We came from Him, and we will return to Him. Hopefully, He has given us this burden because He knows we can endure it. May He make us among those who endure and are patient. Just as He granted patience to our Prophet, may He also grant us the patience of a Prophet. In this world, we are all temporary. My child, it was a little too early; this was the lifespan determined by Allah. May my Lord reunite us in His paradise."
