The Day Of The Year That Time Flu Bye.
It was the last day of the Hijrah Calendar and I was so looking forward to this day. The day before that day, I was not feeling well but thought that I would feel better the day after.
My nose was not giving me its support and it kept me busy. Busy running looking for tissue paper or running towards the bathroom sink. During that time, it kept me wondering why this situation is known as to be having a running nose when it was I who have been running around.
After much running and blowing my trumpet in the bathroom without even thinking of what the neighbours would react to my not-so-proper and appetising call for the morning 'chendol', I looked into the mirror and beheld the truth.
It was the last day and my nose just blew my spirits away. Maybe it was seeking revenge at me who has been blowing its contents for the past three days. Yes, I have been putting up to the flu bug for the past three days and the level of my patience has gone high up to my nose.
If it were Christmas that day, Santa would have mistaken me for Rudolph. But it was not Christmas. It was the last day of the Hijrah 1428 and I was really really really looking forward to the observance ceremony at the neighbourhood mosque.
I was yearning and wanting to see Ustaz Mohamed Fatris Bakaram who is the Vice-Mufti of Singapore and Ustaz Jamaluddin Abdul Wahab who is the Executive Imam of Darul Ghufran Mosque. Both of them would be giving sermons and the event would include reading of the Do'a Akhir Sannah and Do'a Awwal Sannah.
So I made a last effort to overcome this unpredictable predicament. I rushed to the clinic to get medication and hopefully a swift cure to my ailment. This was what I received.
The doctor had prescribed me medications for my flu and sore throat. I was sternly told not to go to the office and was given one day sick leave!
Subhanallah! Was I really not well? You know what? The doctor was correct in her diagnose of my health condition.
I was having the worst fever by the time Maghrib arrived and if I had attended that gathering, I would have disrupted the Majlis.
Alhamdullillah .... Allah gives and takes what ever that belongs to Him anytime and whenever He wishes.
May the best of last year
be the worst of this year!
