It seems hard to believe that I did not post at all last month ...since April 19 . What was I so busy with ? The days were FULL ... and the nights I became a recluse in my own home...
Rajab was my precious month of giving to my Rabb .. seeking to continue my own transformation in preparation to meet Him again . He will be choosing those beloved souls that He will take back to meet HIM this month ...let those who are going be ready for that meeting. Surrender every day to HIM !!!
Thank you for that fulfilling re-visit to London ..visiting my Mother's grave with Don. HE is my stoic, patient , dutiful brother ..of whom I am so proud. Thanks be to God for my birth family ... so supportive to me as a child. May Allah provide the best for Don as his years continue ... he deserves the BEST wherever he goes. AMIN>
Zakat was mainly fulfilled this month ... taxes were paid til next year in May .
As I look back or forward , I see Your hand in everything . Now today let me this day sit in Your tender embrace for a time. This contentment that comes only from YOU allows me to manage the rest of my week .. I am only what You make of me. I love you my RAbb... creative love for you is a form of worship . Thus let me create something good .
None of us knows what is in store for us ...down the road or over the bend ..or even into the Hereafter . BUT what I do know for sure is HE loves each and every one of us in ways that we do not even see or feel . Our commitment to HIM and to please HIM is our reply to His position of leadership in our lives. He is so kind that He gives us the choice in every action ... so He will not interfere in the events happening around us .
Shaban is our month to give reverence to the Holy Prophet who tirelessly obeyed Allah to show us how a man may perform . As a humble, contrite follower , I know that I can not ever be what our Prophet was ...but I can respect and love him in my heart . I am totality grateful for his example to remind me what truly matters. I am not worthy to touch his hem of his robe ( on my own) but I can remind others as I meet them of such virtues ... I am not sermonizing or lauding me ... simply remembering my own weaknesses .
