Looking back at the past few weeks, I've noticed that I've been asked for my advice or my good counsel by some of the closest friends that I've made from time to time over the years. What one of them said to me recently reminded me that purpose will emerge itself for our individual existence at different times throughout our lives. In not so many words, upon unloading what was bottling inside him, he told me that I was his best friend and even if I did not happen to realise that, I had been perhaps the only person who knew him best as we've been friends for over decades. I had been hearing this from different people throughout these few weeks, which then told me that perhaps in life, I had been given a simple role by the Almighty Allah : to be of comfort to my friends.
As I ponder over the many conversations and situations I've had and been with different people over the years, I hope this is true. I hope I have been a comfort to my dear friends..
