Deepest Condolence to your friend from my family and I for the passing away of her loved one. I too have ailing father and mother. Both are bed-ridden now. It is always a pity to see them both unable to walk. To Allah I pray that they will not suffer too much and they will endure the great tests calmly and with full of patience.

Assalamualikum Datuk Dr.Azahar,

Thanks for the earlier comment on the Halal issue... I wrote a long reply but similar fate was met.

Anyway, she is my mom's cousin and so was he.  She is my pic,confidante and the best of everything... a friend, a sister... you name it that's what we are.

Insyaallah, I shall convey your condolences to her when I see her tomorrow.  Today, she is not at work, resting and reconciling with the sudden loss.

I am so sympathetic towards the conditions of both your ailing parents.  But to some consolation, this is the time (perhaps) Allah takes away their sins, time of repentance, time to see which of their children come forward willingly to visit, feed them, clean them and most of all... YOU are still lucky to have them around.  You are still able to seek forgiveness from them, to seek rewards from Allah for taking care of them and to pray hard for them so that they may leave in "husnulkhatimah". Amin.

Sometimes, we do not realize the way Allah Bless us.  He has his ways, mysterious to us, but that is the best for us.  We go through pains, sufferings, hurts, frustrations and all, the next we should find eternal peace, more patient,  sins forgiven, feelings enlightened, Blessing In Disguise, new life awaiting, new opportunities popping up, we learn to endure them and in the end we know WHY! It is not an easy task to enter Jannah.  We have to go through His Tests and Tribulations on this earth, while we are still breathing.  Why all these test??? They are to make us getting closer to Him, practicing His Commands: Obey Him by doing what He like and Obeying Him into leaving all that He dislike.  BERBUAT EHSAN to all human kinds and His subjects is the ultimatum.  Wallahu'alam.

I pray that Allah shall lighten the burden of both your parents and all of your siblings in handling them... Amin.

Wassalam.

Allah yarham 'ayah cik Lah'was someone I knew well, a very fine gentleman. He was younger than me in school, making me 'abang' to him. I usually addressed him as a simple 'Wan'. I regret, being in Trengganu I have not seen him for many years. An sms I received early yesterday morning of his demise shocked me. How I wish I had taken the trouble to contact him earlier. Such is life. There is always something we regret when it is all too late. Alfathihah to Arwah from Pakcik Hassan and family.

Assalamualaikum Pakcik Hassan...and family,

On behalf of the deceased family I thank you for the message and I shall convey to them soonest possible.  I see from what you wrote that you two were buddies. I should understand how you must have felt the moment you read the sms.

 

Indeed I am sharing how you feel with regret over "not doing what should have been done"... I have encountered a few occasions myself when things were "too late".  I had  procrastinated over phone calls which were supposed to be made to this dear friend of mine... one of which was to the late Allahyarhamah Zawiyah Mazlan from Kemaman whom we called Kak Zawi (binti Omar)... three weeks down the lane, her husband called and informed me of her passing.  Ever since, my children are always reminding me ... "notto delay, nor do you hesitate when you want to call a person,  pick it up and dial".  By the way, I used to see your "name" from "AG's blog" but then I just wonder who you were.  You must be a teacher, are you?

Wassalam. rtl.

My sincerest sympathy for your loss! Praying god will send you consolation and peace! Cathy

Cathy, yes.  Thanks to Allah, He is sending some consolation and peace to me and the bereaved family... and thanks to you too for this sincere message.  I shall pass on to my relatives.  Am sure they would feel happy to receive.

 Indeed I feel extremely funny to reply these comment in a post.  But this was an idea from a friend whom I spoke to late this evening.  It became extremely intolerable to find replies went missing right in front of you as you click "publish comments"...  And that is not all Cathy, I find difficulties too in 'sign in"... 

Anyway, wish you and your family well.  Thanks for dropping by.  Cheers.
