New Year 2010

1st January 2010 was just like any other days .Nothing special .One thing that I realize was that time flies very fast these days . I can't beleive it that I would be 63 years old on 10th. July 2010 , 7 months from today .This age is very crucial . I do not know how many more years I would live in this world. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad once said that the majority of his ummah would live between 60 - 70 years , although there would be some who would live longer or even shorter than that . He himself died at the age of 63 years .


Not that I am afraid to die because every body would die one day , any way . The questions I used to ask myself were am I ready to face God ? Have I made enough preparations - in that sense , have I done enough good deeds to mankind ? Of course I have repented on all the sins that I have committed and determined not to repeat them . That is not good enough . I must fullfill all my obligations to Him . I must also go for my Haj for the second time in order to rectify whatever mistakes I could have done while performing my first Haj . This time I want to make sure that I will not make any mistake so as to enable for my Haj to be accepted as a Haj Mabrur . I want to come back as clean as the piece of white cloth .


Any way who am I to say that . I am just a tiny black dot in the face of Allah . He is the most almighty ,most beneficient , most gracious and most merciful and we have no say .The most we could do is appeal and pray .
