The place was humming with peace like a soothing mat has been spread over the scene.

It was white. Totally white everywhere. White and calm. The place itself demanded respect and looked divine. I roamed around the place in awe wondering where I might be and where are the others.

Turning around a corner my breath hitched in my throat. Standing before me was The Holy Ka'ba all in its magnificence and glory. I was speechless! So completely and utterly speechless! Nothing could have prepared me for the feelings I got looking at my Lord's house. No word could describe its beauty or my emotions then. SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah kept leaving my lips while all other senses of mine were numbed.

From the back of my mind I heard a faint whisper like someone was beckoning me towards it and my feet moved towards it on their own accord. Reaching the place I looked over myself and people around me properly. I was standing in front of the Holy Ka'ba and the scene around me made me speechless again.

I was in a long, plain abaya and a floral hijab and sitting before me was none other than my favourite sheikh and qari Sudais ready to read someone's nikah. Not someone's but mine!

I saw my dad standing beside me asking for my consent. I was too speechless to think of anything and hastily gave the consent. Hurriedly turning my head to look over at the man I was going in nikah with, my heart ached in realization that the scene was slipping away from my hands like fine sand particles and before I could see his face properly the scene vanished completely and I woke up with a start in my bedroom.

I was still in trance when I heard fajr adhan being called off, was still in trance when I stood up to make wudhu and stand in front of my Lord. It broke off when I went in sujood and then there was a flood of tears. I didn't know why I was crying but my tears didn't cease during whole namaz. After I was done I raised my hands in front of my Lord and said the only thing playing in my mind,

"Oh Allah I put my trust, my faith, my decision, my whole being in Your hands. Oh Lord please guide me and make this easy for me. Indeed You know everything."

For I knew I had heard the name of the man and I was equally confused and scared.
