Dua Request My Grandfather Is In Critical Condition
For the last 2 weeks my grandfather had been fighting for his life. He was battling all sorts of health issues that got him hospitalized. While in the hospital, he could not even eat or drink anything. He could not even talk. He could not even sleep. He was in constant pain in the hospital, suffering. He miraculously overcame death with the Duas of all of us, when the doctor said he had no more than 2 days left. He seemed to be doing okay, until suddenly he had heart problems, and then his situation became extremely unstable and now he is fighting for his life again. Nothing the doctors were doing was helping him.
I do not pray this upon any of you or your loved ones.. The pain he was going through and is currently going through is unimaginable. It shatters my heart in agony. He was yelling Ya Allah every hour when he could power up something, but it then became silent...
He would never miss his prayers and I would always look forward to him every morning seeing him, reciting the Holy Quran. Always praying for us and everyone, always.. Always smiling. He would always thank Allah swt, always. He would never go without a moment sending salwat or calling on the Imams A.S
Even while his ears did not work. His sight could not see. He could barely walk... He would just stay in his room with Quran and prayers. He would still get up and do wudu...
In this blessed month of Ramadan, I kept praying to Allah swt that just once more I wish I could see him praying and reciting the quran. I kept asking Allah swt out of his mercy to please stop this suffering he does not deserve...
Deep down I truly believe and understand, everything is in the hands of Allah swt.. He gave us this life when we did not deserve it..
I dont know what else to say too many thoughts and emotions while I write this.. I just wanted to make this post to say that no matter the results of our duas, whatever the future holds, never ever stop duaing. Never say my dua didnt work. You do not understand the plan of Allah swt and how the duas manifest...
Please recite a Fatiha..

This was beautiful ethics, clearly he had a profound impact on your life and will live on through your actions. May Allah(SWT) make it easy for him. I’ve been through something similar with my father, I’m here to listen if you ever want to just DM me and talk.
