hajj is a jihad

Alhamdulillah praise be to Allah SWT for His blessing on us. During my journey to the holy land.... (it was a marvellous and great experience), i faced challenges and tests , i struggled to be patient and honest, my aim is for Allah SWT to forgive my sins and grant me His blessing in this life and in the hereafter.
reflecting on those days there, i solemly try to ponder upon the years ahead, when i recall the tradition of our beloved Prophet saw there, i want to be in his footstep, to do qurban every year, to always istighfar every day, to have good relationship with others, to be patient and honest, to respect others, to fill time with benefits, to give charity...everything is to be bring me closer to ALLAH the Almighty.
the last memory there engraved in my heart and mind forever, i enjoyed the tawaf and saie cheerfully, i had warm feeling upon completing the hajj, Alhamdulillah for the gift, baraka Allahu fik....
days after returning home, when people asked if i want to be there again, i was speechless, i was exhausted, i am trully in love with the place, soon i know insya Allah i'll be there again,
