The rezqi of having them as my parents

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Assalamualaikum

Title: The rezqi of having them, as my parents.

" You have no idea how much we love you kakak. Study well my dear. That is all, that we ask of you. "

And my heart just melted. Ya Allah, for indeed, I am truly lucky, to  blessed with a wonderful mum, and an awesome dad, who would stick by me through thick and thin, and put up with my nonsense, day after day.

This is not an entry marking Mother's Day, Father's Day or any other special day. But this entry is something that this heart yearns to pour out, as it spills with love and respect for my dear parents who has gone through with so much of my nonsense, throughout the seventeen years of my life.

Looking at just how hard my dad has to work at the mosque; as an assistant mosque executive; at the logistics department, really breaks my heart to no end. And no, I am not ashamed to admit that my father works in the mosque. Why should I be? My daddy's working in Allah's house. It is the mosque, the masjid; the blessed place of all places in the world, to be working in.

My mummy on the other hand, although she can be as fierce as a tiger at times, she's always there whenever I need a friend, or someone to talk to. As I thought about all the sacrifices that she has done to ensure that everything in the household is in perfect order, I can't help but to marvel at the magnificence of this woman, that Allah has given me the blessings, of being able to call her, my mother.

As a family, we've been through quite a lot. But despite all that strom-rides and what not, my parents have never lose their faith in Allah s.w.t. If I were to list out the many incidents that made me in awe of my parent's faith in Allah, and their resilience as a wife, a husband, a mother and a father, I would probably never be able to stop writing.

But for now, all I can do is to pray for forgiveness, for the many moments that I have made them cry, and for all the countless times that I have made them disappointed in me during my jahil days, and strive my best to be the best young Muslimah that I can be.

Dear mum and dad, I will make our family proud one day. Make doa' for me so that the path of success will be of within my reach. I love you mum, I love you dad. Thank you for everthing! [=

Ya Allah, kau kasihanilah kedua-dua ibu bapaku, sebagai mana mereka telah mengasihaniku, sewaktu kecilku.
