Dear Mama,
It's been long hasn't it? There is just so much I have to say to you and well. Actually, yes I know I still eat your head the same way that I used to. But I remember how you encouraged me writing. and well here I am. Pretty rusty if you ask me.
Here goes.. I am reviving this very old blog of mine to bring to your notice some very pertinent issues in today's world.. in easier words.. social norms that I JUST cannot put up with. And well, ask Allah to please send me some more strength to bear with the many kinds of idiosyncrasies in the world, particularly on our side of the planet!
Mama, people nowadays have forgotten how temporary this life is. I know I have my days too (guilty as charged) but some people have forgotten that Allah has only sent us here to test us. Everyday I come across at least one person who seems to give way too much importance to the most unnecessary worldly issues. And my heart breaks. Such fools we are to believe that issues of relationships or wealth or anything of the sort are worth worrying over. Such fools we are for not being grateful about even the smallest little blessing that Allah has bestowed on us.
So many people leave us due to untimely deaths and we sit here and question how the event could even occur. It makes no sense. Heck, I still sometimes think how you left so early. And then it hits me. It hits me how THIS world is the temporary one. How the pleasures of THIS world are the temporary ones. How the struggles in THIS world are nothing as compared to the rewards or even the punishment of the hereafter!
Yes, I am rambling on and on.. But I want you to know that you are lucky you don't have to witness the ignorance of our society. I know Allah is taking care of you along with all our loved ones.
Lastly:
Alhamdulillah for the oxygen I breathe
Alhamdulillah for the food I eat
Alhamdulillah for the roof over my head
Alhamdulillah for the clothes I wear
Alhamdulillah for the amazing people in my life
Alhamdulillah for the good etiquettes that you inculcated in me
Alhamdulillah for a good education so that I can handle life affairs easily
Alhamdulillah for the good upbringing that has given me the power to think for myself and differentiate between wrong and right
Alhamdulillah for the small happy moments in my daily life
Alhamdulillah for a healthy and functional mind, body and soul
Alhamdulillah for being your daughter
Alhamdulillah for all the things that I forget to thank Allah for!
Take care Mama and send me back lots of good vibes please! Please disregard the unplanned format of this first letter to you, I promise it shall get better with time! Till next time!
Trying to make you proud always.
Love, M
