He's gone...

That was all I could muster and send to some of the numbers on my mobile. Forgive me if I didn't send you a message personally and also for not replying the hundreds of messages, emails, blog comments and missed calls.

Thank you for all the support, encouraging words and condolences, though some have sent me text messages without leaving a name. Thank you friends, for doing the necessary.

Let me now give the details of what happened on 29th October, 2007.

On Sunday night I did not accompany my late husband at the hospital because a visitor from afar had come late in the night and had to head for London very early the next morning.

After sending the children to school on Monday, I made my way to the hospital with my in-laws. I also made arrangements for a friend to pick the children up from school and bring them to the hospital later. It was Mr D's birthday, you see, so I wanted everyone to be there with him.

When we arrived at the hospital, Mr D sat slumped on the chair, hardly aware of his surroundings. I whispered Happy Birthday Cayang... in his ears. The pillow that supported his back was all drenched as the tube that drained the fluid from his stomach had leaked, or so we thought. When Jonathan, the nurse, came in to check his blood pressure, I told him to have a look at the tube. We discovered that it had actually come off. He was cleaned and changed into a different pyjama.

Later, David, the doctor, came for his rounds and informed us that both Mr D's blood pressure and haemoglobin were low. He recommended putting him on drips and 3 bags of blood. Again, he was poked and probed just to get the right vein.

By then, it was almost noon. I had to rush to the airport to pick my brother-in-law, Abang Hashim. I brought him straight to the hospital to meet Mr D and do the needful. Mr D was happy that Abg Hashim was there. Although his vision was all blurry already (effects of all the drugs), Abg Hashim's presence was much felt by him.

He even asked me, Where's Abah?

I said, There, over that side.

But he said again, No, your abah.

Oh, he's coming tomorrow, Cayang.

At one time, Mr D tried to get up from the bed and get into his slippers.
Where do you want to go, Darling? I asked.

Surau.

We were surprised. All the while he's been in the hospital, he only performed his prayers on the bed or chair. We were the ones who went down to the ground floor to perform our prayers.

No, cayang, you don't have to. Just do it here. Do your tayamum and stay here.

My mother-in-law then added, Furthermore, you've got wires all attached. How are you going down?

He just nodded.

We waited at the hospital for the children to come. At around 4pm, they arrived, all noisy and cheerful. Little D was excited and asked for the cake, to give to his beloved daddy. But Mr D was very weak. He was sitting upright on the bed, only half-conscious of what was going on. I asked the children to whisper their birthday wishes into their daddy's ear. One by one, they went. My mother-in-law cut the cake and distributed them to all but Mr D didn't have any. He hadn't eaten for almost 3 days. I cut 3 slices of the cake and gave them to the doctor and nurses at the front desk. It's his birthday today, that's why I've brought the kids here. They understood and came in to wish Mr D Happy Birthday too.

Then, we discussed who was going to stay with Mr D at the hospital that night. Both my in-laws wanted to stay and I agreed. I headed home, leaving my mother-in-law with my dearest, as I was coming back with my father-in-law later.

After dinner, we got ready to go to the hospital. Then, it struck me - I can't leave both my parents at the hospital. When the children go to school tomorrow, I can't be alone with my brother-in-law. So, I told my father-in-law and we then decided that my mother-in-law will stay at the hospital that night.

After leaving the children with the list of things-to-do-before-you-go-to-bed and a jet-lagged brother-in-law, we dropped by a friend's house to pay our respects. His mom who had suffered cancer for 9 years had passed away the day before.

As we reached the hospital, I had a few friends from university over. My mother-in-law wasn't happy to be left alone. She told me that the nurse advised for me to be with him at all times. My mother-in-law also said that while we were away, Mr D has asked to go to the surau again.

The nurse later dropped in and pulled me aside, He's probably going in 24 hours time...

I understood what she meant. I had seen it myself. He was too much in pain, that they had to drug him that much. I had cried so much within the few days, just looking at him. I then decided that the three of us had to be there with him. So, I called up Dr S's husband, M, and asked him to come to the hospital to bring Twin H home. I also made arrangements for a friend to fetch my dad from the airport the next day. I called up another friend, who was the closest neighbour, and asked her to help check on the kids the next morning.

That night, when we read Mr D the Yaasin and recited the kalimatullah with Mr D, he responded full-heartedly. We always came and read him the verses from the Quran but usually he'd follow us in whispers and probably fall asleep in between. That night, it was different. Though his voice was hoarse and his words slurry, he read along in a loud voice. Yaasin...

After a point, he only followed the zikr I often chanted with him, Lailahailla anta subhanaka innikuntuminazzolimin, and I followed him. I read the surah lazims with him and the ayatul kursi. My father-in-law sat at the end of his feet, reading Al-Waqiah.

At moments, his mind drifted away, and he said things that made no sense. But once, he asked, Nak ikut jalan mana ni? Yang ni ke ni? And I said, Ikut jalan Allah...Ikut jalan Allah saja... I feared that the devil had come to confuse him but I knew that he would know which path to choose.

We had read him the quranic verses for almost an hour, when suddenly he fell quiet. I saw it coming. The angel had come, and I knew. I read the syahadah close to his ear, repeating continuously. It happened in only a few minutes, and he was then gone... I glanced at my mobile, it was 10.50pm. I kissed him and I told him, it's okay, Allah knows best.

It was then that I began to send text messages to my sister back home and some friends.

In moments, friends made their way to the hospital. We sat and discussed the proceedings for the following day, with some local friends. My decision was simple: to have things done as smoothly and as quickly as possible. I am not bothered much about culture or traditions, and do not like to create disagreements or disputes. I explained to the Malay community that we'll have to respect the local community and follow through with whatever they decide.

We went back home at 4am and I had a couple hours of sleep. My in-laws didn't. When it was time for Subuh prayers, I woke Twin Z up. I then sat him close by my side and told him what had happened. He was surprised. Tears flowed down his cheeks.

Later, Twin H came back from the sleep-over. He was already sobbing. I hugged him and told him that Allah loves his dad and has taken him to jannah. The other two then woke up and again, I explained it to them.

Alhamdulillah, everything else went smooth sailing. A relative, K , from London, took the lead confidently and coordinated well with M. Initially, the washing up of the deceased was led by a local, but then when he saw Abang Hashim doing a very good and thorough job, he let Abang Hashim do it our way, with the Malay community.

Surprisingly, once it was done, I was called in with my mother-in-law, girl and youngest. The night before, we were advised to wait out of the mosque compound, as ladies were not allowed anywhere within the mosque area. Somehow, the doors were all open for us then. In fact, it was left open for all visitors, men and women, to have a last look at.

The next worry was to have my dad arrive on time - before the body is wrapped up for the prayers, and then to the grave yard. After the Zuhr prayers, the men began to make their way to the body. I begged Brother Yusuf to give us another 5 minutes because I knew dad was just around the corner. Praises to the Almighty, Abah managed to have a last look at my dearest.

We followed the procession to the grave yard but waited out the gates. Remember, ladies were not allowed in. However, as soon as they laid the coffin in and buried it, we were again beckoned. The men were still there and yet we were allowed to come in. I was surprised.

All in all, my late husband, Hazlishah Abdul Hamid (aka Mr D) went peacefully and very quickly. I believe that Allah has set the best for us all, and in Him we all trust.

Dear D,
condolence to you, it seems only yesterday....but a year ago, that I met Hazli at the Kg tunku Mosque. The last image of him there after Friday Prayers just before going to Uk was a really happy man setting off for a new adventure with his family. He had a good life and a good family with to support him all the way. May ALLAH place him amongst the noble and the righteous

Wassalam

Assalamulaikum Mrs/Kak D,

The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) said: "The martyrs are 5: those who are stabbed, THOSE WHO DIE OF STOMACH DISEASE, those who drown, those who are crushed by falling walls, and those who die in battle for the sake of Allaah€( Authentic Hadith Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 615).

InhsALLAH Mr D left this world as a martyr...shahid.....Dua saya agar dia kini di taman syurga. Perpisahan ini tidak selama2nya sebab janji Allah bg org2 beriman ialah mereka yg menyayangi each other akan bersatu semula di syurga yang abadi.

Semoga Mrs D dan anak2 dicurahi ketabahan dan iman yg mantap sentiasa. Amin.

My dearest arwah,

I died from minerality and became vegetable;
And From vegetativeness I died and became animal.
I died from animality and became man.
Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die
Bringing forth wings and feathers like angels;
After that, soaring higher than angels -
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that.

your adversity have filled my mind since knowing of Hazli's passing over through Fairuz's email on Tuesday afternoon. i thank you for the experience you ever so willingly share with us. so inspiring, so humbling.

teringat ke fairuz's kak teh (fazah) bila abg nazri nak pergi dulu. fairuz cerita, kak teh bisik ke telinga abg nazri, "Kita jumpa di sana, ya 'Bang..." during the last moments.

Kak Teh's and this story of yours, should bring hope to us all that when we thought we would not have the strength, we actually do... dengan izin Allah, that is.

The whole world's love and du'a to you, anak-anak and family, Dijji.

Love.

Assalamualaikum D,
Takziah buat D sekeluarga. Saya hanya mengenali D dari kawan saya QOTH namun saya dapat merasakan ketabahan yang amat sangat dalam diri D, semoga ALLAH kekalkannya demi anak-anak. Ingat, ALLAH tidak akan membebankan sesorang hambaNYA dengan bebanan yang tidak tertanggung olehnya. InsyaALLAH dengan sokongan dari keluarga dan sahabat D, segala urusan dipermudahkan ALLAH. Jangan malu dan segan untuk meminta pertolongan.
Saya do'akan semoga roh Mr. D akan ditempatkan bersama hamba-hamba ALLAH yang diterima disisiNYA.

As a sunnah of our Rasulullah saw, we are asked to read a doa for the dead as follows:

"Wahai Tuan kami, sesungguhnya Hazlishah Abdul Hamid adalah di dalam genggamanMu, oleh itu peliharalah
dia daripada fitnah kubur dan azab api neraka, Engkaulah yang paling layak memenuhi janji dan
kebenaran, oleh itu ampunilah dia dan kasihanilah dia, sesungguhnya Engkau maha pengampun
lagi maha penyayang"

Amin Ya Rabbil Alamin

Assalammualaikum,

I am sorry to hear about your husband. When I read your post, I feel terribly sad and tearful.

Ini semua dugaan Allah Taala. I know you are very strong woman and you have to be because your children needs you to be strong. Prayers for your well being.

Don't worry, although you feel that you are alone, we Muslim will always stay together no matter where we are.

InsyaAllah, your husband akan di tempatkan di kalangan org2 yg beriman.

I shall not ask you to be patient,
I shall not ask you to be strong,
I shall not say you must now learn
to have your chin up and move on.

I would say, it's alright Miss D,
Cry, just cry your heart out,
Have a moment, a time to be,
with you, Allah, and say your prayers out loud,
For He listens, For only He knows,
what's there in your pure heart,
For the strength and comfort He'll bestow,
As He already did right from the start.

My condolences and my prayers for Mr. D, you and kids. You have been tested Miss D and I believe you have passed with flying colours. I'm sure Mr D is very proud of you now.

Thanks for sharing.
Assalamualaikum.
Warmest Regards

As I read to your blog i felt tears welling up inside me but I could not contained my tears any longer when I read the part your Father in law reading the passages of Al-Waqiah.

I checked the translation and meaning again and once again I cried when i read ayat 88. I read also Al-Fajr ayat 27 and humbled with the meaning.

Thank you for sharing. Your post has renewed my conviction to make Surah Al-Waqiah my daily read. InsyaAllah.

I pray you and your family be strong during this trials by Allah.

Assalamualaikum Kak D,
Takziah and Al-Fatihah. My husband is a friend of your dearest Mr D. He asked me to read your blog. Your blog have give me so much insight, understanding and realization of something that I had missed out. My wonderful father passed away because of colon cancer when I was a teenager. It was so sudden since he died 3 weeks after he was admitted to the ICU. I never had the chance to talk to him before he passed away, because I was studying far away and was only informed of his condition after he was admitted to the ICU. It was so sudden since he was not sick before. I was at a lost and was really sad. I cried everyday for 2 years whenever I think of him. I was really close to him. After a few years, I've learn to accept his death. I've also turn to a 'strong cookie'. But, what really strike me when I read your blog is my mom. I have never really understood her before. She was a fragile person, that the first thing that she said to me when my father was in ICU is, "I don't know what to do". I was her pillar of strenght when dad was sick and after he passed away. After that she was always busy with her life that sometimes I feel sad and angry because she never have time for me. Now I understands why. She was trying her best to live life without her most precious gem, her soulmate. I just want to say that your blog make me realized that I might have been selfish all this time, I have never understand the feeling of a widow instead of just the orphan. I will try to mend the distance relationship that I have with my mom. Thank you. Please take care and I wish you the very best.

Assalamualaikum D,
I first met your late husband at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport sometimes in 2005 or 2006. My husband who was then working in Sudan with Mr D wanted me to send few things to him through Mr D who was on his way back to Khartoum after spending a two weeks holidays here in Malaysia. I was given the late's phone number in which I called and made an arrangement to meet at the airport. What I could say from that first meeting was Mr D was really a very kind-hearted man ( I was initially very nervous about how Mr D's reaction would be after seeing me walking toward him with a bagful of clothes for my husband but Mr D was very calm, very cool,very easy going person, he's not making any fuss about the extra load he had to carry infact he still manage to give me an honest smile and create a joke whether I want to send any peluk cium to my husband....)
So it was not a surprise the shocked I had when my husband told me that Mr D was suffering from cancer and has only 6 months to live. It was in 2007 and my husband was already back in KL and he learned about Mr D's predicament from an office mate.Since then too I was a frequent visitor to pause to reflect and everytime I read it and saw Mr D's picture, I will always remember the kind-hearted not fussy person I once had a chance to meet less than a year ago. Infact I had few pictures of Mr D and my husband in Sudan in the computer. .And when one day my husband came back and told me about Mr D's passing, I cried. I looked at his smiling pictures and it saddens me more knowing he's no longer around with us.... My heart goes out to his wife and young children he left behind, being a wife and a mother myself. But like D always say, we love him very much but Allah loves him more. Allah is not taking him to make him suffer but He takes him back to lessen his sufferings. Mr D is now off to a better place and he was very lucky to be blessed with few kids who can always offer prayers to their beloved dad.
Takziah D and Alfatihah....Do know that your husband is a very good and kind hearted man. You are very lucky indeed to be given a chance to share your life with such a wonderful loving man......
