Assalamualaikum everyone :)
Suddenly we are in July - already. Barely we have done many things this year or going places. Above all, alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal.
MCO has a lot to teach us and if we dont take a single lesson from this period - i dont know what else huhu
It was the period where everyone, literally everyone in this whole wide world have to stay at home - going nowhere no matter how rich you are, how important or famous - we are all the same. Suddenly, to save the world; you just have to do one thing - staying home.
It was a tough three months (March to early June) though - especially to those who are directly affected. I kept thinking about people like stall owners (do we call them hawkers?), those who receive payment on daily basis. Allahu
To Allah only we hope and rely on. (i've this one piece of du'a to calm ourselves, to really believe and put trust and hope only only to Him - i'll share later)
I watched documentaries on how airline industry will take longer time to recover - because people are still scared. Even if the air is open now, abroad flight still dont run as usual. I saw an interview and there's this woman said - she has been involved in aviation for four decades and had never experienced anything at this scale - planes are amassed on ground and forced them to find a huge area to put them all. Not only that, planes have to be maintained and always checked to ensure it does not get serious damage due to not flying. Yeah.
Aircraft company like Boeing and Airbus insider saying - they are always on high demand but they couldnt supply enough. They didnt stop producing more and more aircrafts until this pandemic - everything sits still.
I watched our local airline, Air Asia and Tony Fernandes saying - they have been through all seasons - thick and thin ; tsunami, economic crisis, sars but this pandemic is something else.
That's only about an industry.
Let's see our holy and sacred place, the focus of all Muslims, receiving millions of pilgrims during hajj season and out of blue (on Allah's will) - it turns out empty. It was a really rare sight - seeing Masjidil Haram vacant. Allahuakbar. I shared my sympathy with a colleague who should be going for hajj this year. She said Allah plans the best :)
PM was quoted saying - we cant close the economy forever; hence the start of opening one by one industry but with strict regulation.
Moving to the kids. Me being a primary school teacher, a private one with a limited space. Im trying to imagine how well the kids will adapt to this new norm. Kids being kids - they run, play, touch here and there, run again, insensitive to their own hygiene, eat together with friends, play and run some more haha
Teachers will become the new frontliners. It wont be easy with the kids, but somehow we'll manage. Pray for the best.
Wallahua'lam
