Commiseration

I was reading this http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/22/georgia.landfill.body/index.html totally not what I was expecting but there it is.

'Who is Seeley's dad living/nesting with Diane/Diana in a row house that may have an A on the door? possibly the house was built by Sancho John or St. John?'

Then I remembered reading this article yesterday and have to post in response Mother's final duty to soldier son: Escort his body home

To the Moms:
27 An-Naml (The Ants)
وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِي ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ 27:70
27:70 and do not grieve over them (torment yourself), and do not be distressed over whatever they (the wrong doers) may do.

94 Sharh (Expansion)
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا 94:5
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا 94:6
94:5 certainly, with every hardship comes ease ,
94:6 surely, with every hardship comes ease.


Man's Development and Duty to Their Parents

To the One who Escorted Her Fallen Son home:

Al-Ahqaf (The Curved Sandhills)
46:15 -46:19 وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَانًا حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا
وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ
أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ
وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

(Asad)
46:15 We have enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents.
46:16 In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth; and her bearing him and his utter dependence on her took thirty months.
46:17 and so, when he attains to full maturity and reaches forty years,
46:18 he prays: “O my Sustainer! Inspire me so that I may forever be grateful for those blessings of Thine with which Thou hast graced me and my parents, and that I may do what is right that will meet with Thy goodly acceptance; and grant me righteousness in my offspring Verily, unto Thee have I turned in repentance:
46:19 I am of those who have surrendered themselves unto Thee!”
