Assalamu'alaikum wrb,
Dearest brothers and sisters,
With an emotionally hurt heart, I ask of you to read this short entry before you read what I have to say about it:
This article ripped my heart apart. What they have gone through is a journey of trust and tawakkul. What I have experienced in life so far is nothing, compared to what she had gone through. And yet she humbly lives her life in accordance to what Allah wants her to. Thank you, dear Umm Muhammad for inspiring me on how to live.
I pray to be a mother who bear sons who syahid their way through life like the sahabiyah: Al Khansa binti Amru. She was one of the greatest poets. And when she heard that her sons were syahid in battle, she said, "Alhamdulillah".
And Umm Muhammad as in the article, she said, “I chose Quran, the words of Allaah to accompany me. I read Quran every single day, each day increasing in the amount I read. I found a teacher to teach me tajweed. And subhanAllah by the time my husband was released, I had memorised the whole Quraan and had raised our three children in his absence”.
The best one yet:
“There is one time though, my husband does speak”
“Oh, when is that?”
“I recite all day, reviewing a juz or two a day. No matter where in the house, I am reciting- if I make a mistake, he speaks up and corrects it.”
No matter how the husband lost his mind in other sense, he has the Quran intact within him. After years of torture... I cannot fathom his pain, however I also cannot fathom how huge his tawakkul to Allah is... Allahu Akbar.
I pale in comparison to them.
May they be a motivation for me - for us - to strive in His path. Allahuma Ameen.
