Years ago, when you left me, I felt lost and didn't know where to turn. I searched for a way to escape my sadness but couldn't find one. That's when I started reading the Quran. I read the translated version and tried to understand its meaning. Since then, I have become addicted to the Quran. I carry it with me everywhere and read it whenever I can. Then, I stumbled upon a verse that mentioned your name, and an overwhelming sense of serenity washed over me, causing a smile to grace my face for the first time in what felt like an eternity.
Whenever I long for you, I repeat that verse from the Quran until I feel a sense of contentment. It's incredible how Allah has a way of comforting His followers, even in the smallest gestures like uttering a beloved name that holds a special place in my heart. Since that moment, I've come to realize that you never truly departed from my life. You remain with me, albeit in different ways. If you had not departed, I might have never experienced such a profound love for the Quran. The Quran has a remarkable capacity to nourish our hearts.
In my moments of confusion, I find guidance from Him. He grants me a small but immensely meaningful gift: the act of uttering your name. I am grateful to your parents for bestowing upon you such a beautiful name. Whenever I yearn for your presence, I turn to reciting surahs from the Quran, just as I am doing now. Through the pain of a broken heart, I have discovered the path to making the Quran my most cherished companion. The Quran reveals stories of prophets and their trials, from which we can glean valuable lessons.
