subhanAllah...
SubhanAllah.. Inna lillahi wa inna 'ilayhi raji'oon.. I don’t know where to start really.. yesterday UmmQaylah had promised me she would be back online in a few minutes but didn’t show up until hours later. When she finally did come back on the first thing she told me was that Asmaa had passed away.
Asmaa was a 12 year old girl that had been fighting cancer for the past two years. Even though I didn’t know her personally I still grew really fond of her and loved her for the sake of Allah. I had been following her condition from the very beginning through her brother who would post on different message boards, first sv then mc and ri. UmmQaylah knew her sister from another message board and had started a friendship with both her and Asmaa.
When she told me yesterday it came as a shock, I don’t know why.. And it really really shook me. It made me think and it made me realize the tests that people go through and how small mine are compared to them. My sister is about Asmaa's age, it softened my heart towards her. I ended up spending the rest of the night between talking to UmmQaylah and sitting with my sister.
Today I called UmmQaylah and she three wayed Asmaa's sister, who told us (she didn’t really know I was on the line till way into the conversation) about the janaaza and ghusl and everything. MashaAllah Tabaarak Allah, seeing how strong she was in the face of such a trial it was so beautiful. May Allah swt grant her patience and more strength aameen.
SubhanAllah even though its kinda saddening to know that Asmaa passed away, its also comforting knowing that inshaAllah she is in a place that we try to strive to attain, Jannah.
