Basir (Son)
My innocent, beautiful, Angelic Mother passed away on Jun 22, on the holiest night ( The 27th night of Ramadan-Al-Sharif), on the night that the doors of Heaven are open to the closest, purest and chosen ones by Allah SWT. My mother was very innocent, gentle with the kindest soul, and yet she was the strongest woman I have ever known in my entire life. For seven consecutive years, she battled against cancer, a disease feared by all humans. While every day millions of patients opt out of chemotherapy, my brave mother embraced chemo treatment, with its pain and sufferings, not for her own desire, but for the sake of her children, for whom she lived and dedicated her entire life. My Mother lived the last seven years of her life in pain and suffering, only to see hope, joy and peace in the eyes and in the faces of her children. At the end of seventh year, and while her body was completely exhausted, and her health begun declining, she put one last fight. She spent the last 45 days of her innocent life in the hospital, where doctors’ continuous care, treatments and experiments seemed to have very little or no effect on her tiny ill body at all. My Mother is no longer on earth but she is indeed in “Seventh Heaven”, where she continues her motherly love by looking over her children from above. My Mother is pain-free and she is in a much better place, a place that is only destined for the purest and most innocent souls, a place for Angels. My only wish and humble request from Allah SWT is to grant me the wisdom and understanding that this life is nothing more but just a test, and to give me the strength to be patient, so that one day I will be re-united with my Mother, where I will be able to keep looking into her beautiful innocent eyes forever. Mom, I love you from earth to heaven, and beyond. Until the day we meet again, please continue looking over your children from above, and please visit us in our dreams. Basir (Son)
