Insha’Allah this is the last post before Umrah and then the long trip Down Under. Insha’Allah I intend to blog a little once there. Meanwhile this is the latest in this City of Luminence and Peace….
..pavement work continues outside the fences of the courtyard.
The last glimpse of the Dome of Felicity until our return. May Allah Ta’ala extend His blessings to one and all during this emotional separation.
The new umbrellas have begun to arrive…these loaders have just left the first lot in front of Bab Salam.
I was hoping to see the first one raised into position, but it was not meant to be.
I am sure by the time we are back there will be several in place…such a massive project nearing completion, Alhumdulillah.
Friends currently staying in the top floor of the middle building. Masjid Abu Bakr in the foreground….
….with renovations revealing the origianl stone walls.
Views from their window….
….once the umbrellas are installed the courtyard will not be visible when they are open…
…and once the current construction is finished maybe the view of Masjid Nabawi will be no longer…
….Jannatul Baqi in the distance….I ask for your forgiveness for all that I may have said or not said, all the known and the unknown shortcomings, all the intentional and unintentional mishaps. And even though I will not be in the vicinity of our Beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam to convey your Salams, I take my ‘list’ with me to keep you all in my Du’a, Insha’Allah. Please remember this humble speck, with the hope that I will be brought back to this Mubarak dust, Ameen. May our love for each other for the sake of Allah Ta’ala unite us in Jannah, Ameen.
O ALLAH! Assist us all in our struggles as we endeavour to earn Your favours! Shower us all with Your mercy and accept our feeble efforts…guide us all to be stronger as we all journey to You on various and diverse roads. IGHFIRLANA YA GHAFOOR! Igfirlana ya Rabbana! Ighfirlana Ya Lateef! Wa Salli Ala Sayyidna Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wasallam and on his family and companions, one and all, RadhiAllahu anhum, Ammen.
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.
As-salamu’alaykum dearest aunty!
May you have a safe journey there and back; and may your trip be fruitful insha’Allah.
We shall miss you a lot
Muchos love and hugs,
FiamanAlah
Yours
Sidra

As-salaamu Alaikum Wa rahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
As-salaatu wasallaamu alaika Yaa Rasul Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
Today it must be like for you as it is for so many others who come and visit the Prince (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)
and bid farewell. For a short while only though. All will be well, Khala Nur,enjoy your trip, taking with you that breeze from Madinah al Munawarah, insha Allah.
“O Allah make such a way for me
That I take the road to Makkah
Madina abides in my heart
O Messenger of Allah my salaams on you.”
I feel you close although you’ll be travelling to the other side of the world and under! Rasul Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam will be close too!
“Dhoor ho jaae ye dhooree
Hasil ho jaae huzoori
Dhekh loon wo shakl noori
Dhil ki hasraten ho poori
May this separation vanish
As your presence is obtained
May I behold your shining face
And my heart’s desire be fulfilled.”

I don’t know whats got into me as I wanted to phone you before you left for Australia
Have a safe trip and enjoy your time with family and friends too, insha Allah. Doctor Sahib/Unlce will get their break from work too, insha Allah.
With love, duas and respect
Fiamanillah.
