Hajj
Bismillah...
Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah,
Sometimes Allah subhana wa ta ala extends to us each a means to
rectify ourselves and purify us of our sins and impurities. Often
times we have done nothing to deserve such mercy, but in His
Greatness, His Beauty, and His Majesty He still allows us in our
sinful states to return to Him.
Allah subhana wa ta ala has extended such an invitation to me and my
parents. InshaAllah on the evening of December 14th, 2006 I will be
departing from NYC to return back to His home to perform Hajj. Before
I set forth I would like to sincerely beseech you for forgiveness. I
would love to think that I have never done anything to hurt anyone,
but I know that is absolutely untrue. That is why I ask you for
forgiveness for both those actions that I committed intentionally or
unintentionally against you or those you love. I ask that you find
the mercy in your hearts to forgive me for such deeds, and that in
return Allah subhana wa ta ala open all doors of mercy and forgiveness
for you. If there is anything that I may have borrowed or taken from
you that you wish returned back to you pleeeease do not hesitate to
ask, and I will inshaAllah do what is in my power to return such
things back to you.
Lastly, InshaAllah you will all be in my duas, however if you have any
duas that you would like for me to make on your behalf, I will gladly
do so, so please send me in detail whatever it is and I will do my
best to make those duas throughout my journey. I ask that you please
keep my family and me in your duas, and pray that we return in a
purified state, and that Allah subhana wa ta ala accepts this Hajj and
makes it a means to grow closer to him and his beloved Messenger,
salalahua alayhi wa salam.
JazakAllah khair,
wassalamualaikum wa rahmatullah
