My Umrah Experience Part 2: Last day at Madinah

The bus will be leaving at around 3 oclock, we were given time to go to Raudhah untuk ucapkan selamat tinggal kepada Rasulullah SAW.

Pagi tu, lepas ceramah ringkas oleh Ustaz on umrah, I went straight to Masjid Nabawi alone around 10am.Niat di hati nak baca AlQuran sebanyak-banyaknya, solat sunat apa yang patut etc. My time inside the mosque was so little compared to others sebab uzur sebelum ni. Memang dah nekad tak nak keluar masjid sampai selesai zohor.

Tapi kita rancang je, tuhan dah pun tentukan aktiviti kita seterusnya apa. Saya ditegur oleh seorang mak cik yang rupanya terpisah dengan anak perempuannya.Dia panggil saya' mek'.She looked so worried.Mak cik ni tak boleh jalan tanpa dipimpin.She said she wanted to go to the toilet, hati saya masa tu berbelah bagi. Toilet agak jauh dari letaknya kasut saya,niat di hati pulak kononnya nak beribadah sebanyak-banyaknya dalam masjid. I guess theres a hikmah in all of these and saya pun temankan mak cik ke toilet without my shoes.

Selalunya bila di tanah suci, orang ramai akan ceritakan bagaimana mereka diuji, macam-macam cara Allah uji hambaNya. Bagi saya, ujian saya di tanah suci ini adalah ditemukan dengan pelbagai jenis manusia yang menyakitkan dan mengguris hati. But this mak cik is not one of them. I have the feeling that Allah sent me this mak cik to ease my negative perceptions on people her age memandangkan manusia yang sering menyakitkan dan mengguris hati saya di sini adalah dari golongan tua.Mak cik ni is so pleasing to be with. i felt like Ive known her for ages. After we went to the toilet, we stayed in the masjid, hoipng that her daughter will come and look for her here. Mak cik ni tak ingat dia hotel mana, I just told her that I will help her find her hotel right after solat and she agreed.and so we just sat there in the masjid and read the quran

Selesai solat, we went to my hotel first, she said the hotel looks familiar and to make sure, she asked me to bring her to the 7th floor. On our way, Subhanallah, she found her husband and cried that instance.She thanked and kissed me on the face, like literally my whole face. Coincidentally dia duduk di hotel yang sama. It was lunch hour so everyone was in the dining room. I went to mama and ceritakan semuanya kat mama. After lunch mama suruh cari balik makcik tu just to say goodbye.

I saw her eating with her daughter, she must have been very worried losing her mother for about 4 hours!but on second thought, she doesnt look that worried.Probably because she knew Allah will take care of her mother. and Subhanallah, Allah has chosen me to take care of her mother =') Alhamdulillah 

Makcik tu kissed me goodbye. She told everyone on the table how she felt happy when she saw me in the masjid. "Rasa gembira je bila nampak mek ni" still terngiang2 =)

Before I met that mak cik, I was honestly in a state of sadness. I was disappointed with people.I wanted to be alone all the time. I couldnt share my dissapointment, not even with my mother and brother. Maybe it's Allah's way for me to turn to Him during this time.I am so thankful to jumpa that mak cik =) Few hours being with her was such a blessing. 

Around 3 oclock kami pun berangkat ke Mekah. Rasa sebak sangat nak  meninggalkan bumi Rasullullah SAW. I will surely to visit you again ya Rasulullah =)
