Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Dear Sister Saimah, indeed you and yours are among those!
Alhumdulillah to see you after some time Dear Asiyah…you probably remember the time I visited with these very same sandals when they were brand new, and me worrying if they would be taken from the front of the house
Why did it make you feel sad Dear Maryam? I felt only happiness with the gestures of the small boy and the driver, maybe the attitude to these humble sandals by some?
I guess we all take many things for granted Dear Umm-e-Shiraaz, and need constant reminders to bring our nafs in line and be content with simple things. Birkenstock use a different sizing system, so I am not sure, plus they even measure the width of the foot and have many variables in the one size.
Dear Sister in Islam, Ameen to the simplicity Du’a and may your yearning bring you here, Ameen.
I have just returned from Haram, but did not go to Rowdha, it is getting very difficult to get to the actual Rowdha these days, plus best I leave room for those who are here for a short time. I tend to sit under the inside umbrellas when the crowds are intense, but tonight I conveyed Salam from you all and made Du’a at the Green Dome.
See next post for the photo.
Wassalamu alaikum

Assalam Alaikum Dear Sister AlMiskeenah!
JazakAllahu for sharing such beautifull post, indeed how comfort we achieve by wearing in our feet and protects us from rubble of tiny stones mixed in with sand, rain and hot or cold surface of this earth, so sad we treat them like trash. JazakAllahu khair for making us realize the importants, without this we wouldn’t be able to walk further or reach our destination. {I am guessing the size of Birkenstock is between 7 1/2 and 8 } am I right?
Please remember us in your humble dua’s and convey our Salaam to our beloved Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
