Here I am O Lord!


In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Assalamualaikum

Title: Here I am O Lord!

Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik
Labbaika laa shariika laka labbaik.
Innal-hamda wanni'mata laka wal mulk
La shariika la

Here I am, O Allah, here I am!
There is none comparable to You and to You I have come.
Here I am, O Lord, here I am.
Verily all praise and grace are Yours.
In my Heart there is room for none, but only for You.
Here I am, O Allah, here I am! 

My soul sings, and my whole being cries. Labbaik Allahumma labbaik. But what are these words? What do they exactly mean? With a heart full of hope, I pray that one day I will be invited to perform Hajj too. It's Your pleasure that I seek. But yet, I am so sinful and weak. Am I a hypocrite? As I stand before You, with my heads bowed low during my solah, I feel remorseful and I am so full of fear. I ought to be ashamed of my life, shouldn't I? I yearn for your forgiveness, but it won't be long before I find myself landing in a sea full of sins all over again. I don't know when I'll die, and I don't know where it will be. But I hope I am in ihraam, when the Angels come to me.  When will it be my turn, to perform the Hajj? ]'=
