a very good friend of mine, his father got a cancer. preliminary tests showed existence of cancer in his lungs. my friend went to Dhaka today for advanced tests to be sure about it. yet very few people know about it. even his father doesn’t know. my friend wants to be sure about it first. he told me about this on the day before yesterday. he was hesitating a lot to tell me or not, but he had to tell somebody to share this feeling of pain and sorrow. he doesn’t have a girlfriend and i’m the one of his closest friend in uni. i never saw his father. his hometown located at the west-northern part of Bangladesh where his family live. he is the eldest son of his family. if something happen to his father, he will have to take care of the family. i have tried my best to console him and tried to give him some courage. may Allah help him.
so much pain and suffering in human life, how can we deny to believe in god? without god, where can we rely, who will take care of our pains, where can we find the strength to walk on the road of life that is full of thrones?
