“Every journey is personal.
Every journey is spiritual.
You can’t compare them, can’t replace, can’t repeat.
You can bring back the memories but they only bring tears to your eyes.” - Riana Ambarsari
Sajadah untuk Siapa Saja Masuk lobby hotel dan mata saya tertuju pada tumpukan sajadah bersih yang tersedia untuk dipakai tamu hotel. Di lobby, bukan di kamar! Sebuah layar televisi plasma raksasa tidak mungkin terlewat siapapun yang melewati front desk. Dzikir pagi, dzikir petang, dan dzikir-dzikir penenang hati ditayangkan, terlantun tanpa berhenti. Non stop, siang malam tanpa jeda. Menyejuki hati saya dan memicu pertanyaan, “Hotel macam apa ini?!”
Hajj Series Part 18: Some Beautiful Short Videos I Just Couldn't Let Go
I put together 2 videos already, depicting our journey on the day of tarwiyah, where hajj began, from our maktab to Mina, and our journey walking together with muslims all over the world from Arafah to Muzdalifah then to Jamarat. They are on my previous posts, in case you missed them.
But I found a few short videos and they hold beautiful memories to my heart. So I put them all together here. I apologize not to be able to tell more stories about them here. Maybe one day we'll chat over coffee, I'll be honor to tell you about each and every one of these. If not in this dunya, may Allah reunite us in jannah and we can continue talking.
May Allah give His Rahmah to us all. Aamiin.
Enjoy the videos!

With this, I'm wrapping up my notes on hajj journey. Still there are too many stories left untold, I apologize not to be able to convey those all. Untill now, I am still overwhelmed each time I remember this journey or think about it.
I have only this strong advice for you: go on your hajj while you're young. Do not wait. Do not hesitant. Make you first step, any first step, and Allah will make a way for you.
May Allah forgive all my sins, mistakes and shortcomings and make this series a way of barakah to anyone who crosses path with it. Aamiin.
