Fatima 
she was deeply griefed
Life without her Father
passed so sombre.
tears... day after another.
Her merry was vanished, 
so was her laughter

Until that time… 
five months from the death of her Father… 
after a rare raptured morning 
in one Ramadan evening
she asked for a special bath, 
put on new clothes
and perfumed herself beautifully fragrance.
She then urged to put her bed in the courtyard
and had her face looking above to heavens…

She asked for her husband 
and only after he was in her side
came her heavenly words:
"I have an appointment today with the Messenger of God" 
smile was in her face.

The courageous  husband cried.
She told him to look after their beloved children
and advised for a simple burial
with no ceremony.

She had another upward gaze 
closed her eyes
now truly surrendered her soul
to the Almighty Creator.

The Shining One...
she was just twenty nine years old
but years to come
she would keep herself
shining into our souls.
