IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST BENEFICIENT THE MOST MERCIFUL

Life can be melodious when we find harmony and balance in our experiences, relationships, and pursuits. Also, sometimes life can be filled with challenges, hardships, and difficult moments that can make it feel miserable. However, it's important to remember that these tough times are often temporary, and there are ways to find support, resilience, and hope to navigate through them

Na'im turned to his right-hand side while lying down on his bed. He couldn't sleep throughout the night thinking about what happened yesterday.

He checked the time on his phone, it was almost time for subhi prayer. He rose to his feet and headed to the bathroom to perform ablution.

He performed two raka'a, He prayed that Almighty Allah to ease his affairs, and heal his mother's sorrows.

After he finished his prayers, he folded his praying mat and then left for the mosque.

As dawn breaks, Na'im readies himself for another day of legal battles. He selects a tailored charcoal suit, its lines sharp and precise, and adorns a crisp white shirt beneath. He knots his silk tie, a subtle navy stripe lending sophistication. Slipping into his coat, a sleek overcoat in timeless black, he adjusts the collar with precision. The fit is crucial, as a well-fitted coat enhances the overall look, exuding confidence and professionalism.

"Assalamu Alaikum," Na'im said while entering his mother's room.

She answered in a low tone, she was sitting on a couch reciting the Qur'an.

When she saw it was her son, she quickly recited the remaining verses of the sura and kept the Qur'an on the bookshelf.

"Hajiya Mamana," He called. He calls her that whenever she's down or sad.

"Yes Na'im," she answered with a smile.

I have a very good bond with my parents. As the only child, they have done their best to provide whatever I asked for and stood firm for a good upbringing, education, and nurturing. All I can say is Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless all the parents with the highest rank of Jannah.

I sat close to her and held her two hands. "Hajiya good morning," He greeted.

"Good morning Na'im, I hope you slept well,"

I wanted to say No and tell her that I couldn't sleep the whole night but I changed my mind because she might feel bad which I don't want her to.

"Yes Alhamdulillah, how was yours?" I asked knowing well she hadn't slept too.

"Alhamdulillah," she answered. "You got ready early today, I know lots of work awaits you, right?"

"Exactly hajiya, I've to leave early, I will try to come back early today, I want to spend some time with my mother," He said.
