It was Allah's will

Bismillahirrahmanirraheem

Today is a sad day indeed, no, last night was....
We both went to a meeting at PKJ last night & only got home around midnight. Was really careful opening the door not to wake the kids up - all were fast asleep, alhamdulillah, including 'Iffah.
Asked Iffah if she had solat isya', but she was too groggy to answer. Left it at that and decided to take my wudhu' first. Once ready, we'll wake her up.

Tonight we were going to solat hajat for 'Atif's SPM - his first paper the next day, wednesday. Besides there's another pending issue that also needs solat hajat ( & istikhoroh! )

On the way to the toilet , my heart missed a beat!!! The table looked a bit strange & empty... ya Allah, my laptop's not. there!! Quickly turned my eyes towards the computer table.. oh no! the other laptop's not there either!!!
My worst nightmare had finally happened.. all these time, I could only sympathise with neighbours & friends who had their houses broken into. Tonight, it happened to us.

We quickly checked the whole house to see what else were missing - Iffah's phone & some cash. We thanked Allah & syukur sangat the children were not harmed. They were fast asleep throughout, Alhamdulillah. Our greatest fear & concern was always the children's safety.

Syukur alhamdulillah too:-

• the camera that I thought was on the table was later found to be in my handbag
• the passports which had been lying around on the table the past week were taken into Mok's room yesterday evening for safekeeping
  
• Several thousand ringgit of JIM"s Qurban money in the computer bag had been taken out and given to Wardah monday evening

On hindsight, syukur too there were the laptops, had there been nothing, they might have been disappointed and only Allah knows what could have happened, na'udzubillah.

It is so hard to comprehend what went through their minds, was there not a weeny bit of Iman that could jolt them to have Ihsan towards their victims, knowing the anguish & trouble out of their doings. Allahuakbar, I couldn't really close my eyes last night thinking about it.  And even today, it feels really creepy thinking about starngers barging into our home, our private territory, supposedly a safe haven...

Ya Allah. Kami bersyukur atas segala ni'mat yang telah Engkau kurniakan. Tenangkan lah hati kami dalam redha menerima ketentuan Mu. Moga musibah ini menjadi kaffarah pada dosa2 kami. Ameen ya Rabbal 'aalameen
