Assalaamu'alaikum WBT.
Dear Khaulah,
How are you today? This past few days made me reminisce things of the past.. I wonder how you will see things as the eldest child. Do you know, Khaulah, ever since I was little I always looked up to my elder siblings especially my eldest brother. I would listen and remember things that they said and taught me and most of the time took their views on things as my own.
When I was in middle school, I began to live at the hostel and my brother was already leaving by the end of the year. Back then, I loved to draw so much but I chose commerce nevertheless because I always heard from my brother about the kindness of the teacher. One day, the teacher showed a student her picture at Hawaii during the last holiday and the student boldly asked the teacher, "Isn't it sinful to not covering aurat even when overseas?" The teacher then said something about it's between her and God, and that was when I, who was still not a Muslim at that time, lost my respect to her.
Of course didn't act disrespectfully afterwards, what I'm pointing out is regarding insight. I think that was the first time I thought of something for my own and up until now, certainly made wrong judgements along the way. Now is easier though that I'm a Muslim, just follow what the Quran and Sunnah says :) So I wonder how would you see things before that. I hope that your mom and me had been and will always be someone that you can follow and best-friends that you can talk of anything with.
Love,
Dad.
