For You

Can I just say something? I have never in my life… been able to be so happy after I read something. That “something” is every letter of the The Quran. Every quote of the Prophet. It makes me feel warm inside. It makes me smile and cry at the same time.

I feel sorry for those who are denial. Do you not feel it? When you are reading the words from this glorious and perfect book… are you not touched?

I always say, I grew up Muslim but feel as though I am a convert. Why? Because I never REALLY understood this flawless religion. Now that I’m older, I can grasp it, obtain it, touch it, feel it, breath it. I am not breathless, but rather filled with more air than I thought I could handle. It keeps me alive. It brings me sheer happiness. Joy. Bliss. Nobody can do this for me. No human in the world will bring me what my creator has brought me.

I just want to take a moment and be grateful. I want him to know I appreciate all that he’s done for me. For every moment I have felt pain in my life, it was sure as hell worth it now… because look at me. Look at where I am now. I’m telling you, I’m more happy than a baby bird is when her mom has a worm to feed her.. lol. I just want to stare at the sky all day. Embrace it. For Allah is truly the most beautiful artist. Just look at your world. Breath it. Embrace it. Speak to the animals, breathe the air, lay in the grass, swim in the water, just stare… at his creations.

Need inspiration? I highly recommend reading The Quran. May Allah give you what I have right now… which is pure bliss. I am in love. In love with what is waiting for me. In love with what all that he’s created. In love with my heart. In love with the thought of seeing him after death. In love with being able to pray and talk to him.

This is love. TRUE love.

“I asked Allah for strength & Allah gave me difficulties to make me strong, I asked Allah for wisdom & Allah gave me problems to solve, I asked Allah for courage & Allah gave me obstacles to overcome, I asked Allah for love & Allah gave me troubled people to help, I asked Allah for favours & Allah gave me opportunities…. Maybe I recieved nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed.” Alhamdulillah :)

Alhamdulillah :)

When you have a religion, act like you do have it. Telling people your religion and doing things that go against it when you know very well it’s wrong, gives the others a really bad bad name.

Ever wondered why when you’re really sad, you can’t seem to cope with it and therefore you resort to pretty wrong things to get over it? It’s because you aren’t thankful enough, aren’t appreciative enough that’s why.

Ever wondered why when you have everything in the world, things just don’t go right all the time? It’s because of the same exact reason.

Faith, true to every word, is something you truly believe in. Faith is something our parents have in us, but we disappoint them everyday don’t we.

Grow up, it’s not about picking on people’s flaws, it’s really about freaking integrity and moral duty.

When we forgive we may not change the negativity of the past, but we certainly can affect the future in a positive way.

Responding to negativity in such a positive manner is no ordinary matter. Strength of character is required. Allah says in the Qur’an:

“Never can good and bad be equal. Repel the negative with something better, in such a manner that the person between you and whom there was animosity, turns to close friendship; None shall be inclined to this except those who possess the capacity for patient perseverance, and those with tremendous resolve.” [Qur’an 41:34]

Have you ever intentionally (or unintentionally) done something or said something to another person that hurt or angered them? Recall a few of these, particularly the ones that gnaw at your guilty conscience and turn these guilty feelings into growth awareness.

It is not easy for many of us to forgive others, especially if we feel that we have a good reason to be upset. The ability, compassion and wisdom to forgive one another for past wrongs, hurts, and misunderstandings is one of the greatest attributes any of us can possess and exercise. Can you imagine how many marriages and strained family relationships could be healed and restored with love and genuine respect if individuals would truly forgive each other?

We must keep in mind that as much as we need Allah’s forgiveness for our own sins and mistakes, we must also practice forgiveness towards those who do wrong to us. Sayyedna ‘Ali echoed the same sentiments when he asked, How do you expect the mercy of the Most Merciful Who is most merciful to those who show mercy to others?

Remember, Allah is most merciful to those who are merciful to others.

On the authority of Anas, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say:

Allah the Almighty has said: “O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as its.”

Ameen…

We are in many ways products of our life experiences and it is easy to allow some past events to effect our current thoughts and feelings. Negative experiences of the past often gets stuck in our minds due to vengeful thinking, and be aware that thinking in a particular pattern creates a mental path, which directly affects our attitude and our behavior. As long as you hold on to the anger, victimization, and pain, you will have this negative energy locked inside you; affecting you mentally, spiritually, and physically.

This inevitably fans the flames of resentment in a person without actually dealing with the reality of the issue
