Islamic Stories - Upon Her Return

There was a young man in Damascus who planned to leave his country to
study. His mother was very caring and supportive of him. She raised
him alone through toil and hardship. And, at last, she felt that after
all the hard work--she was proud of her son as any mother would.
"Ah! The joys of motherhood!" she said to herself. The pleasure of
staring at this little man, who once held onto her dress begging to be
carried and to be tightly clenched by her arms. She recalled the days
when he was small and helpless, and yet there he was--embarking on a
journey to be the man he was raised to be.
The young man's flight was scheduled to leave early in the morning,
thus his mother prepared food and all that was needed for this long
trip. Her acts of kindness and loyalty displayed his mother endearing
love for him. His excitement as a young man, and her hopefulness as a
proud mother, is something wecan all relate to.
That morning, she heardover the news that therewas a storm headed
their way. Out of fear that her son might die on this journey, she
decided not to wake him. Instead she left early for the market hoping
to surprise him with his favorite food later that morning.
Upon her return, she called out his name in anticipation and
excitement--for she had a few more days with him before he would
continue on with this journey. But to no avail, there was no response
from him. Allah had taken his soul away and he died in his sleep that
morning. Story obtainedfrom Al Qaseem Newspaper.
Allah Ta'ala says: Say (to them): 'Verily, the death from which you
flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allah), the
All-Knower ofthe unseen and the seen,and He will tell you whatyou used
to do.' Al Quran[62:8]
