Hijra

As you get older, your problems get fatter. Your food preference might differ, your liking for certain things might also change. As for myself, I noticed that most of the food or drinks that i dislike during my cute younger days became my favourites now. I used to hate nescafe but now i can’t live without it. And there are also things that you couldn’t care less about before..but now your eyes have opened for it.
During the good old days..I never care about Maal-Hijrah..all i know and excited about is New Year..yeah..all the celebration..fireworks..concerts here and there and most importantly is the public holiday. But now..after being a mother of 2, I’m slowly getting into the waves of Maal-Hijrah.
I’m also slowly trying to understand the actual meaning of Hijrah. Well without noticing it..i think most of us have "berhijrah" to a certain point in life.
Yeah..i think I’ve done this hijra…hmm let me see..
Yeap…few years back…I covered my hair..that’s a hijra..
then..few ups and downs in love life…and life has got to go on…that’s a hijra…
When i met my destiny..the person whom i want to spend the rest of my life with…and made the biggest move in my life…yes that a hijra..from being "me" to "us".
And i believe that there’s a blessing in every hijra made.
And probably you won’t notice that a decicion/ action that you have to make..be it bitter, sour or even sweet is a hijra…and probably not instantly that you will feel the blessing God will give for the move you make. It might be a few years down the lane…or even it might not come to you ..perhaps..to your spouse/children..grandchildren..and etc…
I hope to be a better wife..mommy..sister..daughter..daughter -in-law and a good muslimah.
