11th Ramadhan = 26.05.2018
There were so many
people today! It turned out that today was the day where a few strands of beard of the prophet Muhammad PBUH was brought from
Turkey. (PBUH is an abbreviation of peace
be upon him also often written as SAW. SAW is the abbreviation for the arabic
phrase which carries the same meaning as PBUH)
I heard about it before, that during Ramadhan the
beard will be rotated to mosques all over Germany to be shown to the muslims. I saw it once when I visited Topkapi
in Istanbul. Having seen the prophet’s beard
again brought the sense of longing for him. I am
sure all of the people there felt it too. Some
even shedded tears for missing the prophet so
much.
As for me, to be honest, I felt embarrased about myself. It was only his beard but I stood far away from it. I was thinking, what if he was
there? What if he asked me what I have done as
one of his followers. I had no answer for that.
I was not ready to meet him, I couldn‘t face him. I was
ashamed of myself – I still am. How can I wish
to meet him when I’m not ready, and most
importantly when I am still too far away from
being good enough to have the privilege to meet him.
May this feeling haunts
me forever and help me follow all of his teachings.
