Never been in my life had I felt so content and in peace, until my visit to the holy land. It was my very first time and it was a last minute decision for me to suddenly change my spring promenade to Japan to a religious trip to Medina and Mecca.
I'm humbly happy beyond words..
Subhanallah...
My reason was simple, I wanted to find my inner peace. I was feeling uneasy the last couple of months, hopelessly exhausted with daily life hassles, stucked in between work and school, also other bits and pieces life has given me. As much as I tried to stay tall and strong, this small voice inside my heart keep on pushed me to go and have a 'rest'.
The whole 9 days were definitely opened my eyes, it changed my life. I've never seen so much love, faith, goodness, obedience, and discipline as much as what I've seen in the holy land. It was amazing to see what hope and belief can change and turn a human into, changed all the mundane activities into a worship.
I'm thankful and grateful, for every tears behind the smiles, every hopes and prayers that comes from a pure heart, and every strangers that becomes family.
Alhamdulillah...
