Im sitting here in bed swaddled in layers like a sick baby feeling especially sorry for myself. After spending a beautiful New Years Eve in prayer and remembrance with my Soul Family I started to feel unwell, the beginnings of a flu that I knew would eventually catch up with me as my husband has been fighting it for more than 10 days. I knew it was just a matter of time, but I didnt anticipate the time would fall right in the middle of Mawlid season. For the last 3 days I have experienced the worst flu symptoms ever, from extreme fever to extreme chills, nausea, chest infection and more, there were moments when I felt like I had malaria again! And all this is happening during this Golden time, the time when the lovers of the beloved are uniting in praise of the final Prophet (saw) and Glorification of Allah for manifesting His Light and Mercy to the world. And here I am at home drinking Lemsip under my duvet watching video clips and having a little cry and seeing photos posted by lovers all over the world ecstatic in love, SubhanAllah. The photos and videos that touch me the most are those in Medina Baye, Senegal a place that was my home for most of 2014 and a place where I spent the last two Mawlids on the rooftop of the eldest son of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse(ra), and after contemplating on the Prophet (saw) last year I fell asleep under the moon, it was perfectly perfect. It feels so familiar yet so far away :( I know Allah is All Knowing, All Wise and I know sickness is an expiation of sin, but it really and truly sucks to be sick right now! All Hamdullilah Ala Kulli Hal. Pray for me pleeeeeease.
