Aisha descends to the underworld

Aisha descends to the underworld in "Aisha Descends to the Underworld" a philosophical addition that Buthaina Al Issa wanted to indicate the relationship of correlation between life and death, and the worldly and the hereafter, in a different perspective towards time. It is the story of a mother who lost her son and wanted to keep his memory alive after he died a tragic death. There is nothing more painful than losing a loved one, and nothing more dreadful than the gradual decay of their memory, especially if death was drowning and before her eyes. After her child's tragic death, the mother refuses to accept the idea of life after him, so she decides to descend to the underworld through writing. On her way to entering the underworld, she must pass through seven gates, and now she is crossing the seventh gate. At the threshold of the final departure, she sees nothingness flashing, shining, and absorbing her soul. However, there is a condition for entering this world: she must shed her open wound – her son and his memory. Can the mother be outside this wound? "Oh Aisha (the laws of the underworld have been carefully and perfectly crafted, so do not discuss, Aisha, the rituals of the underworld). Your son is your pain, your pain is you. The wound now has your face, your name, and the panting of your breaths. The one who looks at you does not know where your wound begins or where your scream ends. You cling to the ropes of your tears as if your salvation. You are shrouded in your eternal sorrow and pain the world with your suffering. The universe cannot be your victim, Aisha. Shed your wound, kiss it between your eyes, and release it, free it, seal its image, and allow it to depart."
