Touched by an Angle

Assalam Alikom wa rahmat ALLAH
Peace and blessing be upon you

Hello Everybody

Have you ever been touched by an angle? Hmm. I think I did :)

Okay, away from problems - either personal or global - I want to take you with me to this special journey. What I’m going to tell you in this post had happened to me couple of day ago. Before starting, I kindly want you to read it carefully; try to disconnect from anything/everything you are think about now - whatever it is - in order to get all the values I found from this story.

Disconnected? Well, re-connect with me [ :P ]
Ready, Steady and GO. [ ;) ]

The story
Little Sweet AngleOnce upon a day, not far from today, I was returning back home from my work as I do every day. Well, my work is located outside my city, therefore, I used to travel every morning and went back home every night via public transportation.

As the distance is somehow long between my home + my work, so during this daily trip, I used to listen to the “good-bye” Sun whispers her younger sister Earth with, before leaving the space for their middle brother, the moon, in order to say his own “hello”

While I was sitting listening to these whispers, thinking about many things as usual, I saw something which makes me stop what I was doing on the short run, and made me think twice in many things on the long run, later after this situation end.

What happened?
I saw two couples, man + woman, who were trying to catch the bus. Something normal and happens every day everywhere, however the 1st abnormal thing that both of them were handicapped.

The two couples were trying to catch the bus I was in, but the driver didn’t stop for them. The man didn’t feel any kind of depression, and he started shouting to make people notice. We noticed what happened, and told the driver to stop for this family.

The couples got into the bus. They were moving very very very slowly. Meanwhile, after they site down near by me, I discovered that the man is deaf + dumb while his wife was blind.

Ya Rabbi, both? Yes! By the way, they are youth and not old, and I think they are at the late 20th or maximum the 1st quarter of 30th.

In fact, this was not the situation which made me stop + think. The two couples were not alone; they had their own baby, a girl who is not more than 2 years old. This little angle was the real reason to suspend everything I was thinking about and to start looking at her.

What about her? She was one of the prettiest babies I saw in my life. As we say in Arabic, she was “Amaar” which means very pretty like the Moon. Kindly note I do not use this expression to describe women with. Only with babies [:P].

This little angle was something great; not only as a white babe + blue eyes + light brown medium hair but also because of her smile which was marvellous.

I start looking at her, and smiling to her and then waving “bye-bye” for her. Ahm Ahm, hey I do this because she’s a baby not a lady. Shall I? [ ;) ]

Anyway, you can not imagine how happy this little angle was; I saw joy + happiness swimming within the ocean of her blue eyes and spreading its drops for only who notice. O’ People! How great to see a pure smile on the faces of little babies, because they do not want anything from you.

Subhaan ALLAH! The male + female + the babe were handicapped. Yes, I didn’t make typo mistakes as usual; as after few minutes from send/receive “bye-bye” between us, I discovered that the babe can not walk properly. However, her soul was something great, macha’ALLAH

Wallahi - I swear in Arabic - even if it is very clear that they are poor and for sure they have own problems, this family seems to be very happy.

Just look at them while they were leaving the bus to their destination; the man was holding his wife’s hands to guide her in order to descend the steps and keep on making voices as if he was telling her to take care. In the same time, the wife keeps on saying “I’m okay! Do not worry; you watch your steps”, while holding their baby on her shoulder while descending the steps of the bus.

Wallahi again, I’m not overwhelming if I said they were one of the happiest families I met since a long time ago.

Subbhan ALLAH.

O’ ALLAH! You’ve created man from nothing, while Man keeps on complaining from nothing real in the matter of fact

Poor Human! You keep looking for happiness here and there, and forgets that happiness is very very very close!

Poor Human! You keep on complaining from stupid things, while people who really suffers are thanking the Creator for what they have!

O’ Miserable creature! Who didn’t discover the light within the dark, yet!

O’ ALLAH! YOU (swt) are the Master of this Universe.
I wish I could thank HIM (swt) for the unlimited good things HE (swt) gave to me. However, I’m just human; therefore I’m tying to do my best to thank HIM (swt).

ALLAH (swt) know better, and know my intentions, so I wish that HE (swt) forgive me, and give me the strength and the power to thank HIM (swt) via Acts and Words.

O’ People! I wish if I could tell you how great ALLAH/GOD is

Salam,
Hicham

    Salam Everybody - Wallahi I do not know who was taking care of who in this pretty familly?

    The man, who dose not talk or hear?
    The woman, who dose not see?
    or the babe who can not offer anything except happiness?

    I think that ALLAH (swt) is taking care well + they take care well of each other!

    Subhaan ALLAH!

    MAY PEACE BE UPON YOUR SOUL, HEART, MIND, AND BODY…AMEN.

    Well, Wallahi, you made me feel bad, and good… bad about our state and good ‘cuz of the same thing, but it doesn’t matter how I felt, what truly counts is the way you were touched…
    Touched be this innocent angel!
    You know why (in my point of view) these people touched you in this soft way? Its ‘cuz of their:
    R-I-D-A-
    Their inner satisfaction with whatever happens. One should always be grateful to their Lord no matter what befalls them. They’re humans, they must have problems of their own, but this delicacy in taking care of each other is rare in this world I’m living in… For the past twenty years I’ve seen things, but not a lot of that… I hope to see more of these kinda things, cuz my eyes and ultimately soul, need that….
    Shukran for sharing this with us, it affected me… as soon as I finish typing this, I’ll tell my folks about it…

    PS. regarding ‘ammar, I used to always ask why is the ‘ammar pretty, I’ve always seen it as a cold rock reflecting light… Guess when was the time I stopped asking this question, and saw its beauty?!?!?!
    Guess?
    Have you guessed?
    3 weeks ago only…
    In madinah!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And I even held my camera and started taking shots of… Baba told me “yallah ya Sara, we don’t wanna be late for the prayer, it’s the same moon back in Abu Dhabi”, but I simply saw something that night that I didn’t see b4… What I’m trying to say here is; keep up this “insighted” sight of yours every second…
    It’s just gorgeous…
    I’m glad I shared this here… it meant a lot…

    With respect,

    Sara - Welcome back from Umrah. Incha’allah your sins have been erased

    Yes sister, it is all about the “RIDA” as you said. I know well that they have their own problem however they have been blessed with the inner peace, which make them accept hard situations.

    I believe that they are better than many people who might have everthing in Life “Family,Wrok,A lot fo Money, ..etc” but in fact they loose the most important thing: inner peace

    Man must be thankful for the Creator, ALLAH (swt) for the Unlimited gifts that we have. However, un fortunately he dose not look except for the dark side . Why?

    Everything has it’s good side + bad side. It’s all the angle you look from, or better say “your own perspective”

    The Moon thing
    Wallahi I do not know, it is the problem of the poets who invent this term. However I think it’s about the light of the moon within the darkness of the night, I mean the contrast in between. Maybe, Maybe not

    That was beautiful. It just shows how God works through others. I can only echo what Sara said. Thank you for this post.

    Aren’t you glad for moments in your life like this? I’m glad the occupants of the bus made sure the driver stopped. If they bus had not stopped you would have missed this magical moment. On a side note, the girl is an angel, not a geometric angle (small misspelling).

    Love your posts, keep them up.

    There is no joy in a life that is all information and fact. There is no ‘juice’ to that kind of life. No sweetness, no color. Like trading a beautiful golden-ripe florida orange for a stalk of withered broccoli.
