last week...I nearly my mum if ALLAH had decided to take her soul what would I have done with four younger siblings to care for? Maybe Allah knew I wouldnt have been able to cope, for He is the best of planners SubhanAllah.
But I just wanted to share what happened, it may seem depressing to some but it filled me hope, lemme start at the end....lol
The morning after, when everything was alhamdulillah ok, my dad was sat with me and my younger sis and was talking to us over breakfast. A few of the things he said really struck me..he was saying....
'there'll be times in life when you'll face and you'll have your siblings at your side to care for you, but you may have times when you have nobody- not even me. Or maybe times when I'm there but the grief is so much for me that all I can do for you is cry. Its at times like those...you have to remember that Allah is the Only One who is always there. He'll be there even tho you may not be a perfect Muslim, Coz He knows you're aware of the fact that He's the Only One to turn to in times of difficulty'
The night day before that my mum was in hospital all day so I hadnt been praying properly coz I had to care for younger siblings, thats why those final words of my dad had struck me so...Coz often, those of us who may not always practise or pray as often as we should..think that there's no point prayin when we face difficulty either....
But ALLAH willed me to kneel down before Him that day coz ma mums condition worsensed.
I remember I performed wudhu three times in a row because I was crying so much dat i didnt realise, and during salah I couldnt concentrate coz of the tears, but as soon as I finished praying the news came that my mum was safe Alhamndulillah! And my dad said...'you see, your Du'aas flew up to Allah in the time it took to pray a nafl salah..Its coz He's always there..even tho others might not be'
SubhanAllah! this expereince gave me lotsa hope, Insha'Allah everybody can leanr a lesson from it Insha'Allah -----> ALLAH IS ALWAYS THERE...
