Hope Beyond the Bombs

“Dear child from Gaza, my name is Alimna, and I come from Pakistan,”
The letter said.
The child read enthusiastically, “Even if a bomb may strike at this very moment, I am truly saddened by the death and loss of many Palestinians. Even if I am safe in my country, I may not be tomorrow. You and your people have great courage.”
The sound of bombs continued as the child read the last part of the letter.
“May Allah bless you. I wish I could do more to help, but I pray that Allah keeps a special place in Jannah for your people.”
The letter ended with a signature. The child smiled, looking up at the sky through the broken window, seeing Jannah past the bombs.
