Mussa Ibrahim Hajat - A Poem
Born in India
Buried in Blantyre
A loving and beloved
Son, husband, father, grandfather
Big brother, brother in law,
Cousin, uncle, and friend.
Once known to many as Mussa Bata
His name is synonymous with laughter.
His dedication to his family and his business
Has left a footprint none can dismiss.
From city to city he traveled
Selecting shoes and sealing deals.
He followed his dreams and put in the work
He reaped the rewards and never looked back.
Our Mussa Mama - a role model for all
Lived his life with faith and discipline.
Dressed in a safari suit with his briefcase in hand
And razor-sharp focused on the job at hand!
He took care of his health like no other
Remembering that his body is an amanah
Doctors' appointments he made and kept
Letting no symptom go unchecked.
Our Mussa Mama - our family treasure
A stickler for routine and a follower of rules
Living his best life - all in good measure
Balancing work, rest, and pleasure.
Always present at family gatherings
Listening attentively and nodding away
Waiting patiently to make his move
And light up the conversation with laughter and love.
Tea time would always find him
Not wanting to keep himself apart
A full cup of tea was too much for him
So for half a cup he would always ask.
May our memories of him
Always comfort and inspire us
To be the best that we can be
To carry on his legacy
To know our purpose here on Earth
And never for one moment doubt our worth
To keep our eyes on the everlasting prize.
May Allah reward our uncle with Paradise.
Aameen. Thooma Aameen.
