My heart wept…for the mother who will no longer see her child’s smile.
My heart ached…for the daughter who will never feel her father’s embrace.
My heart broke…for the sister who will no longer have her brother’s guard.
My heart shattered…for the wife who will never hold her husband’s hand.
My heart despaired…for the Change that was promised is now forgotten.
My heart enraged…at the abuse of power in the name of self-defence.
But now my heart is at ease….for the fact that Allah is Al-Muntaqim.
