Do you remember the scent of your grandfather's attar, on the way to the masjid?
When the Prophet ﷺ moved to his new minbar, the palm trunk he leaned on cried like a child.
He came down and held it until it was still.
If wood can long for him,
what about your heart?
At the end of every year, Singapura gathers for its hauliyah.
For Habib Noh. For Shaykh Umar Al Khatib. For every salih who carried Islam to these shores.
You may not know all their names.
But the masjid you pray in, the du'a your mother taught you, the love you feel when you hear his name ﷺ.
It reached you through them.
A haul is not about death.
It is a return.
So this year, sit in a majlis.
Say their names.
Let your heart soften.
