I probaly read through this article atleast five times. It is true and sad, but we will have to learn to move on. Funny enough Im having to move on from someone I love and am attached to dearly, this article came in the right time, because I realised I was get attached to an extend it would only destroy me, and we humans are not meant to be attached in such a way that is makes us forget Allah.. whatever it maybe..

Beautifully written. I can relate to the experience of the author – I left my home in the State of Oregon, to Europe for medical school – for 6 years and have recently returned home Alhamdulillah. Though I would return home for the summer and winter holidays during those six years, I realized that life changes, circumstances change – this change defines the life of this world. We all get caught up in being attached to people and places – places change (even home), people, as was pointed out, come and go, yet the one constant, no matter where this short journey takes us, is Him – so our only true attachment, should thus, be to the One who is Always Present and unchanging. Even now, back at home, many things are no longer as they were when I left that September day in 2005.

One thing that I was reminded of by this article, is that “Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face.” (Qur’an 28:88)

Jazak’Allahu Khairan for this great reminder and insha’allah, let’s hope it resonates with us for the remainder of our lives. Ameen.

Mashallah, I really need this piece at this time. I just recently moved from a state I’ve lived in with my family for over a decade to another state for school purposes. Br. Ammar expresses and helps put into perspective many of the same emotions I’ve been experiencing in this journey. What a coincidence that I stumbled upon such a piece now – its all by Allah’s design. Jazakallahi Khair!
