I noticed we all go on about how sweet mums are, and not much is said about daddy.

this thread is dedicated to all the great daddys in the world. in the world, mine being among them alhamdulilaah may he rest in peace and may we meet in jannah tul firdous. amin.

all u have to do is say something nice about your fathers
keep it short considerately short,these things tend to bore some:rolleyes: here goes mine nothing fancy. just some real talk i guess......


My Dad

What can i say? he was my rock, my homie my best friend
loved me from the day that i was born, till the day he died on his hospital bed.
i miss him most of the time, when i remember him i testify, to the lord most high, that he was just to me, and gave me my haqq as a child.
i remember most of my laughter was because of him.
most of what i learnt were taught by him.

I loved him because he was real with me, patient with my faults and invested in me. he was the 1st person i said the words 'i love you' to. i hesitated at 1st because the words were true.
if i never feel love again in this world, i wouldnt crave it, his was enough to last me a life time.

i remember when i was yay height he lifted me up when i couldnt reach.
during his janasa was the 1st time i cried because i couldnt breath.
the flash backs of him during prayer made me fall to my knees. alhamdulilaah i had diin in my life it taught me how to cope with the emptiness i felt deep inside.

saw his body in the coffin and i didnt cry? because i knew in my heart it wasnt goodbye. The best deed in my eyes that i have done next to testifying that Allah was one, was influencing my father to pray salaah, who knew 3 months later from that day his soul would go back to Allah. saying the words la ilaha ilal laah, Allah blessed me because he destined a good end for my dad, he destined that i would be the last to hear him speak, he took his soul on the best date of the year on arafa, on the best of the days friday, at the best of times asr.

It's been four years, one month,15 hours and 54 mins since he went away
I miss him so much words cant describe what i want to say. He was a military genius with a beautifull smile that would make ur day. Respected by both the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, his izza won him the respect of all he met, but it was his justice that won him trust, his mercy that won him my love

May Allah have mercy on all the dead muslims. amin

MashaAllah Quest seriusly that made me tear. I'm super close with my father and I really don't know what life would be like if he wasn't in my life. I have really no words to explain how much my Daddy means to me. He taught me everything I needed to know in this life. I love him so much that whenever I look into his eyes tears come to me. The same when I try to write about him or talk about him. My Dad is my hero, and he's loved by everyone whoever met him or got to know him. I have a very unique friendship with him. I can tell him anything. He knows how to make me laugh. He was one of the people who lowered his father into the grave he was only 8. He was right there when his father died. When his mother was dying he was the first son that she asked for "I want to see Uthman, get Uthman for me"...she had many children, the only person she requested to see was my father. When he came he held her head and gave her some water. She said to him "Please give away all of my belongings to the poor, give it to the ones who have nothing. Then she said alhamdulilah I can see your face before I go. My father remembers this so well, when he talks about it he sobs. He also buried his mother with his own hands. MashaAllah I think thats very beautiful and fortunate to be there when your parents are dying. May Allah reward him, give him Jannah for being a real man in this life and raising me with Kindness, love, compassion, and most of all Islam.:love:

I pray sister quest, that your father is in jannah May Allah swt give him the highest rank in jannah and reward him for rasing you so beautifuly. I cried when I read what you wrote about him. I love him for Allahs sake:love:

May Allah SWT illuminate his grave ameen ra rabal alimeen

May Allah grant your fathers (quest, al qurabah and sis Monica) the highest station in Jannah do forgive him of all his sins, bless their family on earth and grant them prosperity and eemaan in this dunyah and in the akhirah

May you never feel panmgs of hurt and pain without being rewarded for your losses and may you be reunited in Jannah soon inshallah. Ameen

mashallah, listen to me sis, i mean this sincerely, cherish every moment, because one day his going and ur going, i still remember the last time i saw my father walk.

its shocking i was the last to see him on foot and the last to hear him speak clearly.

he left his apartment i left 5 mins b4 but got caught up chit chatting, so when i saw him coming because it would upset him that i was late due to idle talk.
i hid behind a wall, and watched him as he slowly crossed the street, and slowly drifted of.
6pm that same day i get a phone call saying his been taken to hospital.

that moment walahi i never imagined would be the last time i see him walking.
thats what i mean, treat ur father like every moment is his last.
dont take anything for granted. i would give a mountain of gold if i had it just to see him one last time.

may allah bless ur father i was also touched by ur post, 2 qualitys i love most in a man is strength and mercy both posessed it alhamdulilaah.
