Wayakum. Ameen – may Allah accept you and your family and all of us to visit His House and the Masjid of His beloved Prophet SAW frequently!

My heart yearns to go see the Kabaa, I pray Allah invites me and my family soon. We had plans to go some years back but it was not meant to be.

Such a beautiful question and we can all relate to it! So many intentions and aspirations after you visit the Kaaba and spend time in the company of Prophet’s Mosque and then you fluctuate in your strength of faith and commitment once you are back. This is indeed the how the faith of the believers are and it is only natural.

Like the famous story of Hanzala RAD, the famous companion of the Prophet SAW when he came rushing back to the Prophet SAW when he saw his level in faith changing when he goes back to his family and daily routine. But the Prophet saw explained this was only normal and he also added if the companions always maintained the spiritual state they were in while in the presence of the Prophet SAW even the angels would shake hands with them (meaning this is not normally achieved).

I hope that answers your question. Let us keep asking for forgiveness, keep with the pious, keep asking for guidance and make our best efforts. We will find Allah inshaAllah!

Would love to read you diary! Please share the link. You are right everyone gets so excited and can talk about one’s Hajj experience whole life. One of my dad’s friends was short tampered and we used to ask him to tell us more about his Hajj experience whenever we needed to divert his attention and calm him down. It worked every single time 😉 May Allah grant him Jannah.

Then the purpose if this article is fulfilled 🙂 May Allah accept you and all of us again and again!

Ameen! Yes, absolutely. You can read about Tawakkul all you want, but you will really learn it in the streets!

Hajj i may say’ s simple coz with haniya & determination. During pilgrim, one observes diff kinds of act & start 2 increase in iman(belief) leading 2 making oath/ promise not 2 move 2 don’t of Alkah. But @ coming home, people forget there promises & their believes is declining. What do u think is d major problem? Do u think is cause of satan? Environment? Society?

Hajj is a journey that teaches you so many lessons that you can talk or reflect about them for the rest of your life.

Alhamdulillah, I had the honor to be hosted by Allah this year. For me, the greatest struggle was to keep my intention pure when the struggles of hajj put me at the boundary. Sometimes I became annoyed with the crowd (in hearts but never expressed in words) and sometimes even thoughts like ‘why I am going through such and such’ came into my mind. I really regret those feelings and that is why I really hope that Allah gives me another chance to perform hajj.

Nonetheless, hajj was a real eye opener. I am also writing my hajj diary in my blog and you may want to read it 😉
