Back From The Holy Land

3:50pm was their ETA at the airport. My parents-inlaw, my bro-inlaw, his wife and daughter were scheduled to land at KLIA airport. They have been away visiting the holy land, Mecca, for almost 2 weeks.

We gave them a home coming surprise. What a wonderful children my parents-inlaw have. They are every parent's wished. They did all the arrangement including groceries, inviting the 'Ustaz' to head the Du'a (prayers) and preparing the food and beverages.

Duty were distributed among the siblings. Who do what, what to do, where to do, etc. Way to go You'ol!

By 5:30pm, everything were ready on the table. We waited with eagerness. While waiting, we listened to the 'ustaz' telling stories about the history of the Prophet Abraham(PBUH) and his beloved son, the Prophet Ishmael(PBUH).


As expected, around 6pm, we showered their arrival with well whishes, lead by the 'ustaz', asking for Allah's blessing to The Prophet Muhammand and his companions.
'Sallallah 'ala Muhammad, Sallallah 'alaihi wasallam.....'


It was so wonderful to see their expression. Mummy paused, speechless, touched. Papa could not say anything but stood there, with teary eyes. Thank God, Papa, Mummy, Irad, Mas and Laikha were safe and sound throughout their journey.
The event was blessed with full of love exchanged through hugs and kisses between the parents and children, brothers and sisters, inlaws and inlaws. All and all, the house were showered with love and happiness, and or course.....FOOD!
The rest of the evening spent at the living room listening to their stories. Stories from the holy land.
