Such greatness is rare these days, she Inspired me all my life...when i was a brat in my teens i used to be amazed by how loving, giving and forgiving she was...especially with people who hurt her...I was astonished by the kindness although i called it weakness back then...deep inside i looked up to her and i wished i was that kind.
She was tired, weak and fragile and managed to complete her 3omra with so much effort and exhaustion that i thought she'd stay in bed at least two days afterwards...to my surprise, she didn't rest but several hours and went on to do another 3omra for my late father Allah yer7amo...i wish i could explain what does that mean and how it made me feel...i just can't elaborate on that...all i can say is that she is one amazing woman...May Allah bless her.
I heard - from other people - how she actually SERVED other people in their manasek, she looked for lost children with their parents ( apparently that happens quiet often over there ), she would get water for the sick and elderly and even for people who are neither but asked for help...she would help exhausted women who couldn't complete al6awaf while god only knows she needed someone to help her out as she was sick and on medication...
The over whelming stories of how kind are the people of Almadinah and how it felt to see Al-Ka3ba for the first time...what she saw on mountain 2o7od...I saw through her tears and emotions the greatness and faith she felt.
She gave me some zamzam water and a big hug with lots of do3a2 just like the do3a2 she remembered EVERYONE we know- family, friends, neighbors even my office boy- with.
Mom, 7amdelah she returned safely.
May Allah accept her efforts and do3a2 and 3o2balna jamee3an :)
