AL-FATIHAH FOR KAK RADEN GALOH

I haven't been online for a few days, so I didn't know until I came online today. It was a shock when I read about her demise.
Innalillahi wainna illaihi rojiuun. She has passed away.
Kak Raden Galoh or her real name, Dalilah Tamrin, had been a source of inspiration to others, because despite her long fight against cancer, she had never given up. Although I've never met her personally, I've never missed reading her blog posts and continued to be touched by her never ending courage and trust in Allah. Even in her latest post, she continued to be hopeful and thankful to Allah SWT for His blessings.
And at about 8.50am today, she's returned to Him, as we all will, one day.
She had not lost to cancer.
She had overcome the fear the big C has created among us all. And in her own special way, she taught her readers that a disease such as cancer, may make us, the victims sickly and weak physically but never spiritually. In fact, being a Muslimah who trust and thank Him, even in great sickness and pain, would give better results.
She's in a better place now, insyaAllah.


Kembaliku Pada Ilahi [Seeking Hope]
(Kak Raden's poem which has been recorded as a song)

Ku jitukan yakin
Pada setiap sujudku
Jariku susun rapi
Mengirim doa tulus nurani

Waktu yang mendatang
Bak mega mendung hitam
Kelam malam aku sendiri

Hujung perjalanan pasti aku pergi
Tiada mungkin dapat aku menghindari
Sebelum nafasku berhenti berdetik
Amankanlah kepedihan ini
Biar pun getir dalam ku menanti
Tak berdaya namun terus ku hadapi
Menggapai harapan diriku terpilih
Kembaliku padaMu Ilahi
Kembaliku padaMu Ilahi

Hilangkan getar duka
Gusar jauh terusir
Terang bersinar cahaya damai
