MashaAllah sister when you describe Kabah, do I want to be THERE! I am longing to be there one day. InshaAllah.
''When u look how birds never, never and I stress, never cross over Ka`ba from any direction but rather circle around it to go from one direction to another. U will just know how much Allah Is there.....''


I remember very briefly when I was also a 'baby' someone told me about these birds. I don't recall from what Hadith maybe you know OR if I remember wrong (the old age 'problem') that the birds never fly across the Kabah due to that there is an invisible pillar (invisible for us humans) direct up to Allah, SWT. Do you know sister about this?


Wasalam your sister

as salam alykom Umm Zachria


Actually me too I am not sure about the hadeeth, but I saw it with my own eyes, they never ever cross over Sobhan Allah.


What takes me more is when I am inside the Masjed haram. Just thinking that this is Allah's house as He described it in Quran. Sobhan Allah, it actually overwhelms me that I am sitting in the hospitality of Allah Almighty. Sobhan Allah, that I am Allah's guest now. O ya Allah. it makes me feel, o actually dont know how to say it. Just wanting to sit there doing nothing but talking to Allah. I once met a woman in Ka`ba who complained to me that before coming to Umrah, she was sooo excited, couldnt sleep or eat just waiting to be here. She said but now my heart is so cool, dont know what happeded to me. I told her just imagine when u r invited for dinner, would u ignore the host and talk to someone else, no u will try to be as attentive as possible to the host. Just imagine this, your host Is Allah, how can u ignore or think of anything/body else. This idea is enough to get your heart fully focused on Allah. O la ilaha ila Allah. It is soooo special to be there. May Allah grant u access Ukhti Umm Zacharia and u too Anya Insh a Allah.

Assalamu aleikum sister,


Yes WHO would say no thank you to be invited to the very near presence of Allah, SWT, and to go in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet, SAWS? And Ibrahim, AS, and Ismael, AS?


Insha'Allah one day we that have not fulfilled our 5th obligation will also be able to do that, insha'Allah.


I still haven't found that hadith, but I found two others concerning birds that I just have to write down.


From Bukhari;


Book 033, Number 6435:


'A'isha, the mother of the believers, reported that a child died and I said: There is happiness for this child who is a bird from amongst the birds of Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Don't you know that Allah created the Paradise and He created the Hell and He created the dwellers for this (Paradise) and the denizens for this (Hell)?


Book 040, Number 6808:


Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There would enter Paradise people whose hearts would be like those of the hearts of birds.


Wasalam

Where have I been? I've been to London to visit the Queen. (Old tyme nursery rhyme. Sorry, couldn't resist.) Actually, I've been to the magestic land of laziness, that's all.


I don't know too much about the specifics of Cyprus. I've never been. I just hear it's nice. I'm sure you can find a spot where there are no Britons. Maybe under a log or something ;-)
