Rule 4: Do not stay cooped in your dorm or your sleeping bags:) Lots of
wonderful people around, chat them up n you'd find out how extraordinary
these ordinary convoy guys r. Ukhuwah ie brotherhood, sisterhood n
robin hoods is in the air. Breathe the air of the camaraderie of
humanity. For these guys to b here they must be unique n ultra
special(yours truly excluded:) Just had a breakfast chat with an Irish
bloke and he among others said- peace is a much abused word, cos peace
without justice is meaningless! This coming from the legacy of discord n
warfare between the irish Protestant n catholic communities.
Rule 5: Quantum leap
your voluntary acts. This Arab guy raised his hands n volunteered to
clean the WC n shower zones. And believe me the sink bowls, shower areas
were very clean. P the glamorous dorm mate of Azra whom P the NZ
electrician described as immaculately dressed as tho in a five star
hotel also volunteered to clean WC. P btw removed the
fuses at the height of the storm to protect the electrical supply of the
camp. Expertise put to effective use without being told. Now I get
stopped for all sorts of complains from heavy periods, to UTIs to headaches to nausea vomiting diarrhea, to bp checks to blood
sugar test etc. Azra becoming my able accredited pharmacist dispensing
medicines!
Rule 6: Always attend convoy meetings.This keeps u abreast of the pulse
of the camp n updates u on what needs doing! And in my
books meetings includes tahhajud tho non-obligatory but crucial for our
sprirituality n cleansing our intents, sense of purpose
n complete hope in his ordains. Guard the jemaah prayers always cos that
binds our hearts to His rope - Habluminallah n Habluminannas. Enjoy n
embrace the scholarship of hafizs, prof of sciences of deen and the wise
mashaikhs.
