Oh Mountains of Mecca, how did you mourn on the day that the beloved returned to his Lord...
aa wr wbwent to the 'Remembering the Beloved' event yesterday with Imam Suhaib Webb and the awakening crew. comments: mashAllah. nothing more to say really. it was amazing alhamdulillah (albeit very long; 6:30-11:00pm). but really, such an eye opener as to how and why the prophet deserves to have such an elevated position in our hearts- above our parent, family and even ourselves.
i mean how many of us appreciate that Allah has elevated the prophet (s) such that his name is placed next to Allah's in the shahada? how many of us appreciate that on the day of judgement when all the prophets will turn humanity away in fear for themselves, only our prophet (s) will be the one who loves us so much that he will be willing to speak for the whole of humanity to Allah to ask that the judgement be started and that people be forgiven? or that he will be the one to pray that the believers all pass safely over the sirat (the narrow bridge over hell to heaven) as they walk over it. or that he will be the only one the guardian of heaven will be willing to open the gates of heaven for before everyone else can enter? we owe him for passing the message to us amidst all the hardship so that we may be guided, and it may be because of his pleas to Allah that we are spared punishment for our sins on the day of judgement. really theres so much to appreciate. note to self: start reading a decent detailed version of the seerah. inshAllah shall try and follow in pink's footsteps and put notes up.
after the event we went and ate out (around midnight). were bally well famished. went down to jaffa's with me friends and guzzled gratefully on shawarma-although one of my friends could not understand how the rest of us enjoyed something so flavourless so much, lol. well i guess it is an aquired taste, especially when one is used to spicey curries. though really-not that flavourless!
moving on, am having guests today. ruby apa (nas's big sister and our sister in charge) is come up with her clan of hubby and 3 little boys. have been scrubbing since i got back from college and have yet to cook. i don't know what to cook. being a non pro in all aspects i shall have to attempt to whip up something edible (and non mortiferous-think i just used that word entirely out of context). good Lord theyre gona be subject to Student Food. and its the first time they (or any member of our new extended family besides nas) are coming really. one contemplates in apprehension-not that one really worries too much-ruby apa is One Of Us. but i KNOW i won't be able to do them real justice (nas your presence would be desired even more so than usual-if possible-but you have exams!). dekha jak ki hoi!
well, shall rush off now to prayers and domestic work :S :).
ws, love & duas
dazey
