"In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate"It is 2am and my youngest brother is not home. My mother is worried sick because she kept calling him but his phone keeps giving the 'number you've just called is unavailable'.
I know he thinks he's big enough, being 17 and all... but there are bad people out there who do not fear Allah and who are not kind... and my mother has every right to be concerned.
It's just... that sometimes I think he treats our home like a hotel; coming and going when he likes, without telling where or with whom. =( He doesn't even make the effort to call to say where he is or if he's coming late.
I told my mother that if he does get home, bolt the door and don't let him in but she says she has no heart to do that. But to me... it has come too much and I don't think that it is right for him to be doing this. =(
But still... I am worried. I am tired and if I have to go out and find him at 2am in the morning... I don't know what will happen. I don't know the roads well enough... and I might end up lost.
I am trying my best not to be angry... and that's why I am writing this... I pray for patience and faith that Allah will take care of my brother and protect him from harm... but He knows what we don't and He wills what He wills.
Is it right for me to beat my brother should he really come home late? Even Nabi s.a.w doesn't beat until the last resort. I do not want anger to fuel my concern... but I feel as if there is no other choice sometimes.
Oh Allah, give us the faith to stay vigilant, waiting for my brother to come home... Please God, keep him safe from harm....
Amin...
