Ramadhan coming to and end..

We're already approaching Syawal in just a matter of 10 days..and this last ten days..is supposed to be special, for one of these nights will be the Night of Power or Lailatul Qadr. Click on this link to learn what can you do during these last ten days. Personally, i hope i can do more than i have been doing, like pray more or read the Quran more. The recent demise of our Prime Minister's wife touched many hearts. May her soul rest in peace and is blessed by Allah S.W.T. Coincidentally, a former colleague also lost his wife on the same day and even though i only knew him very casually, the news of him losing his wife left me thinking of how death can sneek up on you at a time you don't even expect it.

For the past few nights i've been trying to think how he or anyone who has lost their spouse could ever gain that strength to live again. Especially when the death is so sudden and you're not given any signs that it was coming. When you're both still young and have all these plans that you made...when you feel that you haven't spent enough time yet with your loved one. How does one cope? I personally do not have the courage to think about this..but sometimes my mind does wonder...and then i just abrubtly stop it from continuing..

As a helpless servant of Allah, all i can do is just doa and ask Allah for the opportunity to grow old with my husband and children.

Al-Fatihah to both women who returned to their Creator on that fateful day.
