So, what will you bring with you?

This is how I see you.

(1)

Siblings from another mother and father.

This doesn't need explanation;

it's almost too obvious by now.

(2)

A gift, a present.

You know that feeling you get

when a special someone gives you something?

It makes you feel happy, loved and content; right?

Now think of yourselves that way -

as a gift from Allah Taala.

And yes, I feel happy, loved and content.

In return, I try to appreciate His gift -

by giving thanks, and treat them well.

I could not thank Him enough for giving me you,

and I try to treat you well.

(3)

A platform to increase my deeds.

Every moment I get to be with you

is a chance for me to do good.

It takes patience on my part, and truthfully, that's where I lacked;

but I try. I really do.

All of it was an investment for the hereafter.

Truly, I hope it is sufficient..

'melalui kalian, aku mengumpul bekalan untuk ke akhirat kelak.'

It is a fact that I know and understand well.

And I hope you do too.

If I am called to meet Him sooner than you,

I will bring with me my 'investments'

and you will carry in your hearts the memories we once had.

A reminder to you, to me, and to them

should our end arrives, perhaps, too soon and unexpected.

So, what will you bring with you?

Salam Aidiladha.
