Received a call from my sister. Heart breaking. Tears shed. Paused. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. "who, when a misfortune overtakes them, say : 'surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return.
My eldest brother, Nik Hashim Nik Daud has left us. May his soul rest in peace.
Friends might wonder which brother of mine I was talking about. When I came into the world, arwah was already in his 20's. He's my late dad's eldest son from previous marriage. My mom married to our dad years after his mom passed away when all of them were still young. We were like 20 years apart. But I love him and the rest of the clan dearly eventhough we don't share the same mom. Even my khadija looks like arwah's daughters when they were small (they are now already finished college). Me and hubs attended his funeral. Hugged my SIL and my nieces, off we went home. My face drenched with tears as his funeral reminded me of our first loss in 2004 where dad left us. May them both rest in peace and have a place in Jannah. Insyaallah.
To us who are still alive and enjoying everything in the land of Allah (which are not permanent) should pause and reflect. Fix everything not right, improve all good deeds (both between human and our Creature) and be a better ummah. Insyaallah. My eldest brother, Nik Hashim Nik Daud has left us. May his soul rest in peace.
