate relationship with that place...

I'll always thought of my journey to the holy land as allah's calling. I never planned hard for this, all I know that I yearn to come here and I want to brin my family. That's it.

And the notion of allah's calling started even before I leave klia. The plane that was suppose to leave on the 10th was rescheduled to the 9th. Strangely enough, the plane was delayed with mechanical problem and the take off was delayed and only able to leave on the 10th.

If Allah decreed that I am only his guest starting on the 10th, no matter what we planned nothing can beat His plan. Subhannallah!

The umrah went without a hitch. Alhamdulillah . I am proud of my kids, they were brave and dutily performed every rukn. And adzeem became the star performer, gaining the admiration of people in his ihram. Thank you god.

Slowly this place becoming like a stranger to me ... And definitely mummy will not recognise this place. I wish ya Allah that you still permit her to visit this place as your honourable guest.
