Time for another post, hopefully this one more meaninful than the one before. In my travels as a nurse I have come across many people. None that have inspired me more than this young man with the most extraordinary spirit.
He suffers from sickle cell disease and has been admitted with the worst crisis he has ever experienced just before Eid Al Adha, lost 26kgs since then and has just been told his kidey has failed and he's only 25 years old. Both his parents and his sister have passed away and the only remaining relatives are on another continent. After all of this his eemaan is so strong, when he talks about the prophet muhammad (pbuh) His face lights up and for a moment the pain seems to dissapear. What brought tears to my eyes as when he said that the only reason he feels he can continue through one dissapointment after another is knowing that Allah only tests those whom he loves.
