The haj season comes again. All the memories of my pilgrimage last year suddenly come into my mind. Feels like they were only yesterday.
The truth is, I really missed all the moments there and I wish, at this very moments, I'm there to witness the gathering of all tetamu Allah, take the opportunity to be closer to Allah, and his messenger baginda Rasulullah saw too. Man...you don't know the greater feeling of being a muslim if you are not there. These are ibadat performed by the rasuls before us and we should be proud to do the same. All the pain and suffering we faced there were nothing compared to what our rasul had gone through during their dakwah day. I'm sad when I heard people's complaining about this and that, maybe they did'nt understand the ibadah itself...that we are destined to be in 'kusut masai' state so that we feels our weaknesses, and we are at the mercy of Allah. Every one is the same, irrespective of where you come from, how rich are you.
But then again, it is all up to us actually...what our 'niat' in the first place. If the title 'Haji or Hajah' before our name is what we strive for then, that is what we will get. As for me, I only strived for my haj to be accepted by Allah and hoped that what I've learned there, we have an impact on me for the rest of my life meaning increased in iman and taqwa to Allah swt. Coz to me, the haji itself is just a training ground so that we we back home, we can practised what we have learned there. To remain close to masjid in our heart, solat jemaah and keep our iman and taqwa to Allah all the time.
My target now, in five years time I will be there once again...InsyaAllah!
