Facebook letter to Salman on losing his Father at a very young age 2nd July, 2017:

Salaam

The origin of most complexities of philosophy is the notion that they regard this world to be "complete," whereas its Creator had made it incomplete. Quran (51:49): "And We have made everything in pairs that you may take heed". 

Based on the above Quran verse (51:49) I've written on Facebook to a young boy who lost his father at a very young age. He has two younger brothers. 

Sharing with you:

Salman, you were around 10 years old, and Zeeshan was around 5 when your father passed away. Your youngest sibling, Ahmed, was born after your father's passing away. 

Do you think you shall ever reunite with your dear father? 

Your mother became a widow at a young age of perhaps 30 years. Is she destined to remain a widow and perish? Does she think of ever reuniting with her beloved husband?

I was 49 when my father passed away. My mother was 74 when she became a widow. I've had a most fulfilling life with my father. My mother has had a most fulfilling life with her husband. 

What about your family? Were you destined to lose your father at a very early age and your mother become a widow at a very young age, without ever having to be compensated? 

If such is the case, wouldn't this be the grossest of injustice in this world and the most unfair bargain here? How do you feel about it, Salman, and your brothers and mother? Let me know your feelings and thoughts. 

But if this world is coupled with the world of the Hereafter, and all the affairs and matters of this world are paired with the compensations in the Hereafter, these fit in snugly like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. 

Salman, let me know your feelings about ever being reunited with your father. And Zeeshan's feelings, who was 5, losing his father, and dear Ahmed, who was born after his father passed away. Let me know, Salman. Is this the world we live in, and perish, or does your heart pound and yearn to reunite with your father after death?

Regards,
