This bubu was too beautiful not to wear again. It radiates sunshine and summer flowers.
Plus, good memories are attached to this fit. The first time I wore it was about a year ago when my eldest completed her first memorization of the Quran in Medina Baye (Kaolack), Senegal.
Eid Mubarak, y’all
May Allah allow us to see Dhul-Hijjah again and invite us to His blessed house.
Wherever I am, I try to seek Allah’s signs, or at least be open to receiving them.
Yesterday, I was in an IHOP parking lot picking up a daughter when I saw the hilal for Dhul-Hijjah.
Each sign is an opportunity for submission to the Creator of the sign. It’s not about my wants or my convenience, but rather, it’s about loving surrender to Allah’s decree.
This is one of the reasons I love sighting the moon.
“We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?” (Surah Fussilat 41:53)
