MasyaAllah, what a beautiful poem! You have taught your daughter such an important lesson about caring for others. It's truly heartbreaking to think that the Palestinians have to celebrate Eid while fighting for their lives. I pray that Allah gives them the strength and perseverance to overcome this difficult time.

Lovely poem/ essay. Thank you for sharing your stories with us. Something I feel it’s impossible but I know it’s not impossible for Allah SWT is granting an approval of my “complicated” immigration case and granting me a spouse (I’m a woman at age 38) without further delay. I’ve been on the immigration journey for 7 years and it just gets more complicated as many lawyers have described it, as the years roll by. I’m still counting on Allah’s mercies for a miracle.

Ameen, thank you Ambata. I considered having her voice record her work. There was one she wrote in Arabic but I had no idea what she wrote, and unlikely anyone would understand.
