You Left So Soon

       
     I was impressed by his spirit as an army. He said: “Like father, like son”. As the eldest son from 7 siblings, he's very concerned about his brother and sister " Biarlah adik-adik sy kahwin dlu, klau sy tak kahwin pn tak ape".

     He was a funny and cheerful person, never hurt my heart even once. He gave me the guidance on how to make a decision until I decided to declare minoring in Comparative Religion. Such a beautiful story while studying in IIUM. When he saw me, he became shy. Let the stories become meaningful memories between me and him.

     On Friday, 29 Safar 1433H (11/1/2013) at 4.30 a.m, he left this world. I was surprised and very shocked at that time. It’s very hard to believe. I lost him forever..Not only me, but also the other friends, his family and relatives felt very sad...very sad..very sad. In sadness, I need to redha on whatever Allah has destined for me.

       : خَمْسٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ 

﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى الاٌّرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَداً وَمَا تَدْرِى نَفْسٌ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَيمٌ خَبِيرٌ ﴾ 

There are five things which no one knows except Allah: (Verily, Allah, with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.

(Reference: Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah Luqmaan : 34)

      Al-fatihah and Yaasin to Allahyarham Mohamad Afham Bin Jumat. My du'a "Hopefully, the last article written by him about "Antara Rasuah dan Nazar ” will be rewarded as amal jariah for him. May Allah placed you in heaven with mukminin and solihin.See you in Jannah…"

Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me

I still can hear your voice calling out my name

And I remember all the stories you told me

I miss the time you were around 

But I’m so grateful for every moment I spent with you

‘Cause I know life won’t last forever

You went so soon, so soon

You left so soon, so soon

I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long

I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong

I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard

I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone

Gone so soon

Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy
But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever

There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking: “Why?”
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return..
