Hajj & the Blight of the Black Dots!
Okay, so it sounds like I’m linking to a straight-to-DVD, B-movie horror film with that title - but the thought of sharing a bathroom with two million strangers is enough to give anyone the shivers… Anyhoo, this post by IlmFruits reminds us why we should always concentrate on the positive - especially during Hajj:
Take a look at the following picture. What do you see?
Most people will say they see the black dot. Not the whole field of white dots.
That’s people for you! Despite all the white dots around us–our health, wealth, youth, our household, our family, our fine clothing–we only see the black dots… But one of the main ways to increase the quality of your Hajj is to focus on the white dots, not the black dots. Because Allah will test you–guaranteed–in ways you cannot imagine.
