ON THE EVE OF MAULIDUR RASUL: THE DIVINE GIFT

 Hari ini kita memperingati Mauludur Rasul tanda kesyukuran kita kepada Illahi.

On 20.7.2008, through much persuasion by my  neighbour-daughter, i was admitted to Sime  Darby Medical Centre, with a terrible wound in my right foot. The wound was an after result of a small blister between the big toe and the second toe. The blister was incurred as a result of walking in a semi tight shoes,from tha International Eye Specialist Centre, in Mid Valley City, to the taxi stand to catch a taxi to take me hone after a treatment at tha centre.

The greatness of Allah's invaluable gift.

Knowing that I am a diabetic, i quickly went to  a local GP, to treat my blister. After days of taking antibiotic prescribed by the GP, the blister got worse. So much so I was advised by the GP, to consult an orthopaedic surgeon which I did.

I was treated by this Otho surgeon for a couple of weeks at the SDMC. I was very amused when the surgeon told me that my ailment will heal in no time. Very soon I would be able to mount Gunung Kinabalu he said.

Allah is great and He is Almighty. SuhanaAllah. Humans can only plan, but the final decision is definitely Allah's. My blister got worse. Actually I destroyed my self, for, the surgeon had advised me not to wet the blistered foot with water. I was very stubborn. When I wanted to do  the Solat I wet the foot. Little did I know that tap water is germ full. The blister was beyond repair because of the diabetes.

Seeing the condition of the wound caused by the blister, my neighbour-daughter persuaded me to go to SDMC. Without much argument I had to accord. For it was for my own good too. At the centre my would was dressed. The wound definitely had deteriorated. For,the flesh was rotten and soggy. It was definitely bad for the nurse that dressed the wound  inserted into the hollow in the foot about a meter of ribbon gauze to suck out the soggy mess inside. I was then warded for treatment. My health deteriorated. For at one moment I was even in the blue. I collapsed blacked out. I underwent some series of tests and was injected with some various medicine, it was to no avail. Finally the unfortunate right foot was amputated ankle high, it was the unfortunate 16th day of July, year 2008 that Abu Aman was fated to be a handicapped, an OKU, a disabled old man at 65 years of age.  Abu Aman lost his right leg.

Who knows what was in store for me, except, The Great Allah. Allah nicely planned things for me and family right from the start. At first He prompted my wife to move to KL to be near the children.  If anything should happen to me she would be helpless, in Taman Setiawan. For we had nobody else in Tampin. There will be only the  three  of us, my wife, my handicapped child, and me. In KL there will be our children, our nieces and nephews, as well as our sisters. Such was the logic that urged us to move to KL.

Next item in Allah's agenda was for me to really want to buy an auto driven car, which I did in February 2008. In July I  buried my precious and priceless leg. Now I drive around with my left leg, without  doing anything to the car. There was no modification whatsoever done to the peddle. Such is the love of Allah for me, which I must be thankful to him, Syukran Jazilan Ya Allah,!!!

Another Greatness and the Almighty of Allah is manifested in his bestowal of gems and angels of friendship to me. They are in the form of  ex Brinsfordians such as Hj Abdullah Sani bin Hj Abdul Ghani, Hjh Azizah bt Abd Hamid, Haji Hassan bin Hewab and Hjh Zainab bt Kechik who forever will come to visit me, ever since after our college days, Dr. Hj. Mohyani bin Razikin who will always call and SMS me to wish me well and to find out how  the family and me were.

And now I am yet bestowed with  two sets of angels and pearls of friends in the form of Ahmad Fadzil bin Hj Yassin and Mohd Ghazali bin Yasin. They are not blood brothers though. But they are definitely brothers in Islam. I feel it is not too much for me to call them angels and pearls of friends because they aro so lovable, so kind and so selfless and helpful, especially for a handicapped person like me. Why do I have a very, very high esteem and regards of them???

For AFY, he comes to my house to fetch me and send me back afterwards when we finish visiting friends, or attending a wedding, or attending a khenduri. We went together to German Malaysia Institute at bangi, to attend Tuan Presiden son's wedding. Together we travelled to Bandar Spring Hill in Port Dickson to  attend Dato' Abdullah Abbas and Datin Rozna's khenduri Menyalang anak kembar mereka. On the 25th December we went together for Kembara TIBIES SATU, to Kuala Johol, after attending  a wedding ceremony in Seremban, a trip to Penajih, to Semerbuk, to Tenyamor in Rembau and finally to Kuala Johol. Next will be a trip to Mohamad Ibrahim sister's house in Tenyamor, for MI's wedding anniversary Khenduri, And then to our Alma Mater TBS the Great which will be our Kembara TIBIES DUO.

For GY, he stopped at my house on his way to Salleh Simon's house who threw a goodwill party, to fetch me along, all the way from Kuala Johol, to  attend SS party. He has already promised me on his way to AFY's house on 3/2/2013, to stop at my house and fetch me to bring me along to AFY's house for the Pot Luck Grand First Gathering.

Such is Almighty Allah's love for me. He accepted my rotten foot, instead he gave me a better substitute.  FRIENDSHIP AND ITS GREAT VALUES. Allah Hu Akbar. Nothing is impossible for Him. Allah The Benevolent.      aab putra heights, 153824032013, eve of Maulidur Rosul.
