It had been three days since we brought Mrs. Yousuf (Ammi) home from the hospital. During those three days, the house was constantly filled with relatives coming to visit. Because of the constant rush of people, Ammi wanted to tell me something, but she couldn't find a private moment to speak.
Ammi's Last Words
Then came her final night. On that night, she spoke to me in private, appearing as if she were perfectly healthy and fine. She said,
"Son, now you must take care of your father and your siblings. From now on, you are the one responsible for this home."
She continued, "Son, whatever is inside me (this illness) can only harm me. As long as I am alive, I will never let it reach my children." Those were the last words my mother spoke to me while she was fully conscious. Afterward, she asked for food. For the first time in many days, she ate a full meal with an appetite. Eventually, everyone went to sleep.
The Final Night
Around 3:00 AM, everything she had eaten began coming back up. My father quickly cleaned her mouth and asked in a panic, "What is happening?" Ammi replied weakly, "I don't know what is happening to me," and then she drifted back to sleep. We all eventually fell asleep as well.
When I woke up for the Fajr (dawn) prayer, Ammi appeared to be sleeping peacefully. I offered my prayers and cried out to Allah, "O Allah, please make my mother completely well." After praying, I went back to my room to rest for a moment. Suddenly, my younger brother's voice pierced the silence: "Brother! Something has happened to Ammi, come quickly!"
A World Turned Upside Down
When I saw Ammi, she looked so peaceful, as if she were in a deep, tranquil sleep. But when I checked her pulse and heartbeat, there was nothing. I rushed outside frantically to get an ambulance. As I ran, a heavy rain began to pour, as if the sky itself were weeping.
We took her to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor uttered the words that changed my life forever: "She is no longer in this world. She passed away 20 minutes ago." In that moment, I felt like I was left completely alone in this life. I cried uncontrollably that day, and the rain outside simply would not stop.
The Final Farewell
That evening, we took Ammi to her final resting place—the graveyard. I had no money at the time, so I had to sell the gold we had to cover all the funeral expenses. It was the heaviest day of my life.
