The Hajji returns - The battle continues...

Ok, so now I am back home from haj. Had many visitors all looking upto me like I underwent an overnight transformation to sainthood, requests for duas and everything.

As far as I am concerned the battle has only begun, the battle cries are louder than ever, the task is still very daunting and the age old enemy has launched a renewed attack. Yes, the old enemy shaitaan. He never stops, he keeps on going, he does not care if you are young, old, rich, poor, man, women, pretty, ugly, or even a hajji. As long as you live you are fair game.
