I'm a bad, bad man. Last Eid-ul Adha, while the imam was saying the doa after the khutbah, I was thinking about another doa that I just heard on a mawlid vcd.
You see, the Eid doa was in my kampung in Kelantan and the other doa, I supposed was in Yemen since Habib Umar was in the mawlid.
If I remember correctly, the Eid doa was like this, among others:
"... Ya Allah, destroy our enemies and failed their plans against us ..."
While Habib Umar's was:
"... Ya Allah, bring those who are astray back to the right path ..."
Of course, this is not a judgement on one person against the other. By any accounts, I'm nothing at all compared to the Eid Imam.
The thing is, given two choices, with whose company do we rather be. And whose guidance would have more lasting impact on our soul. I believe the answer is as clear as daylight.
Though it might be difficult to find such a person among us, I'm sure our good Lord grant to those who asked. Knocked, and the door shall be open.
And here's one advice by Habib Umar:
