For You, My Brother
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL . إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ Verily all praise is for Allah. We praise Him, seek His aid, ask His forgiveness, and seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and our evil actions. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomever Allah misguides, none can guide. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad ﷺ is His servant and His Messenger. It took me more than five months to gather the courage to write this, my dear brother. Some days are stitched into the soul, forever etched into memory, returning again and again as if time itself refuses...
