Success

Salam aiya my beloved baby.

I pray that you are healthy and happy with mom. Abah ok here, alot of work.. i like it this way i guess.. fully optimizing my time. work til late night. i want it to be like this for the next few years. so that i dont bog down with sadness thinking of you.

My lawyer contacted me early this week. The court came out with judgement that mama was disobidient to abah during our marriage. Well, it doesnt matter anymore now does it. For the lawyer, it will be difficult for mama to apply full custody and even ask for money from me after this. But that all dont matter now. Alhamdulillah, at least I was not wrong about her being disobedient to me.

My friend and I were talking about how we all define success. One friend said that it's all money. he wants to be a millionaire by 35. he believes if he gets that, he's a success.

Another friend said money dont matter. The real wealth is your family and especially your kids. When you get old, you will leave behind your kids. So successful kids, like you I pray, is the real invaluable wealth and success in this world.

I dont know much. For now, I simply define I achieve success if I can optimize all the resources i have around me, in seeking the pleasure of Allah. Time, family, money, knowledge etc.. I pray that everything I do counts and accepted by Allah as Ibadah. For now, that's how I define my success.

May this wait, all these moment of sadness and happiness and all the things we both do, become Ibadah and accepted by Allah.

I love you baby, always,
Abah
