Hang in there!

"When you're hurt I'm hurt as well" Picture of Hilal 

Hang in there!

 *A post dedicated to Hilal Asyraf
But for all of us to share along...

I’m sorry to hear that you’re ill,
I’m sorry because I just stood still,
I’m sorry because I didn’t do anything,
I just watched from far that you’re suffering.

This time distance really plays its part,
across the Indian Ocean we are apart,
you may not be in my sight,
but you are always in my heart.

What is most important is to stay strong,
cope with the hard times that seems so long,
the world may seem black for you,
but the other side of the sun is still shining for you,
difficulties arise in the lives of us all,
Stand firm and do not make that fall!

You’ve touched many of peoples heart,
you’ve made them from total ignorance to making a start,
in the times like this, it takes a strong person,
but I know, you are that strong person!

In my life, I’ve never called you “Akhi”
this is where this starts Akhi,
stay firm although in tight,
Hang in there! Don't lose sight!

Remember back these verses Akhi,

“Thee (alone) we worship”,
“Thee (alone) we ask for help” [1]

 

“Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction?”
“Lo! We tested those who were before them. Thus Allah knoweth those who are sincere, and knoweth those who feign,” [2]  

“Lo! We have placed all that is in the earth as an ornament thereof that we may try them: which of them is best in conduct” [3]

Please akhi, follow back how our prophet dealt with sickness,

Narrated by 'Abdullah:

I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high fever." He said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you." I said, "Is it because you will have a double reward?" He said, "Yes, it is so. No Muslim is afflicted with any harm, even if it were the prick of a thorn, but that Allah expiates his sins because of that, as a tree sheds its leaves." [4]

So... beginning today and
lasting a lifetime through --
Hang in there! And don't
be afraid to feel like the
morning sun is shining...
just for you, Akhi.
