Bismillah..
Song: Sami Yusuf - Wherever you are
"...when words of mouth and heart are the same
that's amanah."

This one is for my late uncle.
who passed away whilst I was in the first year of form 6 (pre-university)
as of lately...
somehow he's always there,
that fleeting memory of him, as clear as yesterday, as benevolent as a dream.
his rocking chair (where they found him)
of the unfinished kitchen tile (which his son finished during his mother's grief)
but mostly, the living, breathing evidence of him.
his family would have their daily Maghrib prayer together
have saum (puasa) to the best of their own ability
their kindness and polite ways
simple and humble as their father
a thoroughly ordinary man
but am continually amazed of how his qudwah shown through from this small of a roof
an aura flowing, always, as if he never left
This kind man..
"I missed you, Paci W.
I hope you're among the solihin."
