Children of Adam & Eve

Posted By Snow at 12/15/2009

Sold at Bin Dawood. If I'm not mistaken, made in China (◠v◠)

The people I met in Mecca ...

If I were friendly, hajj would be more fantastic. Get to know my brother & sisters of all races. وجعلناكم شعوبا وقبائل لتعارفوا [Q49:13] I think if I were friendly, maybe we could take photos with people of all colors. واختلاف ألسنتكم وألوانكم [Q30:22] Still, at least I've conversed with some. The granny that blow kissed me - she has an Arab, Turkish look. A Pakistani auntie - understand no ... nehe (नहीं). An arab girl smiled as I said "shukran (شكرا)". The cashier counter guy said "Malaziya? (الماليزية)". Nod nod. "Saudi?" I should've said that, it could be funny. But I only had that idea afterwards. Ahahah ...

Language-wise, some pilgrims speak their own tongue as if I can even understand it.

Anyway, some Saudi shopkeepers actually speak Malay. الحمد لله (◠v◠)

All & all, seeing all races created by Allah SWT ... ماشاء الله If anybody is still proposing beauty as a measure - I think my idea of handsome is now raised pretty high. As fate would have it, I saw a very handsome man sitting next to my bag at Safa. & that's why good deeds best defines a human, coz not all guys could look like him. نضرة و سرورا [Q76:11] سبحان الله

I did wish to ask, did the old man sleeping on cardboard has a great story to tell of his journey.

I LOVE THAT GRANNY! \(^v^)/ ♥♥♥

And... Is it true Jeddah means "grandmother"? Is it true it's where Eve is? Wow. Anyway, the tragedy in Jeddah was somewhat during wuquf, is it true? I did buy ArabNews to read what's going on with the flood.

Innalillah.

...............

Yeah for some reason, I enjoy seeing the old pilgrims. An old man was looking around at the shops - bread, stuffs. Was he thinking of gifts to get back home. I wonder if he has money.

Another old man gave me such a twinkly eyes & nice smile - I'm so grateful! Even with the scruffiness, that's the best smile I remember. Besides that granny's of course. (^v^)

The young? The workers at my hotel greets me. One caterer guy, he even knows my departure flight "So you're leaving tonight?" Ummm... TQ for knowing! (^v^) He even knows my family members, "aren't you taking meals for them". Ummm... TQ. الحمد لله (^v^)

I think I wish I have a smiley happy face, coz meeting people is very nice. I truly enjoy it, if only I weren't self conscious. Amen. Actually, by Allah & He Knows Best - I was "forced" to greet perfect strangers, so many of them. Some smiled, some are shy etc, just don't take it personally Nisa. I truly enjoy it.

The most shy, I remember is the old man who injured his leg. I was pointing at his wound - a big red one - but he just lowered his head. So, being me & easily feeling unwanted, I left him.

I think I should've called the guards for medical attention. (^-^)

There's another granny who was saying something to me. I didn't understand it. But afterwards, I worry of she needs medical help. I went back & الحمد لله there are others with her. I felt so useless I cried.

I wanted to buy that scale model of Masjidil Haram... but.. I didn't. (>-<) Ha ha I dunno. I'm somewhat like, I love something I see but I dunno. If it haunts me afterwards maybe that is really something I should buy.

Just like that old man? Ha ha (^v^)

Worse coz I actually took photos (~p~)'

Oh! I remember a handsome arab, algerian looking guy who was very nice. I think I was going down the escalator. & he was like a waiter "pls, ladies first" with that hand gesture ha ha... I feel so respected, now I feel like I'm his mom. (◠v◠)v

The other guy I met was at the Jamrat. He taught me to stone with more force. He's like, showing it by example.. coz you know, the language barrier. I know mine was like a debris rather than an asteroid... (~p~)

Hmmm & I kinda wish I see young Turkish ladies pilgrims, coz isn't it interesting to see a blonde muslima. I did meet one very beautiful woman after saie, she wanted to borrow the scissors to cut her hair.

Seriously, I think there were handsome & beautiful people, the beauty magazines promoting the most beautiful should just shut up. LOL. (◠v◠)v

يا غلام إني أعلمك كلمات
احفظ الله يحفظك
احفظ الله تجده تجاهك

إذا سألت فاسأل الله
وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله

واعلم‏‏ أن الأمة لو اجتمعت
على أن ينفعوك بشيء
لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء
قد كتبه الله لك

وإن اجتمعوا
على أن يضروك بشيء
لم يضروك بشيء
إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك

رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحف
