| I am having surgery on my back tomorrow so if you all could please keep me in your prayers and dua'a I would greatly appreciate it! I will be in the hospital for two or more days and then on bed rest for at least 2 weeks so Inshallah Allah will heal me quickly, and I have a fast recovery! Jazakallahkhair! | | |
| Bismillah al rahman al rahim
IN The name of Allah, the COMPASSIONATE, the MERCIFUL…
Every surah of the Holy Quran except one starts with this phrase. Rahman (compassionate) and Rahim (merciful) are two of the most beautiful of Allah’s names, and the Prophet sallahu allahi wassallam was said to be the kindest of all men and his eyes would brim with tears at the slightest sign of inhumanity. Where has all our compassion and mercy gone? Why is it that someone that has a tender heart is referred to as over emotional? Have we really become so cold and hardened that the injustices of the world around us don’t fill our hearts with sorrow, and our eyes with tears? When did we become so unmoved? We can watch endless amounts of violence on TV, in the news and on the big screen and remain so unaffected. We hear about our brothers and sister suffering and we don’t think twice. I remember growing up my father would always tell me that I was too tender hearted, I wore my heart on my sleeve and I needed to toughen up… I would quickly reply that it wasn’t that my heart was too tender, but just that this world had become so cold! Although that was years ago now, long before I was Muslim, it recently crossed my mind as I heard some guys giving another guy a hard time because he was moved and cried during prayer. Compassion, empathy, mercy, these are qualities that should be brimming over in the lives of the Muslim population! Where have they gone? Are we really that susceptible to the standards the secular world has implemented that we have abandoned these qualities all together? And who was it that said real men don’t cry? The Prophet sallahu allahi wassalam cried, and he was the best man to ever live! My opinion, a real man can show his emotions, can even shed a tear, or fully cry! What is it that we as Muslims measure ourselves against? The standards this society has implemented? Or the standards that Allah has set! I encourage you, brothers and sisters, to follow your heart a little more and everything else a little less. Care, really care about others, no matter if they are related or friends or not. Watch and see what a difference it may make in someone else’s life, and maybe even your own! Ya Allah, break our hearts, strengthen our Iman and make us whole in You! Help us to be the kind of Muslims that you want us to be! Allah, heal the hurts, and sorrows of the world around us, and remind us to say Al7amdillah, because we are so blessed! | | |
| Sub7anallah, how gracious Allah is to us… Sometimes, when we are in the deepest times of need, the most hurtful times, the most discouraging times; when we faithfully make supplications to Him, He is so faithful to answer our requests! Sometimes, it is in the form of a sign, or coming across a reading that lifts our spirits, or an easing of our heart and sometimes, it is in the form of an angel better known as a friend! We all have people that come in and out of our lives, some we call acquaintances, some we call friends, and some are like angels, making a lasting impact on our lives! Leaving imprints on the deepest parts of our hearts! We are always looking around us, searching for miracles, for signs, but so often they are right in front of our faces! The beautiful sunsets, amazing stars in the sky, and the beauty all around you everywhere you look and most importantly the friends that are there to lift your spirits, make you smile, hold your hand when your hurting, encourage you when your down, remind you of the right thing to do when your struggling, and hold you tight when your enveloped in sorrow! These, my friends are your signs!
I have realized lately that there are people in my life that are like my guardian angels, some may know they mean that much to me, and some have no idea how much they impact me! The courage and strength, abounding optimism and strong iman of some of my friends sometimes just takes my breath away! When I feel like the world is against me, when I feel discouraged for whatever may be going wrong in my life, I think of these few and I smile! I lift my head back in the air and put a smile on my face, and I make supplications for me and my needs, and for those amazingly wonderful people! We often forget that despite the trials in our lives, there are people that are going through the same and a million times worse!
I have often ranted about how hard it is for me to understand the mistakes we make as Muslims, and I realize, that we are all imperfect, and that I am far from perfect! I realized though the importance of drawing strength from one another. Counting on each other… I think back to what it would’ve been like in the times of Prophet Muhammad SWA, how the Ummah had to ban together, putting aside differences in race, notoriety and wealth, and be the only thing that matter, slaves of Allah! Why has it become so hard for us to do that? What has changed that has caused us to be so judgmental, so full of distrust, having so much disdain for our brothers and sisters in Islam? Can this, will this ever change? What can we do to make a difference within ourselves, and in the world?
I think it starts by being a good friend! To all of my friends, the old ones, and the new, never forget how much I love and appreciate you. Please know that you are always in my prayers, and remember me in yours. Please don’t ever take me for granted or hurt me because that is the last thing I would do to you! Know that no matter what is going on in your life or mine, if you every need me, I am here, no matter what it is you need! Whether it be days, weeks, months or even years don’t think that I ever will forget about you because I won’t. Don’t ever think that you can’t call me if you need someone because you can! No matter what happens in your life, all the things that are unclear and unreliable, know that you have a constant companion in me!
Ya Allah, bless my friends, you know them each by name and you know their every individual need, want, and desire. You know there struggles, and I pray that you take that out of their life. I pray that you bless them all with happiness, love and long lives. Ya Allah, I pray that you help me to be the best friend and Muslim that I can be, and I pray that you do the same for the people I call friends. Ameen!

They are flying me out, paying for all my living expenses and I make a pretty good salary with paid holidays and Two months vacation in the summer for which they give you a free plance ticket home. So anyway, thats that. I have brand new furniture I need to sell, A red micro fiber suede couch and love seat, a chest, a wood computer desk, a coffee table, and also a desk top computer.
