Striving while waiting for the call


Labbaikallahumma labbaik
Labbaika La syariikalakalabbaik

                                

It was not long before when I was one of the guest of the Holy land. Hearing the sermon all over again remind me toward my experience of umrah recently this year before Ramadhan. Altogether I wonder whether I've changed myself for the better or not. I've entered a new phase of working experience now as an MO and also in a new place. Alhamdulillah, Allah made my path easy for me so far... in few days time I'm going to start my first on call and while waiting for that call I need to strive my best and prepare myself everyday. I suppose that should be what I'm doing in preparing for hajj and off course preparing myself in meeting Allah in the hereafter. Everyday is a striving day for the better and for us to prepare while waiting for the call..the final call... InsyaAllah.

                                               

I'm sharing here a nice song by Irfan Makki on Hajj - truly an inspiration one. May the spirit of hajj always be in our heart of Muslim as to rekindle our Imaaan...

                                    
Miles away, oceans apart
Never in my sight always in my heart
The love is always there it will never die
Only growing stronger a tears rose down my eye

I am thiking all the time
When the day will come
Standing there before you
Accept this Hajj of mine

Standing in ihram, making my tawaf
Drinking blessings from your well
The challenges that I have suffered
And might rekindles my imaan

O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
I feel alive and I feel strong
I can feel Islam running through my Veins
To see my Muslim brothers, their purpose all the same
Greeting one another, exalting one True Name
I truly hope one day that everyone's a Muslim.
That they remember you in everything they say

Standing in ihram making my tawaf, making my tawaf
Drinking blessings from your well
The challenges that I have suffered
And might were rekindles my imaan

O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
O Allah! I am waiting for the call
Praying for the day when I can be near the Kabah wall
