Inna lillah wa inna illayyhi raji’oon
This morning me and my mom were in the kitchen getting breakfast ready, the phone rang and I picked it up. It was Khala Daleela and she was like “let me talk to mama” so I gave her the phone and I heard her say “Inna lillah wa inna illayyhi raji’oon” like three times then ask “in masr”. subhanAllah as soon as she said that I just turned to her and said “Khala So’ad” and she nodded. It really hit me..
Khala So’ad is khala Majida’s (Ali’s mom aka Danias mom in law) sister. She had cancer and came here from Egypt for treatment the past couple years. Everyone here really got to know her and love her, she was so sweet and patient mashaAllah. She had decided she wanted to go back to Egypt and had been there since almost the start of the summer. Khala Majida had gone there and when her condition got better came back, then a few weeks ago they called her and said her condition was worsening so she took Dania and went back. subhanAllah..
“death” has been a reality only a handful of times for me, and this is one of them. When I heard about her passing away, it was just like “oh ok Inna lillah wa inna illayyhi raji’oon”. Nope, it made me think. I don’t know why it was so different this time (not the only time something has shaken me like this) but I just kept thinking about things. But one thing it affirmed for me is ; life is short, use it wisely, use it good, and remember that daar Al khulood isn’t here, its in the aakhira so work for it. Whatever is in this dunya is going to go, sometime or another, no point in getting so attached to it. and that no matter how much some things change.. other things don’t.. (ummq I think ur the only person that’s going to understand the last one)
