Asalaamu Alaikum sweet peas...
I'm hoping the start to your weekend's are going well. If not, then I suggest we drastically do something about it. As for me, this weekend I'll be working as usual. With one week left until my final exam for the academic year I need to utilize all the weekends I get.
Having said that I shall now begin the topic of this post.
"But you run back and forth listening for unusual events,
peering into the faces of travellers.
Why are you looking at me like a madman?
I have lost a friend please forgive me."
- Rumi
It was 2011-2012 when I came across these four lines. At that time I was in a mess, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Alhamdulilaah (all praise be to Allah) through those months of trials, tears and tissues I met so many amazing people. Although these people came from different social backgrounds and ethnic groups they gave me the strength and courage to overcome whatever I was facing. Sometimes I would listen to their stories and it would be as if they knew exactly what was in my heart without me having to say it. When I look back I feel like those months were the most realistic days of my life, days where I was in utter pain yet going down on my prayer mat made me so content not only with my situation but with everything in my life. It was those very people that really made me understand what the above four lines meant. Now a year later after reading these four lines again I realise that wherever I am, I'm always on the lookout for these people as I did not have the chance to truly thank them for what they have done.
I was lost and you found me. For that I'm forever in your debt...
