You Are Truly Amazing
By Naadira Chippa
You are Amazing. People you
love may have betrayed your trust
and hurt your feelings, yet you
never harbour hate in your heart
towards them. Instead you made
dua for them. You sincerely
forgive.
Y ou have experienced deep
sorrow and heartache as you
watched your loved one leave
this world, yet you still remain
strong and patient in your belief
that this test is temporary and
your reward is eternal. You are
Amazing.
You embraced your terminally-ill
loved ones and stood by their
side, giving them hope and
strength as they suffered in silent
tears. You always had a warm
smile and kind words to brighten
up their darkest day. You are
Amazing.
You struggle through life
working hard to keep your family
happy although you are never
appreciated. You remain content
in knowing you make others
happy and in that lies your
happiness. You are Amazing.
They may insult you, gossip or
ridicule you as you stumble along
your journey, yet you never miss
an opportunity to motivate and
encourage them towards
achieving their goals and making
their dreams a reality.
You are Amazing.
Nobody was there for you when
you needed a loving word or a
caring hand yet you are there for
everybody in their time of need.
You are Amazing.
You look into the mirror with
disappointment on your face as
you see dark circles, new
wrinkles, little sprouts of grey or a
double chin. You yearn for that
youthful glow again yet you make
your wudhu and smile as you
remember that Allah fashioned
you in the best form and you are
beautiful - grateful and graceful
just the way you are. You are
Amazing.
You watched as your belly
expanded, your feet swelled and
your body stretched in intense
pain to bring a little human into
this world and increase the
Ummah. You are Amazing.
The many nights you spent crying
over your difficulties, yet at
sunrise you woke up with
renewed strength and hope in
your heart. You are Amazing. A
broken heart, a wounded soul
and a tired mind never stopped
you from pushing forward and
starting over again. You are
Amazing.
Your strength gives strength to
the weak, your love and light
guides the lost, your smile
warms the cold, your words
soothe the soul and your duas
heal the broken heart,
illuminating the darkened mind.
You are Amazing.
In every battle and through
every difficulty, amid the
mightiest of storms and
temporary yet daunting tests,
you never lost your ability to
raise your hands and ask Allah
for ease, comfort, deliverance,
peace and happiness as this
world is just a short journey to
your destination of rewards.
Ameen.
‘Always
remember
you are
Amazing
just the way
you are!’
