Dzulhijjah, the twelfth and final month in the Islamic Lunar Calendar, marking the end of the year.
The CREATOR wants us all to end each of our living years with brotherhood forged and relationships rekindled, that is part of the reason why Haj to Mecca,
being at the centre of the earth, was set during the holy Dzulhijjah month.
Yes, it's one of the four holy months beside the holy Muharram, the first month of each year.
Both are holy months, and GOD strictly forbids fighting but building understanding and relationship for the betterment of all living creatures.
But, when one human's ego is bigger than his head, it is enough to stir anger in some of wicker and wicked hearts beings.
Then dissatisfaction and resentment went spiral, is going, and continues to...
Sacred or not the month of Dzulhijjah is, each heart's desire wins, despite GOD's blessing and warning that human's good (or evil?) deeds, are multiplied many times over.
Dzulhijjah is one of the month when one's heart will most likely be touched by HIS blessing or ...
As Dzulhijjah 1431 drew its curtain on Sunday, clouds enveloped the sky the whole day.
I had experienced of clouds like Sunday, with my phone roaming went dead the whole day.
Agitating to some, but ...
Those were days when our hearts and our whispers were heard...
To some who wants to believe ...
To some who wants to believe ...
It was the last days of Dzulhijjah 23 AH, or November 1st, 644 AD, that Saidina Umar r.a. while heading the morning prayer in Masjidin Nabawi, he was daggered with six blows over levy that he imposed on a foreign worker.
Thirteen others in the congregation were wounded, before the killer committed suicide by stabbing himself.
When he regained his conciousness, he reminded those surrounding him to stop praising his virtues and qualities.
He asked his son, Abdullah, to ask Aisyah r.a. for permission to be buried beside her Husband, The Prophet s.a.w., and her father, Saidina Abu Bakar r.a.
Umar was permitted to be buried, upon his death, close to to the two people that she was closed to, but with her weeping, she said,
"I had reserved the place for my own burial but I give Umar precedence over myself. Let him be buried there."
Umar was indeed happy that having his greatest wish fulfilled, saying,
"GOD bless Aisyah. She has fulfilled my greatest wish. Now I can die in peace."
Nothing makes Umar happier than to be close with The Prophet s.a.w. and Saidina Abu Bakar r.a.
"... But I think Aisyah has given me permission out of respect for me. When I die, take me to her house and ask again for her permission..."
"If she refused, bury me at Baqi'"
His son, Abdullah did as was instructed by his father when he passed away, and again, 'Aisyah gave her permission.
Before his death, Umar asked his son to estimate his unpaid debt - eighty six thousand dirhams*** inclusive of caliph salary that had been drawn from Baitul Mal.
His debt was to be paid from the money which his property will be put on sale.
About his funeral. he reminded his son to be moderate as should GOD Sees anything good in him, and should he is in GOD's favour, then GOD will change him a better shroud.
If otherwise, then he will be strip of all he has.
"... And be moderate in the grave that you dig for me, for verily if there be anything of good with GOD in my favour, HE will widen it for me, and if I have otherwise, HE will make it narrow for me to squeeze my body. "All Praise is to ALLAH. If all the treasures of this world were to be at my disposal, I would offer them as a ransom to be saved from the trial at the Day of Judgement." Umar continued.
These are words who succeeded Saidina Abu Bakar r.a., who, The Prophet s.a.w. had once remarked, "Abu Bakar's name shall be called out from all the gates of Paradise.
But the humble Saidina Abu Bakar r.a. used to say,
"I wish I were a tree that would be cut and done away with."
"I wish I were a blade of grass, whose life ended with the razing by some beast."
"I wish I were a hair on the body of a believer."
There was once when he was in a garden, seeing a singing bird, sighing deeply, he said,
"Oh bird, how lucky you are! You eat, you drink and fly under the shade of the trees, and you fear no reckoning of the Day of Judgement. I wish I were just like you."
Saidina Abu Bakar r.a. missed The Prophet s.a.w. so much that when he was ill, he was counting the days to eagerly waiting to 'see' The Prophet s.a.w.
He was always asking his companion,
"What day is it?" They said Saturday.
The next day he asked again
"What day is it?" They said Sunday.
Then he said, "I might die either today or tomorrow.
I wish to die on the same day as The Prophet."
But he did not.
He passed away (of food poisoning) on Tuesday Jumadil Akhir 21, 13 AH (August 23, 634 AD), befitting his ranking as the first caliph after the demise of The Prophet s.a.w., which was on Monday.
"The Messenger Believes in what has been Revealed to him from His LORD, as do the people of Faith.
Each one believes in GOD, HIS angels, HIS books, and HIS apostles.
"We make no distinction they say between one and another of HIS Messengers"
And they say,
"We hear, and we obey.
We seek THY forgiveness, our LORD, and to YOU is all journey's end."
On no soul does GOD place a burden greater than it is able to bear.
It receives every good that it has earned, and it will suffer every ill that it has earned.
Pray:
"Our LORD! Do not condemn us if we forget or fall into error!
Do not lay on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear.
Blot out our sins, and grant us YOUR Forgiveness.
Have Mercy on us. YOU are our Protector.
Help us against those who stand against Faith." - (Qur'an, 2:285, 86).

"4- HE created mankind.
5- HE taught him the speech.
6- The sun and the moon are with calculations.
7- And the stars and the trees they both prostrate.
8- And the sky, HE Raised it and HE set up the Balance.
9- That do not exceed in the Balance.
10- And Establish the Weight with the Justice and do not reduce the Balance.
11- And the earth HE laid it down for the creatures.
12- In it and are date palms having fruit sheaths.
13- And the grains of fragrant having herbs flowers husk.
14-Then with which favours of RABB of you two, you two will?" - (Al-Qur'an 55: 4-14).

As Dzulhijjah 1431 drew its curtain on Sunday, clouds enveloped the sky the whole day.
"It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowledge of all things." - (Qur'an, 2:29).

HE discharges the thunderbolts, striking with them anyone HE wills. Yet still they argue about ALLAH when HE is inexorable in HIS Power!" - (Qur’an, 13:13)
