It was a year ago I held my head in prostration and asked Allah that He grant me a friend of a beautiful nature. I had asked that He grant me a friend that would help me in the road to seeking His pleasure. And my, He did and He did so in the best of manners. If I choose to speak of the qualities this friend has been endowed with it would defeat my Project:Paragraph theme so I shan't and that's testament enough, I suppose. I cried last night in a way I can't remember doing so for quite some time. The thought of parting from my friend (this coming Friday) sends tremors through my heart. I can't describe it any other way. And then, I thought. If an individual who I've known for only a few months has had this effect on me, I wonder what the companions around the Prophet were going through at his death. I mean my friend is only going away. You see, my friend is the way she is because Allah has endowed her with such great qualities. She has nurtured them through Islaam and used the path the Prophet had provided her , from Allah's permission. Imagine then , I said, how people would have reacted to the parting of the Prophet, peace be upon him. I did start to imagine but I couldn't imagine any longer because if the temporary parting of this friend sends tremors through my heart , the parting of the Prophet, must have cataclysmically broken their hearts, into a million and one pieces.
wassalamu alaykum

Asalamu Calaykum walal, I thought you were on hibernation for a while. So that's why i have not been visiting :( -- ONLY to find out that you have updated so much!! MashAllah. Also, this post has inspired me beyond belief. I know what you're going through, I'll explain more when I write soon inshAllah. I hate the feeling of leaving a loved one, or having a loved one leave me. Especially when it is the first time I have ever felt so close to a human being before. *SIGH*
I look forward to hearing all about it .
