THE HAJJ SEASON 1428
The Light
the light is ethereal
drowning
drown the dross
illuminate all that is made to glisten
a diffusing convergence
a rarefaction of the temporal
with the Divine
LIGHT fills hearts emptied of nothing but
LA ILLAH ILLA ALLAH
Light from the LIGHT SUPREME Subhanahu wa Ta’ala
Lovers of the beauty of Light SallAllahu alaihi wasallam
congregate
yearning to be pierced
a glow of radiant eternity
an invitation
take it
open it
reply
as the frenzied locusts
unabashed with passion do
and the last of the Hujjaj
seek a final dance in this intoxicating swirl
before Labbaik
and the LIGHT
of the House of Light.
*
O Allah shower Thy Blessings upon our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wasallam who is light, actual light and the mystery amongst the mysteries and the leader of excellents.
ALLAH HUMMA SALLE ALA SAI-YAE-DAE-NA MUHAMMADIN NOO-RIL AN VA RAE VA SIRIL AS-RA-RAE VA SAI-YAE-DIL AB-RA-RAE. AMEEN (Durood Nur)
Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas RadhiAllanu anhu has related that he heard the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wasallam while going for Salatul Fajr reciting the following Du’a:
O Allah,
Pour Nur in my heart,
Nur in my seeing,
Nur in my hearing,
Nur on my right,
Nur on my left,
Nur behind me,
Nur in front of me,
Nur above me,
Nur below me,
O Allah bestow me with Nur,
Make me Nur,
Nur in my nerves,
Nur in my flesh,
Nur in my blood,
Nur in my hair,
Nur in my skin,
Nur in my tongue,
Make my whole being Nur.
Grant me profuse Nur,
Make me Nur.
AMEEN.

O Allah, make all the Hujjaj transmitters of Your Nur, Ameen.
Two articles from Arab News today, one about Madinah, the other Makkah during these auspicious days preceding the ebullient Hajj. Arab News usually provide a good coverage of Hajj stories, Insha’Allah check their site for updates.
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.
Dear Aunty Noor al Madania (ala sahibihi afdal as salatu wa taslim!)
Please keep me in you duas during these blessed days.
And Amin to your duas above.

Salaams Dearest Sister,
Ameen!
Alhamdulillah! Majestic pictures! Illuminating words! Your words that come from the heart, being the message of the soul, invade other hearts and fill them with Nur.
Ya Allah! Send Your blessings upon Prophet Muhammad(SAW), His family, His companions and those who follow him till the day of Judgement.
a humble request- sister, please do remember me in your prayers in the blissful surroundings.
Jazaak Allah for your loving presence.

Assalamu alaikum,

Dear ALL…so often it is your presence and your requests that keep me going and motivate with this blog and for me to set off on ‘begging journeys’….as it was today by visiting the courtyard stating all your pleas…my words are less than humble, but Allah Ta’ala is GREAT….He surely hears…and He surely responds in the best manner for us all, He is Al-Hikmah, His Wisdom knows what is best for us all…as He says in the Hadith Qudsi:
My slave, you want and I want
but nothing will occur except what I want.
So if you obey Me in what I want
I will give you what you want.
But if you disobey Me in what I want
I will tire you seeking what you want.
But nothing will occur except what I want.
Wassalamu alaikum
