I remembered struggling to understand the verses recited by the Imam during one of our salahs in al-Haram, Makkah. What touched me is that he wept while reciting the verses. What was it that made him weep? What was he reciting? What did it mean? Sadly, I didn't understand the meaning of a single verse he recited apart from al-Fatihah. I was praying, my body bowed down but not my heart.
That experience made me realise I must learn the language of the miracle Qur'an.
I've got three wonderful books for a start, coupled with the knowledge I have gained from Ustaz Zulkiflee. May Allah bless him. I've renamed these books by it's colour. The blue book, the white book and the black book.
I got the blue book from Madinah so I've had it with me since and have been my bedside book. I bought the white one from Salaam Media a month ago but I've barely started. I got the black one yesterday also from Salaam Media and this motivates me even more (my husband said I 'pajak' that bookstore liao due to my frequent visits and purchases, lol). So, don't be surprised, the next time I update my blog, I would write in Arabic! Hehehe.
Alhamdulillah. I thank Allah for all the blessings He has given me.
The next time I'm in Makkah, when I bow, my heart and my soul will follow. InsyaAllah.
