Assalamu’aikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh dear sahabat
People usually think that when siblings go to court, it must be about inheritance or land disputes. But this true story from Saudi Arabia is completely different and truly moves the heart.
An elderly man named Hizam Al-Ghamdi had to stand in court against his own younger brother. They were not fighting over money; instead, each of them insisted on taking responsibility for caring for their frail, elderly mother.
Hizam argued strongly that he wanted to continue caring for his mother as he had always done, saying that she was his very life. But his younger brother disagreed, believing that Hizam himself was already old and needed rest.
The courtroom became emotional as both brothers pleaded before the judge for the honour of caring for their mother. Unsure of what to decide, the judge brought their mother in and asked her to choose.
Her answer touched everyone—she said she could not choose, because both of her sons were like her left and right eyes. Since the mother could not decide, the judge had to rule based on reason.
The court eventually granted custody to the younger brother due to his younger age and greater strength. When the decision was announced, the atmosphere became sorrowful as Hizam broke down in tears.
He did not cry out of fear or anger, but because he felt he had “lost” the precious opportunity to continue serving his mother in her remaining days.
