She spent half of her life plucking, waxing, moisturizing, dieting, exercising, brushing, applying make up, tucking this, hiding that, buying this and buying that.
Wore clothes that hung gracefully to her shape, accessories to add taste, fake eyelashes here, fake extension there, piercing this and even willing to do the plastic surgery.
"It is my body," she argued to those who criticized her.
Then, came the day when she died. She was shrouded with just a plain white cloth.
She was left to lay in the dirt where her body will disintegrate to nothing as the maggots feast on the skins she used to take so much care of.
"This is my body," she had argued.
It was never hers but was given by Allah. It belongs to Allah. Only Allah. For it was hers, she'd never have left it behind.
"Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (Quran, 2:156)
Self reminder,
Qusyaimah Rosman
