What a relief!
Why did I said that?
Im not sure, but that what Im feeling right now. I feel healthier. I could maintain my jolly intonation around my colleagues. I could walk and go up the staircase without panting heavily. I could think clearly. I could laughed with and could easily smile to anyone.
For the past few weeks, I’ve enrolled myself in a fitness center. I felt much lighter just by thinking of it, although the weighing machine is not so co-operative.
I’ve learned as much as I could as a preparation of my coming visit to the holy land, Mecca. I’ve forgave everyone I know. I also forgave myself.
I’ve set my mind to be closer to God.
I’ve prayed to God for my kids to get a flying colors in their exam and to lead a better life.
I’ve set my mind to go. Even if for some reason I could not come back, at least I will not feel being burdened by obligations.
But there is something that I am not ready though. I'm not ready for a proper Muslim costume. I still want to keep my ‘free-hair’. I need to feel the air blowing to my scalp. I will pray to the Almighty to give me His 'Hidayah'(‘the calling’) though. Hopefully I will come back in a proper attire. But if I don't, I hope He will at least keep me away from any other sins, not adding to what I am already having and keep me away from being judged in a negative manner through my dressing. Amen…
to SOME people the 'costume' and HOW you wear it depicts who you are and it is SAD that sincerity is not even valued!
