there and back, Insha’Allah

Ya Rabb…
You hear and respond to every utterance as Your slaves gather in the Sacred Sanctuaries of the Haramain. And also as they sit, lie, stand, walk, travel, alone, in groups, in the freezing cold, in the scorching heat, on the highest mountains, in the deepest valleys, in the arid deserts, in lush green plains, by river banks, in dense forests, in crowded cities, in secluded villages, in grass huts, in marbled towers. With crying voices, pleading sighs, wishful whispers, joyous praises, muffled mumbles, strident begging, tearful sobbing, harmonious chanting, silent hoping, distressed murmurs, magnified glorifying, silent cadences, articulate tones, sincere stammers, in varied tongues, and multitudes of accents.
Ya Rabb…
Your slave’s wants have no end; health, marriage, children, possessions, ease, comfort, peace, justice, Iman, Ihsan, Taqwa, Mercy, hope, deliverance, safety, contentment, love, Sabr, Shukr, humility, trust, courage, respect, unity, happiness, wisdom, knowledge, honour, forgiveness serenity, friendship, joy, simplicity, tolerance, truth, modesty, repentance, courage, tranquility. While Your generosity has no end.
If every second an image of Your Sacred Sanctuaries were transformed into gems, I would thread them on a string of gold, creating a necklace as no jeweller could ever imagine. Instead I wear it around my heart where the eyes of the heart can permanently feast on Your Divine Presence and that of Your Present SallAllahu alaihi wasallam, You divinely gifted this Ummah. Assalatu was Salamu ‘alaika Ya Sayyidi Ya RasuluLlah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
“Exalted be Allah. All praise is due to Allah. Allah is the Most Great. There is no strength or might other than what is given by Allah”: May this declaration match the number of what Allah has created and the number of what Allah creates; the weight of what Allah has created and the weight of what Allah creates; the fullness of what Allah created and the fullness of what Allah creates; the fullness of His heavens and the fullness of His earth; the totality of all the afore-said and the multiples thereof; the number of His creatures, the weight if His Throne, the infinite limits of His Mercy and the ink of His words. May this declaration be such as to befit the extent of Allah’s pleasure, and may it continue to be echoed until Allah is pleased; and may it be such as to befit the continuity of Allah’s pleasure and match the number of instances in which Allah’s creatures have remembered Him throughout the entire times past ,and the number of instances in which His creatures shall remember Him throughout the entire times coming; year after year, month after month, week after week, day after day, hour after hour, breath after breath; from time immemorial to the infinite end of time; from the beginning of the world to the unending limits of the Hereafter; from the Beginning that has no beginning to the End that has no end.
Ya Rabb! Ya Lateef! Ya Wadud!

Insha’Allah, almiskeenah will be travelling to the House and back over the next few days. May all our Adiyah, from wherever we are and whatever conditions we face, bear the sweetest of fruits, as decided by Allah Ta’ala, the best of Planners and the Only One Who knows what is best for us, Ameen.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
