Emotional Ending of al-Qaswa

April 14, 2011

Assalamualaikum WBT

This is a picture of us and our beloved car which we named al-Qaswa.

Umar Ziyad was still in the tummy at this time

The connection between us and the car was special.

1. It was our first ever car.

2. With the help of my so much missed friends Ikhwan and Syauqi, I chose the car and tried to give Naili the pleasant ‘surprise’ when I brought it home .

3. It was the one that took Naili to the clinics for check-ups and rushed her to the Hospital when Umar Ziyad was about to be delivered.

4. It was Umar Ziyad’s first ever ‘car experience’

5. It was the one that I used to bring my small family to places and Islamic circles to enjoy the nice happy family experience.

and so much more….

few months ago, it started to get ill. At first it was the driver’s window, then the engine, then the gear box, then the brake. It was cancer equivalent. It had made all of us worried. could this be the end of it?

After giving it a good thought, considering the amount we have to spend to cure the disease, we eventually decided to let Qaswa go…
