*_HAJJ REFLECTIONS: THANKING ALLAH AZZAWAJAL AND THOSE HE USED TO BLESS THIS JOURNEY _*. BismilLah.
Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh.
Today marks Friday, the 12th of Dhul-Ḥijjah, as we gradually bid farewell to this year’s blessed Hajj and ‘Eid al-Aḍḥā season. We sincerely pray that ALLAH Azzawajal accepts the efforts, sacrifices, worship and du‘aas of all the hujjaj, and grants those who were unable to attend this year the means, health and opportunity to answer HIS divine invitation in the coming years. Aameen.
Personally, I would first and foremost like to sincerely thank ALLAH Azzawajal for honouring me with the invitation to visit HIS Sacred House, truly a journey of a lifetime and a favour that can never be repaid.
I would also like to humbly request special du‘aa for my beloved daughter, Shareefah, who sponsored this blessed journey from the savings of her very first job. May ALLAH Azzawajal immensely reward her, place barakah in her life, grant her pious husband and pious offspring, grant her success in this life and the next, and make her among HIS righteous servants. Aameen.
My sincere appreciation and prayers also go to every family member, My mothers, siblings friends and loved ones who contributed financially, emotionally or spiritually towards making this journey possible. May ALLAH Azzawajal reward you abundantly and multiply your kindness in ways beyond imagination.
Special mention and heartfelt gratitude to my junior brother, Salifu, one of my closest friends, Ali, and all those who supported this blessed journey one way or the other for their generous financial and emotional support. May ALLAH Azzawajal elevate their ranks, forgive their shortcomings and shower them with endless mercy and blessings. Aameen.
To my beautiful wives and children, I say jazakumullahu khayran for your patience, encouragement, support and motivation throughout this sacred journey. May ALLAH Azzawajal preserve you upon goodness and unite us all in Jannatul-Firdaws. Aameen.
I would equally like to thank all followers of the Daily Islamic Reminders for your patience, continuous support and sincere du‘aas during this period. Your prayers and kind words have truly meant a lot. May ALLAH Azzawajal accept it from us all and keep our hearts firm upon HIS religion. Aameen.
On this blessed day of Jumu‘ah, while standing in the blessed land of Makkah, I pray that ALLAH Azzawajal accepts all our du‘aas, grants us that which is best for us in this dunya and the akhirah, forgives our past, present and future sins, eases our hardships, heals our hearts and keeps us steadfast upon Islam until our final breath. Aameen.
Our Daily Islamic Reminders will officially resume tomorrow, Saturday, in shaa ALLAH.
May ALLAH Azzawajal continue to guide, protect and distance us from every satanic influence, evil temptation and misguidance. Aameen. Eid Mubarak to you all.
