I am back

[radiyah]

Alsalam 'alaykom wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuh brothers and sisters, how are u all doing, I haven't been around for a long time I know, the reason was that I went to Haj Alhamdulilah and this is the first time I go, and I came back alhamdulilah by Allah's mercy, and I pray for all of u that have not gone insha'Allah u will go next year. I really wish I can go every year, it is really a vey devine journey, u forget yourself there u think of nothing else but not to make any misdeeds and all I was thinking that Allah almighty will forgive me and accept from me. The moment I reacehd Jeddah airport I really was shiverring and praying all the way in the plane, that all goes well and I complete my rituals with no mistakes, the weather in mekka was wonderful, it was not very cold nor very hot. Then we went by bus to the building we were to stay in and through the way we were saying

" Labayk Allahum Labayk, Labayk La shareek laka Labayk, in ilhamd wa ilni'mata laka walmulk la shareek lak"

Subhan Allah, really I was shiverring with fear till the end, but alhamdulilah everything went okay and I completed my rituals, and I hope Allah Almighty will accept from me.

Really the feeling is great we all are the same, there is is no poor, no rich all are one in the same line , all wearing the same, there is no way for anyone to be a show off all the same all one, all came asking for God's forgivness, millions were in Mekka, in the haram (alkaba') but still masha'Allah it is wide enough for all. When I saw the Kaba' I couldn't help but cry, tears would fall automatically, I pray to Allah that this will not be my last time, I wish I could go every year, I hope I can, and sobhan Allah we never get enough sleep maybe a couple of hours in 24 hours, but still we have the strength to complete all our rituals, especially when throwing stones at satan sobhan Allah when one throw he feels a different kind of strength and the stone flies strongly straight to target. I have many to say but I will not be boaring I will write more later and maybe u have questions to ask me brothers and sisters, but I can say that I feel now I am a new person, I have become more patient , more cautious in talking and treatment with people, more quiet, I am always afraid to make any misdeed or guilt, but deep inside I feel more pleassed more content and more closer to Allah. So those who have not gone please do your best to, have the intention in your heart and ask aid from Allah to help u to go to haj and beleive me he will, since last year's haj I had the intention and was always praying and asking God's aid to fulfill my trip and when ramadan was close I prayed more and more , and then everything happened very quickly alhamdulilah, and God accepted my dua'a and made everything easy for me.

well that is all for now, there will be more next time, I just dont want to bore u all:D . wasalam 'alaykom wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuh

As salam alaikum, ukhti!

Alhamdulillah, you are back with us safely. May Allah accept your deeds and hajj. Alhamdulillah, you stir the desire in my heart to go. Insha'Allah, next year.

I went on umrah with my brother in 1999 and we still talk fondly of the times that we spent there. With whom did you get to go?

An Egyptian brother took us into his home, fed, and clothed us. I still think of him and pray for him. Did you meet anyone who will always remain in your heart?

I am eager to hear your stories!

As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

Thanku Dan, I really do hope that Allah accepted from me, and yes do keep it in mind, and all of u brothers and sisters one never knows what might happen to him.

U know I was supposed to go with my sister her daughter and her husband as well as my brother but something happened and they cancelled, but I just couldn't cancel, I wanted to go and I did not let anything to stop me, in Kuwait u cannot go alone, u must go by groups with carriers, we have many here u pay an amount of mouny it depends on the carrier u r going with and how many persons in one room, and then u dont have to worry about anything, food is served breakfast, lunch and dinner by boufets, there were servants cleaning the rooms, there are special buildings for Kuwaity cariers in Azeziya, they are like apartments, they are nice, and they were with us from the begining till the end, even when we went to throw stones at satan , the men of the carrier and the others surronded the women and we were right there in front of it, they were really very helpful, and they made many things very easy for us. So as u c I went alone without my family, but we were all one family, I met new friends there, they were all very nice ladies and relegious as well, and there were also scholars giving us lectures by microphones, the men were in one building and women in another, but microphones were connected to us we used to pray in jama3a behind the scholar by microphoone, it was really very nice and divine Alhamdulilah. There were many I met I will never forget, I took phone numbers of some, so that we can meet again so i made new friends, there is one who was special to me, she is a kuwaity dentist, she is a friend of my neice, I didnt know her or meet her until after the second day I reached there, she did not know how I looked like nor did I , I knew she was with us and so did she, but we never met before, and my neice told her to take care of me, but Alhamdulilah Allah Almighty took care of me every time I was alone. But still she was very helpful and a very nice and sweet person, and we are friends now.

There is one thing I would like to mention here, I know u brothers and sisters in Islam will beleive me, on day of Arafa, the trees, I swear they were prostrating, the leaves the branches they were all in a bowing movement, it was a wonderful scene, all of us in the bus we were saying SUbhan Allah, Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, everything in this universe prostrates to Allah and his onnes, and sorry to say not many humans do, and the second day after arafa, they were up again in their ordinary position, and another scene when we reached arafa camp, we sat outside our tent to pray, we looked at the sky, there were 2 big black birds, I never saw like them before they were flying in a rotating movemment around arafa for a long while without even flapping their wings, I think ordinary birds will be tired or fall if they kept in that position for a long time, these are signs from our lord that he is there with us watching, and insha'Allah all has been forgiven. well I have more but next time insha'Allah. take care Dan , and I hope next year u will be there and see what I saw on arafa day.

Welcome back and I am glad that your trip was a safe one.

My mother went to Haj when she was 7 months pregnant with me, so I kind of did my Haj, lol, I guess that does not count!

Alsalam alaykom

thanku intuition, haj is really a very beautiful experience, I hope that every muslim will do enough effort for going and not just sit and say I will wait when Allah will, just like u wait for everything in life, Allah will not help u if u do not help yourself, have the intention and what u can to go, and if it was stopped then u will take the ajr and u will go when Allah wills, but u must always have the intention and to save enough money for your trip. Well I guess not:) your haj in mama womb not accepted LOL. I will pray for u to go insha'Allah as soon as possible, we are in may now, and u won't beleive that I am still living in the holy feeling of haj, remembering every bit and piece of it, every thing i saw every story i heard, and I have the intention to go again insha'Allah, may Allah help me and accept me again. Thanku again intuition and insha'Allah u will go next year :smilingfl
