Surat al-Hujrat and al-Naba

Assalaamualaikum Warahmutallahi Wabarakatuh,

Everyday I think of Asma. I think of her when I wake up, throughout the day, and before I go to sleep.

Every little thing reminds me of her. The van she used to sit in, the bed she used to sleep on, the remote control for the TV, her clothes, shoes, the tray she used to eat on, her breathing tube (yes I still have it) basically everything and anything.

There are two Surahs really remind me of her. One of them is al-Hujrat (one that is playing on this blog) and the other one is al-Naba by Mishary Rashid Al-Efasi.

I used to play al-Naba in the car and put it on repeat so it would keep playing. We played it the whole time when we left Chicago to go to Georgia. Then from Georgia we went to Texas and from there we went back home to Chicago.

The whole time we played al-Naba and it was pretty much set in our minds. I even played it in the car when I used to take Asma to rehab after she had her leg amputated.

So whenever the Surah would play, she would recite it too in a melodious voice. She knew where to raise her voice and where to lower it. She recited it better than I did. lol

The reason why al-Hujrat reminds me of Asma is because during her last several weeks, this is all that played throughout the house. We have downloaded it onto our computer and we played it 24/7 on the computer. It was even playing when she passed away.

My father starts crying whenever this Surah starts playing because it automatically reminds him of her and death.

It makes my heart beat faster when I listen to it. As I feel empty inside, this Surah boosts my Imaan.

May Allah reunite my family and I with Asma. Ameen.

Assalaamualaikum Warahmutallahi Wabarakatuh.
