I had last night what I
call one of my 'goodness' snapshots of Ramadan.
As we began to make the
suff for esha salah at our masjid, and I, focusing just on joining feet to feet
and side by side, was having my spot close to this woman, she pivoted, glanced
me full in the face with an excellent enormous natural grin, eyes sparkling,
and said: 'Sister, I love you!'
Briefly there I was
completely puzzled, as my programmed reaction framework looked hysterically for
the right Arabic answer to this educated by the Prophet saw… .the imam was
arriving at the finish of his iqama… the sister was all the while grinning at
me eagerly… .(my brain was hustling: Did she know me? Did she remember me from
some place? Did it matter??!!!)
Then, at that point
Alhamdulillah some great sense kicked in… my arm went round her shoulders to
give her a warm crush and I had the option to mutter something about adoring
each other for Allah, and Allah tolerating all our great deeds and goals in
this favored month, on this amazing evening… ..trusting my signal would pass on
what I was unable to place in words lucidly… ..golly!!!
Yet, it's anything but a
unimaginable second as far as the sheer warmth it enlivened in me I actually
feel the shine… ..That in itself is something to consider when I consider our
hearts normally so desensitized and dead that passings of individual Muslims
somewhere else on the planet are simple measurements for us and their enduring
don't move our lips to absolute a couple of expressions of certified dua.
I thought about the
"Basic Good Deeds in Ramadan: Smile – It's a Charity" tip I had given
to my children and was lowered to understand that this lady had shown me so
essentially that we need to take these interminable pieces of astuteness,
customize them, and make them "our own"… .not simply transform them
into futile demonstrations done on auto-pilot.
At the point when I
returned home, I took out my crate of dua cards and booklets to revive my
memory about what my fluffy mind couldn't remember on the spot. Ok! there it
was… .the card from such countless years prior when our little parade of 5
understudies had made that important outing up to Canada for our Convocation at
Alhuda back in the late spring of 2008… .and I had dove into the subject of
Friendship and Love for Allah azza wa jal… …
