We started having second thoughts about the surgery and that was difficult. We consulted few other doctors during this time and all of them gave green lights for the surgery. As hubby was 'seemingly' healthy at that time, we feared that the surgery might leave him in a worse condition.
We prayed Salat-al-Istikhara(a special prayer) and sought Allah's Counsel. We started noticing conditions favoring towards the surgery.
“Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allaah verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find rest” [Quran 13:28]
All thanks to Allah for helping us get past those days with ease. Hubby informed his work regarding the surgery and the medical leave. And we sat waiting for the appointment.
