Today Malaysia mourns the death of it's First Lady, Datin Endon wife of our Prime Minister,Dato Sri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. After almost 3 years of fighting the disease of breast cancer finally this morning ( 7.55 am ) she succumbs to the deadly disease .She passed away peacefully at the PM's residence,Sri Perdana in Putrajaya. By her bedside were her beloved husband, two children, son-in law , daughter-in law and her mother Datin Mariam Abdullah.Eighteen days ago she returned from the United States where she was treated of the disease .She was laid to rest at the Muslim cemetry at Presinct 20 ,Putrajaya attended by local and foregn dignitaries. Among those who came to pay their last respect were Crown Prince of Brunei Darussalam ,President Arroyo Macapagal of the Phillipines, Premier Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore and the Deputy PM of Thailand .
What is the morale behind this tragedy ? How wealthy you are , how powerful you are ,how good is your doctor that attends to you ,how well known you are ,how well you are loved ,no one could go against God's fate . When the time for us to die has come ,we'll have to go .All living things has to suffer death .No one is exempted . Therefore we must always be ready with enough good deeds , not to go against God's wishes -committing sins and fullfill our obligations to God such as performing the daily prayers etc. Prophet Muhammad (pbh.) once said via the Hadith ' You must do good deeds as if you are going to die tomorrow '.So we cannot say we are still young and there is enough time to do later .No one knows when we are going to die except God .
Cancer is a killer disease .Breast cancer often attacks women and chances of a cure is very slim. Medical practitioners has yet to find the diognose of the deadly disease. God mentioned in the Holy Quran that there is a cure to all diseases .Only that human beings has yet to discover it .Now, I would like to challenge all Medical practioners and would be practitioners to put all efforts available to find the solution to the problem, human beings has been facing since Prophet Adam (pbh.)
It must be very painful for us to loose some one who is very dear to us .I cannot bear to loose my loved ones especially my wife who has been my closest companion for the last 35 years .Especially now that I am retired ,where my activities has almost been restricted to my home. I do not have any other companion or friends to talk and joke to except my wife . One may say ,' Oh ,you can always remarry '. Not as simple as that .By remarrying, that doesn't guarantee happiness .Further, we have to take care the feelings of our children .I'd rather remain single ,than to have another burden on my shoulder.
Oh God, please do not take away my loved ones .
