Poignant sentiments- About Palestine

 

YA AHLAN WA SAHLAN (Hello and Welcome) 

BISMILLAH!!

Wanted to jot down something regarding the ongoing heart-wrenching events in Palestine. I wanted to pen down my thoughts and sayings on a paper as it has deeply affected me.   

Forgive me, Oh, Allah... 

Forgive me as I loll in my mother’s lap while she braids my hair tenderly. 

Forgive me as I proceed with my perpetual eating, relishing the moment around a table of 6... 

Each chair having an occupant holds a special significance in my blissful world, 

My father, my mainstay, my bedrock. He says, “My daughter is no less than my son” as I munch on my mom’s scrumptious cooking. 

My 2 brothers, silly, goofy but the most enchanting little spectacle of my family, continue to chat about their innumerable school friends and interminable homework.  

My sister, though it can be vexing when she takes my things, I still treasure our friendship as she's my most cherished friend. 

As I sit down to feast with these special people and advance towards my velvety bed, 

Could I have ever imagined the crushing bang of bombs and the torpedoes startling me from my deep sleep? 

Could I have ever imagined slumbering while I could hear the sobbing and yawling of people outside? 

Could I have ever bored seeing none of those 5 members around me, the ones who were once the delight of my heart? 

Could I have ever bore waking up under the rubble while just a few hours before my mother comforted and prayed for my sound sleep? 

Could I have ever withstood seeing the same table of 6 crushed to smithereens? Could I have ever shouldered the reality of having the last meal with the ones I love so much? 

Could I witness a world without my mother braiding my hair with the same softness? Would I not yearn to hear my dad laugh? Would I not die to hear my brother’s boring school stories? Would I not want my sister to come back and to steal all my belongings?  

I will want that. All of which I had a few hours back. All of which disintegrated in a matter of hours. All of which I took for granted.  

Forgive me, My Lord. Forgive me as I see a part of the Ummah going through what I can’t even imagine. Forgive me as I sit down with tears brimming in my eyes. Forgive me and assist them as they yelp day and night. 

Oh Human, how did you become so cold-hearted that you're fine with the notion of killing kids? How can you be so unfeeling that you're fine with subjecting children to such horrific violence? Experiencing explosions and debris strewn about upon awakening each morning! 

Oh, mankind! What's taken place in your midst? Why have you evolved into individuals devoid of compassion and love? What led to your becoming so threatening, sinister, and vindictive?  

Do the sounds of suffering from dead children not disturb your rest on your opulent silk bedding? 

Doesn't the distress and weeping of the departed affect you, even in the slightest?  

Aren't you visited by the mournful images of dead children in Palestine as you sit down to unwind?  

Can you hear the desperate pleas of children in search of their deceased parents?  

Can you see their faces as they implore for assistance right before harm comes their way?  

They have reached a timeless sphere of peace, love, and happiness. They are blessed, while you are slated for severe punishment. Your oppression hasn't prevailed, Israel. Palestine has triumphed! They have achieved paradise! They have achieved what everyone aspires to attain! 

Oh Allah, punish these tormentors, ruin these abusers, destroy those who have inflicted harm on the innocent. Perish them whose hearts couldn’t soften to the children crying! Oh people, how will you meet your Lord in light of the torment you have inflicted?  

HOW? 

Forgive me, My Lord and allow us to be grateful for this victory Palestinian's have attained. 

Forgive me, Oh, Allah. Forgive me as my hands tremble on these unceasing alerts. Forgive me as my heart softens and breaks each time, I see a part of this Ummah in extreme pain. Forgive me, Oh, Allah. Forgive me. 

Assalam-O-Alaekum.
