Islam

💎🗝️ One of the mistakes many practising Muslims make after Allah blesses them with guidance is that they forget their own past.

They forget the sins they used to commit.
They forget the years they spent in heedlessness.

They forget the countless reminders they heard but turned away from.

They forget how long it took for the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah to truly reach their hearts.

Then, all of a sudden, they expect everyone around them to change overnight.

A brother finds guidance today and becomes upset that his father still does not pray in the congregation, despite being reminded for a few weeks. Or that he has not yet grown a beard.

A sister starts practising and becomes frustrated that her mother is still falling short in her Hijab or struggling to leave certain habits behind.

They speak harshly.

They become impatient.

They look down upon the very people who loved them, raised them, fed them, and carried them through life.

But stop and think for a moment.

How many years did Allah give you before you changed?

How many reminders did you hear before your heart softened?

How many chances did Allah give you before you finally turned back to Him?

If Allah had dealt with us according to what we deserved, where would we be today?

Guidance is not a reason to become arrogant.

It is a reason to become more humble.

Because every righteous person knows that had Allah not guided them, they would still be lost.

Allah said:

﴿وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ مَا زَكَىٰ مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَبَدًا﴾

"Had it not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been purified." (Qur'an 24:21)

When it comes to our parents, Allah did not merely command us to call them to the truth.

He commanded us to accompany them with kindness:

﴿وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا﴾

"And keep company with them in this world with kindness." (Qur'an 31:15)

Never let your commitment to the Qur'an and Sunnah make you forget the patience Allah showed you before you found your way back to Him.

The people around you may simply be at a different stage of the same journey.

Treat them with the patience, mercy, and gentleness that you once needed yourself.

And never look down upon someone who is struggling with something Allah has already helped you overcome.

The only reason you stand where you stand today is because Allah guided you.

Not because you had more Taqwa.
Not because there was something special about you.
Not because you deserved guidance.

Only because Allah was merciful to you.

I've decided to leave this matter unless I obtain the original Discord chats themselves.

You find women today and they talk about age and they are really strict, my question is this, does love know age?

Is it okay to say this?

● Changes her home.
● Leaves her family.
● Moves in with you.
● Builds a home with you.
● Gets pregnant, the pregnancy changes her body.
● She gains weight
● Almost gives up in the labour room due to the unbearable pain of child birth..
● Even the kids she delivers bear your name.

Until the day she dies, everything she does like cooking, cleaning your house, taking care of your parents, bringing up your children, earning, advising you, ensuring you can be relaxed, maintaining all family relations, everything that benefits you sometimes at the cost of her own health, hobbies and beauty.

So who is really doing whom a favour?

Dear men, appreciate the women in your lives always, because it is not easy to be a woman. Being a woman is priceless. 💛
