وقفة عرفات
محمود محمود عبد الفضيل
ترجمها إلى الإنجليزية عبد اللطيف غسري
في نهاية شهر رمضان والجميع ينتظر ليله القدر. جلست الام تدعو الله و تبتهل و تتهجد بالدعاء لشفاء ابنها الوحيد.
فقد سقط من سطح المدرسة أثناء لهوه مع زملائه أثناء الفسحة.
ظلت طوال الشهر تجتهد في الدعاء والدموع تحرق وجنتيها. وبقلب يعتصره الألم حزنا على عرفات ابنها الوحيد اليتيم الذي يرقد طريج اافراش منذ فتره طويله اجري خلالها العديد من الحراحات الحرجه ومر بمراحل علاج جعلت امه تستدين من كل صوب وحدب
وفي يوم من ايام العشر الاواخر من رمضان وهي تقرا القران بصوت متذلل واهن و عندما اتت الي الايه واذا مرضت فهو يشفين. وجدت ابنها يستند الي الحائط بخطوات متثاقله بعد ان كان طريحا للفراش اشهر طويله
عندما رات عرفات صاحت بكل قوه الله اكبر الله اكبر
وارتمت بين احضانه وسط دموعها و هي لا تصدق ماحدث
وهكذا كانت وقفة عرفات في ليله القدر
وسجدت الام شكرا و حمدا لله ومعها عرفات الذي ايقن وقتها ان الام هي الكنز الحقيقي في الحياة.

Arafat Standing Position
A very short story by Mahmoud Abdelfadeel
Translated from Arabic by ABDELLATIF RHESRI
In Ramadan, while everybody was waiting for Laylat Al Qadr (Night Of Power), the mother sat down and kept praying and supplicating God to heal her son who had fallen from the school roof while playing around with his classmates during the break time. She spent the whole holy month praying earnestly, her tears flowing down and burning her cheeks and her hearts getting torn apart with pain. She was extremely sad about her only orphaned son who was lying in bed for a long period of time, during which he underwent so many critical surgeries and went through so many treatment phases. His mother borrowed money for that from everywhere.
On one of the last ten days of Ramadan, while she was reciting the Holy Quran in her humble voice and as she came at that verse: (And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.), she saw her son leaning his back on the wall in heavy movements after he had been lying in bed for months. As she saw her son Arafat in that position, she cried out with her utmost strength; ""Allah is Greater" many times.
Then she ran to him and took him in her bosom, with tears flowing from her eyes, not quite believing what was happening.
Such was the way Arafat's standing position on the Night of Power was. The mother prostrated to God to express thanks and gratitude, and so did Arafat who got sure and certain that one's mother was one's real treasure in life.
