“Your child is suffering from a brain tumour”, these words have sufficient potential to shatter any mother’s life. The moment those words were heard, time froze and everything else in my life seemed blurred. Somehow I gathered the strength when the doctors showed hope in term of treatment. She was treated and was cancer free but Allah had different plans in store for us. The results of the second scan showed the recurrence of tumour. Doctors informed, “You should accept the fact that no doctor in the world can offer any treatment for your child’s illness.” The news was devastating and unanticipated. In a glimpse of an eye, my life changed drastically.
Initially, the pain was unbearable. Every morning, I prayed Allah to make it a dream that will be over with the moment I open my eyes. I had no strength to cope with the fact that the terminal disease is drawing my child closer to death every day. I died every moment.
Human beings are practically conditioned to plan about the future and when the plans do not turn out as expected, dissatisfaction takes hold of the life at present. Difficult phases and hardship is a part of natural law. Human nature perceives hardship as evil. However, Allah’s wisdom behind difficulty is sometimes bringing us closer to Him, purification of our soul or the test of our patience.
