Today, sadness has truly settled over our home.
Ethan had a dog named Bella. Those who have been following me for a long time may already know about her. She was a German Shepherd. Today, around Asr time, the poor soul suddenly passed away. Since then, Ethan has been completely heartbroken. He cried like a child, and I have never seen him cry like this before. My own heart feels deeply troubled too — one pain is the shock of losing her so suddenly, and the other is seeing Ethan so broken and full of grief.
She may have been an animal, but Ethan cared for her with so much love. Before keeping her for protection, he had even asked a M***i for guidance, and after that, he took full responsibility for her care. He gave her milk, special food, and healthy things to keep her strong. I used to joke sometimes and say, “It feels like you brought home my rival, because who takes this much care of someone?” And he would always reply, “They are voiceless. They protect us, and they cannot speak. They are still part of our home.”
And it was never about money or because she was expensive. His heart is simply that pure and kind. Ever since we got married, he has made it a habit to come home in the evening and go feed the stray dogs in the street. Any animal around him that cannot take care of itself, he tries to care for with his own hands. He even had separate clothes for this, so after feeding them, he would shower and change into clean clothes.
People with hearts like this are very rare.
Bella has gone where she was meant to go. The time of death is fixed for every living being. Animals are fortunate in a way, because they will not be held accountable. It is we humans who remain careless. We know everything, yet we still make mistakes, fall into sin, and forget what truly matters.
May Allah Almighty guide all of us completely and keep us on the right path. Ameen, sum Ameen.
