*Disclaimer: i posted this already on IF- so you don't have to re-read it again if you read it there :thumbs_up *
Subhan Allah, this week (not even the whole week) has been a real eye opener. I thought I'd share it with you guys- maybe we can all learn a lesson from it. I know i did!
It started off with me waking up early morning, getting ready to go on the bus. Mind you, the bus comes at 7:00 so- I usually wake up at 6:30 (*pretty fast at organizing myself*). All of a sudden, even though i woke up, my mom decides we're not going by bus and instead, she'll drive us. I was irritated that i had actually woken up early....
so when we reached school, i was complaining and everything....
after a while, a friend came and i saw she was crying. I had no idea what was wrong, and nothing serious entered my mind...so i went up to her and found out she was crying because her grandfather (Allah yarhamoo) had passed away.
And there i was making such a big deal about waking up early. At least I did wake up- at least, i was alive!
But Subhan Allah, how different her day began from mine...early the night before, my aunt called and told us my cousin had a baby girl . That was the other eye opener. You don't know what's going on in your friend's life....you may be having a really happy day, and she's actually having a very "sad" day....
The next surprise came actually from the forum IF. First emel's uncle ( I believe emel is also a member here but under the name asmauk) was diagnosed with colon cancer. Please make dua for him. If you're on IF this is the link"

La hawla wa la quowata illah billah. During the school week, I often complain about all the tests and the stress- but what about those who are really struggling? Is getting a bad mark on a math quiz really the end of the day?
Soon after, another on IF named Lost Forever made a dua request for a friend (Allah yarhamoo), please check this out:

He died (Allah yarhamoo) before Ramadan started. What made me so sure that I was going to live to see Ramadan and Eid?
A few days later I actualy lived one of my nightmares. I am scared of cats. I once had a nightmare after falling asleep to the sound of a cat fight in which a cat like....I can't remember...but it terrified me.
As it was, on Wed. I went to the park (swings) in my compound. It was late- around 10:30 and we saw only two kids there (me and my twin). The kids decided to hang out with us....
Pretty soon this cat came and i started to get a bit panicky because it looked like it was following us. One of the kids got curious over the cat and she went over to it- i told her to stay away because you never know what a stray cat carries with it- she didn't listen. She went over, and then bored, left the cat...then the cat started following us. Not in a purrrrr way. I mean she was like "pouncing on us". She started running and i got scared so i started walking fast with the kids...and then she came charging at us, and the weirdest/scariest thing happened.
Her eyes flashed red.
I'm not kidding.
Even the kid noticed it.
