Assalamualaikum. Haji season is here again, Alhamdulillah. Most of the Singaporean pilgrims have made their way to Madina or Mecca. I pray a safe journey to and fro for all pilgrims who are going to be Allah's guest this year, insyaAllah. I hope my turn will come soon. I also pray for Thailand's pilgrims who are stucked in Bangkok International Airport. Hopefully, their journey will be made easy and get to Madina and Mecca as soon as possible. I am really jealous of those who are in Madina and Mecca to study as I get to know from a source that some of them get to perform their pilgrimage as schools are on holiday this season. How cool can that be! Apart from this, they get to perform their solat in Masjidil Nabawi and Masjidil Haram respectively. For those whose family members are going, please dont be sad, I know it is inevitable as tears will definitely roll down our cheeks, but just remember they are going for a good!
Kepada semua para jemaah haji 1429 Hj, saya ingin mengucapkan selamat menunaikan rukun Islam yang ke lima ini. Bagi mereka yang terkandas perjalanannya di Lapangan Terbang Internasional Bangkok untuk ke Tanah Suci, saya berdoa agar perjalanan mereka diteruskan dan dipermudahkan, insyaAllah. Ya Allah, betapa kagumnya saya pada para jemaah ini semua kerana insyaAllah mereka akan menjadi para tetamu Allah di masjid teragung di dunia iaitu Masjidil Haram. Dari padang Arafah lalu ke Muzdalifah, bermalam di Mina untuk melontor tiga jumrah. Padang Arafah... Padang Masyar, tempat kita semua berhimpun nanti. Saya berdoa agar diberikan kesempatan, keimanan, rezeki, kesihatan dan keluangan waktu untuk menunaikan fardhu Haji ini. Saya ada target yang tersendiri, Alhamdulillah, kalau nak kata seru tu sudah ada, tetapi fulusnya masih belum kecukupan lagi. InsyaAllah, tidak lama lagi.
