Subhan’allah. If I am living for the dunya, Allah swt has truly given me a small insight into my situation in the hereafter. I feel as if I am being flayed alive! Everything is burning, hot, sharp, stinging pain… I’m sunburned – again! Subhan’allah, every year I do this to myself, even though I say I won’t. Maybe I forget the pain – its not as bad as last year though, al-hamdoulillah. I’m trying to dunk myself in cream in a hopeless bid to ward off the peelies, I know it won’t work… Haven’t been swimming yet, the water is like ice – and a little dirty after the rain we had yesterday afternoon and last night. A couple of groups of “schoolies” have arrived – we have a group of girls in the house on one side, and a group of boys on the other… Not much sleep tonight methinks.
I was sitting on the balcony having dinner this evening when I saw a dark shadow in the waves about 2 metres off the shore. The next thing I knew, there was a dolphin jumping into the air and riding the waves almost all the way to the sand, masha’allah it was so beautiful.
Practiced my Arabic today, God knows I need to – its pathetic really, in 4/5 years I haven’t even mastered basic reading. Kheir insha’allah now I have no choice – better get a wriggle on since there’s only three weeks till I’m off.
May Allah swt heal my pain, grant my family hidayah and make my trip a productive one for His swt sake.
