Ibrah Home Visit 😊 9th Ramadhan

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and the Most Merciful. 
Surely we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return. 

I remembered well a few days before entering Ramadhan, one of my cheerful kid, named Alif who has congenital cyanotic heart disease was admitted for his dental problem. After post-procedure even though only under local analgesia, Alif almost collapsed, his heart rate came down to 40. 

But Allah knows well, Alif survived, and went back home well.

Alhamdulillah, we decided to do a home visit on the subsequent week, as we do set an intention earlier if Alif survive, we want to visit him.

With a short plan, and ad hoc plan I would say, Alhamdulillah we manage to proceed. 

Ibrah is the Arabic word, meaning lessons. A lot of ibrah I gained throughout this home visit.

I bought things for Alif and his family, with a budget of RM 100. SubhanAllah, with the intention of sadaqah and giving goods for others, things that I could buy are actually more than the numbers. And to give the goods, indeed not the cheap one, slightly expensive, but surprisingly it is enough with that RM 100 note. MashaAllah! 

I believe that it is from Allah to Alif's family. Blessings of giving, that I felt.

I don't think that I could buy much more with the RM 100 if I buy for myself 😂  but for this family, it is what we called 'berkah'.

On the day we are planning to go out for the home visit, we just realised that they actually live in the area of Seberang Perak, which still in Teluk Intan, but during wazing. "Why like so far one?" it was about 1 and half hours to go. Walawey! 

The weather on that day also quite super hot to be honest, plus it was in Ramadhan, the month of fasting.

The thing that I learnt on that day after discussing with Dr. Shamini, my paediatrician, my sister in a palliative team, a teacher to me. "Life and death all in His hand, we don't know right? thus good deeds cannot be delayed, scared we do not have that time."

So, we just follow our heart call, we determine and to just go for the home visit. 

Alhamdulillah not so far, and the weather was not so hot as what we feel earlier on. The clouds were like sweetie cotton candies, in the blue sky. We follow exactly what the waze command us for, however, we lost in the middle of the way. 

Do you know where we were 'sesat'?

.

We lost at the middle huge paddy field. Super beautiful, subhanAllah. Exactly like in textbook geography I think 😂. Soooo greeeeeen the field, the sky soooo blueee. So niceeee. I believed these are the present for me and also for Dr. Shamini. We felt so happy about these, even though it was only 'sesat'

Indeed, God arranges our life beautifully. And I believe that He is the most loving and the best planner.

Once we arrived at Alif's house, they were so inviting us, they were so happy to meet us. I felt so relieved looking at those smiles. So much blessing in this family. The mother, take care of the mother and her aunty too. She also takes care well of her son, Alif. And she still smiling. She told us in front of Alif, she said if Alif still alive, we will meet again during Alif's appointment in the paediatrics clinic in June.

I felt so touched by her act, she indeed a strong mother and redha for everything in her life. She saying that as if that Alif just going on a holiday and could come back home after a couple of days or weeks. 

But this is life and death, not like going on holiday, and they are ready to face them. subhanAllah

Even, when we were about leaving the house, we notice that the sick cat also came to their house. To find a person, a human that could help him, could treat and give him food. subhanAllah so much blessing here. 

I felt so happy that I could join this home visit, and I hope that this is not the final but only the beginning of everything.

There will be challenges in this life, and specifically to mention here to make dream comes true in our effort in helping palliative kids, the challenges are there. Just go for it. God will help us within. 

For me, all palliative kids are sinless, so innocent and their final destiny will be in Jannah, subhanAllah. And their purpose here in this world is actually for us to gain reward from Him by doing the good deeds to them.

Do you realise it?

Together we purify our hearts, daily; and I really hope and pray that Allah SWT will accept these as our deeds in meeting Him. Amin.

Thats all from me, see u again!

Take care
