Condolences to Kandaq

I am not the closest person to Kandaq, though we did share countless good moments together in our five years together back in school. We were classmates in all those five years, and for two years we worked together in the student council. For these reasons, pretty much I can say that I know him pretty well, and despite going separate ways after school we are still in close touch until now. So when I got the news of his father’s sudden demise a moment ago, my heart sank.

Here’s wishing for your father’s soul to be laid to rest in peace, and I pray that Allah bless his soul and place it amongst the righteous and pious. I also hope that you, Kandaq, remain strong as you always are and take this not as an excuse to give up in life but rather as another trying challenge from Him that you need to live with, for God only put to test those whom He loves. For the rest of us, this is another reminder that life is just a brief candle, that every second of it ought to be valued and lived to perfection.

Al-Fatihah..
