The Arrival

Sila ke klang valley beekeeper, another blog created for the beekeeping purpose.

12 Rabiul Awal

We are living on this earth, which was created as a bridge to the afterlife. We are here only for a brief period compared to the eternity. Our place in the hereafter is uncertain, all depends on our performance in this world.

There are seven levels of heavens. Where will we be? I would be very lucky to enter the lowest of the seven heavens. Even if the prophet is on the highest level. How high will the highest level be? Even the earth and the sky distance are beyond our reach. The gap between the lowest heaven and the highest heaven is beyond our ability to imagine.

Currently I am residing approximately 5 hours away from Medina, where the great prophet is buried. If I am given the opportunity to perform Umrah or hajj, then probably that moment will be the moment I be the closest to the great prophet.

I am writing this partly because it has been in my mind since past 12 Rabiul Awal and only recently I managed to register my turn to perform hajj. So until 2059 (my turn to perform hajj, almost half a century till the day come) or if I ever given the chance to perform Umrah, currently - 5 hours away is probably the closest distance I will ever be with the great prophet.

An-Nahl : The Bee

Approximately 18 months after I read surah An-Nahl and was guided by Allah to procure deeper knowledge on the bee, we finally had the opportunity to physically start our step in the bee keeping.

Hubby attended a course on bee keeping last weekend conducted by Carambola Bee Farm.

An interesting venture which we are seriously considering at the moment.
