This year’s Arafah and first nine days of Dzulhijjah at home have been wonderful. Slow, quiet and peaceful.
It’s our chance to do few of Arafah related rituals for the first time, individually and together.
The standing of Arafah has always been heart thrilling.Arafah has been the day of an annual reminder about a glimpse of our future after this lowly world.
It’s something that makes other things shrink.
It diminishes specific wants and replaces them with greater goals.
May Allah receive our sincere worship.
Forgive all of our past, present, and future sins.
Fulfilled all duas, to the smallest detail, no matter how unrealistic they are.
I certainly have no knowldege about the first and the second, but, twelve years from my Arafah, it has been certain for the third.
Eid Mubarak, enjoy the big feast,
and for the countless time,
Free Palestine!
