A New Self

Just been back from hajj trip.

Physically I am exhausted. Very tired. But some spiritual flames light up my heart and mind. Enlightening and transforming heavenly light.

It started from one simple sentence from the beginning of Al-Fatihah verse. "Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin". It is so simple, so short. But like a nuclear reaction, it triggers a chain of enlightement to myself. That sentence means only to Allah that all respects go. And that means we, human beings, are nothing but powerless. And that gives no justification for being proud of anything. And so on, and so on...

Then suddenly everything changed. Allahu akbar... I just hope Allah maintains this enlightened soul. A new self of mine.
