May his suffering be eased as soon as possible only with good health and continued physical independence. And may the Almighty only make him return to his rightful place in Jannah when He is pleased with him having completed all his duties here on earth. To Him is our return. <BR/><BR/>Ma'salaamaShafinaaz Hassimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639184569752140877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31858079.post-1166628671207142382006-12-20T07:31:00.000-08:002006-12-20T07:31:00.000-08:00Mouse, i have not encountered true grief in my lif...Mouse, i have not encountered true grief in my life just yet as Allah, by His Grace and Mercy, has not taken the soul of anyone i have been close to thus far. Even my grandmother who passed away this year, as i did not see her very often. May Allah have mercy on her.<BR/><BR/>Thus i cannot advise you on what is "normal" - and i think everyone grieves in different ways.<BR/><BR/>Trust in Allah is all i can say because no-one else can help you. Not even us, your sisters and brothers, though we try to comfort you, we can do nothing to soothe your heart. This is for Allah, in whom's Hands our souls and hearts are, and He alone can grant ease and comfort at times of distress.<BR/><BR/>Show a tiny amount of sabr for the sake of Allah and copious amounts of sabr will be poured onto you from above. Patience breeds patience.<BR/><BR/>Make sure you eat well and stay healthy. Your family needs you just as much as you need them, OK?<BR/><BR/>None of us are guaranteed Jannah, and none of us can earn it, but we can pray and pray and cry to our Lord for it till our last breath. Your wish to see your grandfather again will be one more reason to hold tightly onto the rope of Allah so that your final words may be <I>la illaha illallah</I>. In this way, this trial may be a favour to you from Allah to ensure you die upon <I>tawheed</I>. How merciful is our Rabb that even sadness can be a means of ever-lasting happiness for us!<BR/><BR/>Hugs and SalaamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31858079.post-1166623959893973522006-12-20T06:12:00.000-08:002006-12-20T06:12:00.000-08:00Have faith in Allah, and the doctors as well, Ever...Have faith in Allah, and the doctors as well, Everything will be alright little one =DTaysiirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386743712899727368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31858079.post-1166623810266559702006-12-20T06:10:00.000-08:002006-12-20T06:10:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Taysiirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386743712899727368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31858079.post-1166581631604885822006-12-19T18:27:00.000-08:002006-12-19T18:27:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31858079.post-1166580805139807532006-12-19T18:13:00.000-08:002006-12-19T18:13:00.000-08:00Hey Mousey,I'm so sorry!

My dadi was living with us when she passed away; it was a difficult few weeks for me and my family. But in our hearts, we all felt that Allah was honouring her as she was an extremely pious woman during her lifetime. She passed away on the last day of Ramadhan a few years ago, after an entire month of <I>tahajjud</I> and fasting. It was hard for us to accept at the time, but in time we realized that she was in better hands.<BR/><BR/>May Allah grant shifa to your grandfather and patience to your entire family. Our hearts and prayers are with all of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
