In Remembrance



4 years ago on 26 Syawal, just after 'Asr, grams returned to His Lord and was finally at peace (and so in love). He looked so handsomely smiley after the ritual bath as I kissed his forehead before his journey to his resting place at Pusara Abadi. And this week, his resting place (among the other 80,000 graves) was in the news. The graves will be exhumed to make way for Tengah Air Base expansion, laa hawla wala quwwata illa bilLahil aliyil azeem.

"Allahummaghfirlahu, warhamhu, wa 'afihi, wa'fu 'anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi' mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-baradi, wa naqqihi minal-khataya, kama naqqaytath-thawbal-abyada minad-danasi, wa abdilhu daran khairan min darihi, wa ahlan khairan min ahlihi, wa zawjan khairan min zawjihi, wa adkhilhul-Jannata, wa a'idh-hu min 'adhabil- qabri, wa min 'adhabin-nar" 

(O Allah! Forgive him, bestow mercy upon him, pardon him, accord him a noble provision and make his grave spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, purify him from sins as You have purified the white garment from soiling, give him a better abode in place of his present one, and a better family in exchange of his present one, and a better spouse in place of his present wife; admit him to Jannah and protect him from the trial in the grave and punishment in the Hell), aamiin yaa Allah!

Missing you, grams...
