Fatima Bint Muhammad

Faduma is leaving to Madinah on Tuesday the 12th. On this day I will probably be miserable. It's likely that for the next 4 years or so we will only see each other in the summers, and Allah knows best if after that we will be in the same place. This isn't the first time we go through separation. Last October she left to Madinah for a bit, but I was uber sick and don't even remember her leaving, just a crazy dream I had of me leaving her and her husband a voicemail. I really believe this dream was mercy on me from Allah. I told her that if we were friends for His sake, then it didn't matter where we were-we would be together in the Akhira. Then I told her husband to be nice to her and take care of her. Definitely comfort from Allah for me, because there's no way I could've thought up the words I said on my own. I was convinced it happened in real life but Alhamdulillah people were there to tell me I was on major hallucinogens and I was dreaming, hehe.

To call her a friend does a GREAT injustice. She is the true definition of a sister, and our relationship embodies what it is to love someone for the sake of Allah. I trust her with my very being, and would never hesitate to give her everything I own, before she even asked for it. May Allah have mercy on her and give her the best in this life and the next. May He bless her marriage and give her righteous offspring that make dua for her after her death. Ameen.
