ar-Rifq/Compassion via at-Tadabbur/Introspection

Standard

This is how/why I look like somebody’s Mummified Baby-Abī/Daddy:

For sometime now my Left-Ear just kept feeling Red&Raw…I initially thought it was simply Insect-Bites, like a Mosquito catchin me slippin. But, then, my Ear began to swell-up. My Ear was looking like a Dajjāl/Anti-Christ Eye…Shit was Crazy. So, upon that, I was like: I gots to get This-Shit checked-out. All the while though I learned something significant about myself. This Ear-Swelling of mine actually made me feel “Ugly”…I literally felt “Deformed”. It had a Serious-Affect on my Psyche. And, moreover, it reminded me how People from All-Walks of Life…there’s Persons whom deal with
All-Kinds/Types of Deformities, which can’t just be resolved via an Emergency/Urgent-Care Visit. It compelled me to at least get some Type/Kind of Glimpse/Lens into what Other-People (with Conditions astronomically more severe than I can ever imagine) go through on a Daily via their Individual-Challenges/Struggles. This in Totality was a Valuable-`Ibrah/Lesson which Allah chose to impose upon me. Plus, as Muhammad (Peace be upon them) mentioned that any/all Suffering which any Muslim is challenged/tested by Allah with: it serves as a Mechanism to remove Untold-Amounts of Sins from one’s
Hisāb/Record…as Allah states: “It’s They whom created both Death&Life, challenging which of you do best.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.67, V.2; an-Nawawī)
