Que Sera Sera

Que Sera Sera

High fever and flu with nose runny
Severe headache and painful tummy
Dry mouth with blisters throbbing
This was when you decided on sending
An accusing message to kill my physical being

To the world I kept on smiling
Clearly they didn’t know what I was facing
Within myself my mind is numbing
Despite the hot temperature I was feeling
My mind is determined to slowly go into freezing

Stab Bash Smash Whack Clobber Pierce and Slice
This is my heart and next to it- Saw another knife?
Here, take them both honey and do as you wish
Let it have one last bloody hemorrhage fiesta
My emotionless soul would pick it up, later
Then make an honorary deposit into the dumpster

Sandy put down her pen, feeling very bitter. Her heart was broken and she felt the whole world crumbled before her very eyes. Tears started to trickle down her fair white cheek as her hands slowly reached for her Kleenex.

Ya Allaah, this is too painful. Ya Allaah, help me, please, please, Ya Rabb, Ya Rabb. Mishan Allaah…

Her heart begged for help and strength from her Lord, The Most Loving, Al Wadood, as she started to sob uncontrollably. She cupped her face and let her painful emotion take control of herself.

Moments later, Sandy laid back against her chair and stared into the empty sky through her window.

Despite the sorrow she was going through, deep inside her, she knew one thing. She knew that her Lord says,

We do not impose on any self any more than it can stand. With Us there is a Book which speaks the truth. They will not be wronged. (Surat al-Mu’minun: 62)

I can go through this. I know I can. Allaah loves me. There are wisdoms behind this. I just don’t know them yet. I just don’t know them yet…

Sandy talked to herself. She knew the words of Allaah. She just had to remind herself about them. Allaah has said that He shall not test His servant more than she could bear. So, this must be bearable for her. It must be.

She remembered one of her favourite poet, Kahlil Gibran said,

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

Kahlil was right. Doubt is too painful to bear. She could not live another moment in doubt. She must be positive. She must be strong. And remain strong.

Sandy knew this was her only remedy- Her unwinding faith to her Lord, trusting Him, His Plan, His Judgement wholeheartedly.

One verse popped into her heart. Her Lord has said this,

Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector).” And in Allah let the believers put their trust. 
( , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #51)

Of course! This is the Plan which Allaah has put in for her. And Allaah is the Perfect Planner. She knew that she must trust Him with His Plan because He is her Protector and Helper. She also knew that His plans will never harm her or any other creatures.

And that’s when she remembered singing with her mum this one song, Que Sera, Sera,.. what will be, WILL be.

And in Allaah, she put her trust because she knew, what will be, will be…

Mashallah, this is a very uplifting entry for anyone enduring a trial from Allah, which is pretty much everyone on Earth! I loved the second ayah you quoted from At-Taubah; may Allah reward you for the reminder.

I have to admit a silly thought. When i read the name “Sandy”, i couldn’t help but think of the Sandy from Grease. I then automatically proceeded to sing “Hopelessly Devoted To You” - thankfully i am alone in the top floor of my house, out of earshot of any human or animal (inshallah)!

Bismillaah

As Salaamu ‘alaykum and peace to all,

Lol, yes, sis. I know what you mean about Sandy. Partly, thats the reason i chose the name! I had that song stuck in my head for a few days prior to writing this story and when i had to choose a name, i said, what the heck? Sandy it is…And that Que Sera Sera song was as deadly too smile) I have been humming it for days now. *blush*

I am glad you liked the story. Life is as such. Alhamdulillaah. Trials, tests and fitnah. Without it, life wont be much fun, would it? *wink*. No matter what, It is always, Allaahu Akbar. And everything else become small, very small…
Salaam

Hugs,

So was Sandy crying over Danny in this entry? haha. Danny didn’t deserve Sandy; what a dolt he was! [Btw, i know they are fictional characters! hehe]

Salaam,

Sandy, of course, is a strong woman, gentle but strong. She may cry, sob and sulk (for while!) hehe, but, Que Sera Sera.

The ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’ record has just broken, so, now, i belief she is singing ‘I Will Survive!’. Yup, Gloria Gaynor, her ‘neighbour’ just kicked her on the arse (sorry) and made her sing this song-

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

Hey, i should write a sequel - Que Sera Sera 2! Lol

Hugs,
Sis Zabrina
