Dear Khaulah,
Salaam.
Its been a while. We are now just a few days away from the new year 2019. Before I move on to a more complicated topic, I want to say how much I love you for the sake of Allah, and how grateful we are to Him for lending you to us both as a blessing and a huge responsibility.
Sometimes I wonder if you understand whatever I've been saying in my previous letters. I guess it can't be helped, some of them can only be understood if you're threading the same path as us, and our kind and true predecessors which I prayed everyone of us will be steadfast upon.
After years being here, I can't help but to look around for those who've been with me from the start. It was no longer a surprise to find out that almost half of them are no longer with us. But then, that's when memory struck me on how we worked together tirelessly in order to attain our goals and deep down, I prayed that Allah gather us again.
I hope that all of us can keep on holding on no matter how hard the journey becomes, or how big the trials to overcome, because when even in togetherness we are this weak, how strong are we then when we are alone?
Love,
Ayah.
