What Do You Say, Just What Do Say?
What do you say to your uncle who has high cholesterol but isn’t obese and isn’t allowed to eat food that he grew up eating and is the only thing that he knows. Can you imagine coming to a country that has nothing in common with what you know plus he is always sick he hasn’t seen the beauty of the new life he has acquired. What do you say when he continues talking about how he can’t eat sugar because he is diabetic, he can’t walk because of his arthritis, he can’t be outside in the heat or the cold because of his psoriasis, he can’t have more than two patients in his room because of his mysterious bacteria infection, that is making him lonely in either a hospital room or a nursing home.
What do you say when your friend tells you that the only way that she feels like she’s worth it is if she offers her body because it is her best quality, and it is the only way to show appreciation to the only guy who has been nice to her. How do you answer to the sound of her cries because of her difficulties in finding her creator. What do you say when she continues feeling the pain of the history of her people and what they have become today? She works hard to find answers but she is disappointed by everybody around her. Nobody appreciates her efforts or even acknowledges that they exist. So what do you say in order for her to understand that one day it will be worth it but how do I know? So all I do is look her in the eyes and say that ‘Allah has tests for every human being, and it is your duty on how you’ll react to it” does this make sense to her. All her life she taught herself that in order for God to test you, he is telling you why he is testing you…..so what do I say after that….is there really anything to say after that? So I switch the topic and instead I say “Allah has his intentions with you” but is it right for me to reflect my belief on her. But it Is the only belief that keeps me going
What do you say or do when your other half wakes up in the middle of the nite with a continuing pain in her chest. And you know that you’re far and can’t just walk in her room. What is there to be said….”everything will be okay…”i wanna just hold and say some more that everything will be fine. I said when I didn’t know what else to say. Form the sound of my voice I knew she could tell that I was scared.
What do say when your mom asks about your school and when you should get a job? When she asks about you aren’t you working as hard as all the other girls my age? Or when she asks you about you don’t have families like the rest of my age mates back home….my answer “INSHAALLAH”…But would I really?
All in all I feel like my life is a constant ride and most of the questions am asked I don’t have an Idea of how to answer them but to live in a circle that I was born in….so choices of what I want to be come is impossible…I think

It is tough to respond to these kinds of situations and there is nothing you can do other than just be there for them...give them you ears to listen and your heart to feel them....the best medicine of hurting heart is open ears that won't judge and kind heart that will try to feel.
