Being sick is of course, the least thing that people would ask for.
But when it comes, may all of us embrace it. And see it from the lenses of hikmah.
With His grace and will, lately I have been falling sick from time to time - not the usual flus and fever - and I cannot deny that my energy level is fluctuating. Being drained physically puts me a bit behind my plans that I have for my final year in Egypt. However, I know He is the Best of planners.
I like to think, and having my mind active nearly every moment is a thing that is habitual. Falling sick has made me realize, and thought about so many things.
I know the physical state of my heart is small, but at this moment I feel that my thankfulness to Him is too much, it exceeds the walls of my little heart. I see people's concern, I feel so much love that keeps increasing every day, and I can never repay all of this kindness. I know I can only pray for their well being and for them to have the best of this world and the hereafter, and I will definitely do that. May Allah grant them all the happiness in this world, and I pray so much that Allah forgives all their sins without having to endure pain insyaAllah.
We are reaching the end of time, yet we are in this journey. Even if we know that tomorrow's the last day for us, and we have a seed in our hand, we shall plant that seed. Khidmah, and prayers, go a long way. And we shall do that. We shall live every day thankful to Allah, for being there and forgiving our sins in every way possible, while we are here ignorant and forgetful, constantly repeating our mistakes. We shall live our days doing our best being good to people, not to please them, but only because we should.
It is such a wonderful blessing to not have any hatred in the heart. It is more of a blessing that it is not apathetic, and filled with so much love. May we all return to Him in the best state, with the Quran as our companion and nothing but good things left behind. May we all attain husnul khatimah insyaAllah =) For you and I; for our parents, teachers, syuyukh, friends, and the ummah.
Masykuur, ya Rabb =)
