Book Description | I fell in love with him from the first moment. I know, it's strange for a mother to say this.. A mother loves all her children. But I needed some time to love my children! I was gradually getting used to them, then I would accept their shapes and feel that they belonged to me.. But Ahmed, I was in love since he was born. I contemplate him all day, as if he were my first child. He was a completely white little angel. His bright whiteness was amazing, like a piece of ice in a hot country. He was breastfeeding and sleeping quietly, and he did not cry like a baby. His presence next to me made me feel serenity and tranquility. I needed this, so that I could face what was coming.
This is a life I accept, and I give it purely for the sake of God. There are no tournaments or battles. I have never stood in the face of an enemy, nor carried a weapon, nor gone through perils! This is what I do: I leave a small trace. Great goals are not tied to impressive achievements. Your greatest goal may be to educate a child, dig a well, or create an invention that benefits humanity. You are on the path as long as you provide what you are able to do, and make a difference in your immediate surroundings. Your greatest goal is not to face dangers and live in constant anxiety, as if your soul is on your palm! |
