Dear Mom,
To my beloved mother along with my Father who has now departed from this life—who cultivated
me when I was a child. To my much-loved mother who cherished me and sustained me when I was young, who protected me from the apparent evils of society with her knowledge, insight, foresight and wisdom, so that I would not succumb to the wiles of Satan. To you who, when I became sick, made sure that I received the best medical care you could afford. To you, my dearly loved mother, who provided me with a good education that would prepare me for adulthood. You who attempted to guide me with what you believed to be the best way according to your beliefs and religious convictions. I say here and now from the bottom of my heart and with Allaah(God) as my witness—that Ireally, truly appreciate everything that you have done for me.
And even though at times I have caused you sleepless nights, loss of money, or even physical pain, I ask Allah, the One True God worthy of worship, besides Whom there is no deity worthy of worship, to forgive me for that. Then I ask you to forgive me for any wrong, harm, inconvenience, hardship, anguish, frustration, anxiety, sadness, mental or physical pain or financial loss I may have caused you. I ask Him to guide you and reform you.
To be continued…
