I dreamt I had a grave accident and was admitted in a hospital,
I was in ICU,
The doctors were trying their best to save me.
As I was breathing my last,
I saw Gibrail with an Angel
He took my soul and gave it to the Angel to take me to Heaven.
We travelled through an incredibly lighted tunnel,
Its aureole was amazing.
We soon reached the Gates of Heaven,
Thousands of Palestinians stood patiently at the gates,
Wounded, mutilated bloodied,
But calm and at peace,
Eagerly awaiting their turns to enter the Gates.
My Angel had a special pass and we entered from a side gate,
Inside was chaos,
Thousands of Palestinians waited patiently to be allocated their place,
Amazing, here not a scratch could be seen on them,
They were attired in the most beautiful clothes,
Drinking from the fountain ofย ย Hauze Kawthar,
Eating fruits from the Garden of Eden,
Peace, serenity and happiness
written on their faces,
There were smiles and laughter everywhere
Flustered army of Angels scurried here and there to meet their every needs,
Plus allocate them their abode.
Suddenly the Head Angel's eyes fell on me,
Why have brought her she said,
We are very busy with the thousands of Palestinians ,
They are all martyrs,
They all must have the highest VVIP place in Janat,
Please take her back,
We don't have a place to accommodate her,
We have already requested Allah to do something to stop the flow.
And in a blink of an eye I was back at the hospital,
My heart machine beeping,
My children gave cries of joy
shouting for the doctor.
