My 1st blog entry on RAW Blogs
March 07, 2006
Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulillah, this will be my first blog entry - although I don't have the heart to write what I experienced today.. My mum and I usually have these planned evenings when, if head towards Dubai for one thing, we try to get over and done with alot of pending 'dubai' visits - so today, after evening Religious dars at Imambargah, we decided to go for Iyaadat (visiting sick people) - of two family friends..
One of them, alhamdulilah had been discharged from the hospital - the sign of recovery was enough relief and we went and visited her at her home. The other lady we went to see was in a very critical state - completely paralysed, swollen up because of internal injuries and struggling to breathe on a Ventilator.. the saddest bit was, she was a fine healthy lady; but deteriorated after her 14yr old son passed away 2 yrs back in a tragic car accident - where he was run over by a Drunk local guy at zabeel road :(his mother, grief stricken, has been surviving each day in his remembrance, praying to die because she can't live without her son..It was indeed a very sad sight.. seeing her brought back memories of her son and the tragic incident which the whole world forgot so easily; but if only u asked the heart of a mother.. sigh
While mum and i stood by her bed, all we could do was pray; and took out sadaqah and gave it away for the sake of her well-being.. At that moment, I wondered; if only i didnt sin so much, my du'as for her well being and patience would be accepted instantly! Alas, remembrance of my sins at this point would not help - as i should carry that alertness around with me everywhere and at everytime..
But Allah (SWT) is so Raheem and Kareem to have given us the taufeeq to go do iyaadat in the first place; giving us a chance to gain this thawaab by going and visiting these sick people, and praying for them; further being able to realise that we still have our lives intact.. we still have so much to thank for - yet we humans are always discontent and unsatisfied with what we have..
Life is a blessing - and I hope that I can do justice with my life, by finding every opportunity to erase off my sins and add to the blessings i can gain from my waajibat and by performing all these mustahabaat..thanks to Mum who subconsciously trains me to do all these things; and thanks to Allah (SWT) for opening the doors of realisation in me, to have atleast this much understanding of which direction im headed towards..
Inshallah, praying for the Well being and Health of all Mo'mineen brothers & sisters; especially those who are in hospitals, and those who dont have anyone to pray for them.
and may Allah (SWT) also grant all of us - sick souls -with roohaani shifaa (spiritual cure) Inshallah!Wassalam
