Dear Mum,

I tried my best to put an end to the pain that the cancer was causing you. I did try my best as  a son that atleast from me you get no complaints. From the time we found out about your cancer till the last breath you took while I held your hand, God knows that I didn’t let the hope die that you will be ok. You were in pain but you were atleast here. But then I figured out that If I love you so much why would I want to see you in pain because that would be unfair and selfish when we know your final destination is heaven and you will be lot happier there. So why would we keep on wanting you to suffer every single second of the day.

As your eldest son I will make it my mission that everything I do on earth now will give you rewards in heaven. I will take care of my little baby sister and promise to be there for her through thick and thin. I promise to always guide my little brothers through every path of life and I promise to never ever say anything that hurts dad in anyway.

I tried my best not to cry when we were lowering your body in your new home. The moment your soul left your body on 26.10.2009  I saw that you had a very peaceful smile. Those that wrapped you in kafan also said we have no words to describe how radiant you looked and your skin was as fresh as if you were hmmm ok. But mum.. you are ok na. I mean I know you are, because now that you are in paradise you will have no pain, no injections to wait for. Now you can enjoy the beautiful jannat-ul-firdaus that you deserve.

I got my jannat by being there with you through each step, and being lucky enough to give you the few water drops that were the last thing that went in through the lips that always asked God for our happiness and success.

Allah ji, I got a tiny request. Can you possibly not make me neighbor of my mum up there but let me live with her instead in the same palace she is living in? hmm

After a few years of struggle with cancer that my mother is going through. I have learnt one thing and that is weakness brings out strength in some people. Despite being weak in the exterior due to the medication i hav never seen someone have such strong belief in Allah. She goes through so much yet still says he will do well, he will do well.

At a point where docs give up she manages to prove them wrong by saying that its God that decides when i am
Leaving not you. I am proud of her…

When money becomes the first priority in our life we forget everything. I have seen people who spend day and night working for their kids future but at the end of the day after a few years down the line when the kid tells them to “shut up and get out of my life” then they realize that the time they spent earning money maybe they should have spent in earning their love and respect instead.

Money is important, I don’t say it isn’t. But it’s not everything. I have heard people say yes it isn’t everything but the same people tend to have the status symbol next to their face that is to show the world how rich they are . But in my view they are the poorest people, since if you don’t have the peaceful nights then no money can buy you those.
