Change

Listening to: Akeed abaz3al - Thekra


Things change all the time, It's our life cycle.

I have always welcomed that change with open heart. Knowing that whatever comes is for the best. But later on, I would suddenly be reminded that I miss old days. I miss those simple chats, open conversations & being completely carefree in life.

Two days ago, my mom's "business number" rang @ 1 a.m, we thought oh what a "mitfare'3" customer calling at this time. Mom listened to the other line very carefully without saying a word. Thought to myself " well that's weird no negotiation!"

She hang up the phone & said: I'm asked to Cater a funeral for a 20 years old guy who passed away on an accident today.

Things change in a split of a second. Ironically, I witnessed that accident on my way to work in the morning, I was trapped on one street for half an hour, cursing my bad luck & being always late.

On the funeral, my mom's employees told her that his father was crying like a baby. Unconscious repeating: He was here yesterday! my only son laughing with his sisters yesterday!

I may not know the guy, nor his name or even his family, but can't help not to feel completely shattered of how things change like that!

So not all changes are welcomed after all.


Side note: You changed! & I don't know why.

everything happens for a reason.

Allah takes one thing, and gives us all the other things. I once read a very nice quote that said if we ever had the ability to change what was written for us, we'd choose the same circumstances because in the end, it's for our own good.
