Fatima ..
She was deeply grieved
Life without her Father
passed so somber.
tears... day after another.
Her merry was vanished,
so was her laughter
Until that time
five months from the death of her Father
after a rare raptured morning
in one Ramadan evening
she asked for a special bath,
put on new clothes
and perfumed herself beautifully fragrance.
She then urged to put her bed in the courtyard
and had her face looking above to heavens
She asked for her husband
and only after he was in her side
came her heavenly words:
"I have an appointment today with the Messenger of God"
smile was in her face.
The courageous husband cried.
She told him to look after their beloved children
and advised for a simple burial
with no ceremony.
She had another upward gaze
closed her eyes
now truly surrendered her soul
to the Almighty Creator.
The Shining One...
she was just twenty nine years old
but years to come
she would keep herself
shining into our souls.
