I have not written since 7/10. This was a decision I took with sadness but as a matter of respect. What has unfolded since that day is Gods plan in action. Sometimes I have even with my faith struggled to understand what happened that say. But what has happened since has changed my life forever…
This piece I have named as I am on holiday and truely found heaven complete with angels. How did this happen… I shall tell you. It was Gods plan.
I had spent two years effectively homeless. The UK removing my rights, laws and eventually my liberty. Why ? … simple really the country was sold as a private enterprise, performing public functions… Great news? Yes and No. The attacks due to the evidence Increased.
I had visas removed from Canada and could not even seek time with family. It was then that I made a life changing decision. I decided to take a holiday. in the place that my late mums partner had arrived from when I was a child. The impact his arrival in our lives had was difficult to describe. A life of fear and horror, became more special and bearable. It was like a memory locked away in my adult years.
The flights and hotel booked, I purchased hair scarfs and sleeved swimsuits for the heat and in recognition of the country being Islamic. I packed my suitcases and decided that after such horrors, total relaxation and exploring this part of my history may be just what I needed to move forwards.
My flight arrived early evening and as the plane touched down I walked into the airport and I felt the breathlessness and a sense of belonging in a place more than I had ever felt in my entire life. The men and women I call Angels, wearing Kanduras and Abbayas in white for men and black for women. If ever I felt safe in my whole life it was here. I fiddled with my hijab badly put together from my lack of experience, but an effort nonetheless.
The curves of the architecture and the Angels in pure white. It was all slightly overwhelming and I was left in awe. Learning of the history, the culture and the wisdom, is one of the most humbling experiences. As time has passed since my visits to heaven. What I have seen is a pride and real genuine commitment to community and family and a love that is impossible to comprehend.
It is so amazing to be able to post this first piece whilst on holiday to recover from the arduous and terrifying ordeal that has been living in England for the past few years. It is a privilege to see the end of a horrific and terrifying war in the country that is so much the unknown part of my life. Heaven truly is a place on earth. It is created and lead by the wisest and most amazing men. The women are steadfast leaders and supporters of the country and appear in every aspect of the running of the country. This is heaven and I am in love…
