Lessons

Dad was teaching me again tonight. Tonight the Burhani Guards had a darees. In addition to having a darees, they raised money to give a few lucky people a ticket to Karbala to do ziyarat. Dad is naseeb and he was chosen. Wow!  His immediate response was to donate it to someone who hasn’t not been yet. So generous. 

Later that night I just wanted to get home. I was almost out the door to discover that someone had taken my shoes. I was so ready to leave and I looked all over for ten minutes looking for them. Then I remembered dad a few years ago in London took his shoes off at a masjid entrance at a miqaat with Moula. He just took them off and left them. He didn’t care. He had stuff to do at masjid.  I remembered his attitude. They’ll be here or they won’t. He couldn’t care less. So baller. 

Taher, they’re just shoes.
