#Story and a lesson
just retribution
Thirty years ago I was an arrogant girl and a modern wife raising the slogans of women's liberation
And she sees marriage as just a social procedure that does not entail any duties, and God willed that I stay with my husband’s mother so that my husband provides me with a separate housing 🏠 with the specifications I want..
And the years I lived with my mother-in-law were the worst years of that patient lady, and unfortunately I was the secret of this badness, for I gave my ear👂🏼 to the advice of friends to show her the red eye😡 from the beginning, so I decided to confine my mother-in-law to her room
And master her house 🏠 and treat her like a heavy guest! I put her clothes in the last laundry,
She comes out dirtier than she was, and I clean her room once a month, and I don't care to prepare her special food🍱 that suits her illness,
She was like a tall mountain, smiling at me with pity, and spending the day inside her room praying and reading the Qur’an
She does not leave her except for ablution or taking the tray of food that I put for her on the table in the hall.
And knock on the door sharply to get out and take it! My husband was busy with his work;
Therefore, he did not notice anything and she did not complain to him, but she would answer him when he asked her about her condition with me with praise.
She raises her hands to the sky calling me guidance and happiness.
I did not exert myself much in explaining her patience and not complaining about me to my husband, but the pride of victory blinded me from seeing the truth 👀 until the disease became severe for her.
She felt that the deadline was near, and she called me and said to me while I was standing in front of her fidgeting:
I did not want to repay you with the same kind of abuse, in order to preserve the stability of my son's house and in the hope that your situation would be rectified.
And I intended to hear you my supplication for guidance for you, so that you might reconsider yourself in vain.
Therefore, I advise you - as a mother - to abstain from your cruelty, at least in my last days.
Perhaps I can forgive you. She said her words and fell into a coma of death, she did not see the tears that flooded my face, and she did not feel my kisses that fell on her kind face.
She died before I showed her the other side and atone for my sins towards her. She died and my husband thinks I served her with my own eyes.
My son grew up and got married and was unable to provide a private house, so I invited him to live with me in my spacious house in which I live alone after the death of his father. He responded and his wife managed the wheel of time.
So she treated me as I used to treat my mother-in-law before, so I did not get bored, because this is the just retribution and hasty punishment, but I spared patience to help me insist on praying that God would forgive me and suffice me from the evil of the hell of the hereafter, meeting the hell of the world in which I live with my son’s wife.
And it makes me bear my chest boiling with a question I can't answer,
Did my late mother-in-law forgive me, or did she comment this permission on changing my treatment of her?
🔘 This is a change that God did not allow me to do.
The world has a law called rotation... It will come back to you, whether good or bad.
It is better to do what you want to return to you.
