My paternal grandfather had Alzheimer’s and grandmother had a series of strokes that left her paralyzed until her death.
My father started exhibiting neurological symptoms on Sunday but refused to see a neurologist until today when he was admitted to the hospital in an acute confusional state. They’re running tests on him right now and we are anxiously waiting to hear and praying that all is well.
Your prayers are needed and appreciated, jazak Allah khair.

Update: The MRI shows that he has had a stroke and they will be keeping him in the hospital until further notice. Insh’Allah I plan to go to him and my mother after my chemo infusion this Friday.
Please pray for his complete recovery, thank you!

I am holding your father in my prayers, and you as well. May the Source of Healing who healed our ancestors bring a complete healing to your father — a renewal of body and a renewal of spirit. And may God shelter you with comfort as you wait to learn more about your father’s prognosis. Blessings to you both.

God is the Great Curer, the One who can perform great miracles and place His might Healing Hand to cure anything. Inshallah He will bring your father back onto the path of full recovery very soon and when you meet him after Friday he will be completely alright. He is in my prayers and in the prayers of my family. The kids will pray for him too Inshallah.
Look after yourself, my dear heart!

OK, I say this without meaning any offense to any of you here reading this – but I offer my own “prayers”, for whatever they’re worth, in the hopes they’ll add to the ones being offered by everyone else.
And I’ll add some more that Baraka and her family are given the strength to deal with what’s going on.

Salaams dear friends and thank you so much for your support and prayers!
Although the initial diagnosis was a mild stroke, there are some anomalies so they are running more tests and keeping him in the hospital until a definitive diagnosis. We are praying that whatever it is, is resolved quickly and that he returns to full health soon, insh’Allah.
Thank you so very much – it really means a lot to me that you took the time to be here with me. May God bless you all with health and contentment and joy.
Love,
Baraka

as-salam alaykum, baraka
your father, your family and you are in my prayers. may Allah purify your father of his sins, heal him completely and return him to his family. be strong as always.
my nanima had a stroke recently and was in the hospital for several weeks. it was made worse by the fact that, stuck here in the us, i couldn’t go see her. i know that she’s looking forward to our walima in karachi in a few months, inshaAllah, and i desperately want her to meet my wife.
