As-salaamun alaykum varh beautiful people...
Its been a long long time i have written or even scribbled something, off late a happy nomad am i? Eeehh yeah sort of... so globe trotting, work, hectic schedules! Today it was something that whispered to me!!! Hey Happy Soul, haven't you left something behind? and Yep, "It was the rustling of leaves on a windy autumn day" this beautiful feel wanted to get the rush of all the neurons in my brain suddenly UP!!! It was telling me something, and yes i definitely knew it was my passion 'writing'... i decided that i am going to start writing again...
Life has its own shares of highs and lows, some situations make us and some situations break us, sometimes we cheer and jump with joy on a simple conversation and sometimes a small conversation can be depressing and the whole day no matter how hard we try to keep ourselves occupied but the neurons rush back with a huge gush reminding us the conversation that was a depressing one. Perhaps the matters of heart shouldn't be taken to brain, but all it happens is they just go straight to the brain.
What are these conversations that let us down? I personally feel "Insult" of an individual is the most depressing one...
Let us question ourselves?
"Wouldn't we like others to treat us kindly? Yeah you read it right, everyone on this earth would like the way you’d like to be treated.
About being rude and harsh, Allah swt says "So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]." -Surat Al-Imran: 159
Kindness is the language which the blind can see and the deaf can hear.
Be wary of arrogance. Only the humble can get close to the Almighty and realize that they’re nothing without Him. The minute arrogance takes root in your heart, a barrier forms. A barrier between you & your Creator. Humble yourself for Him and He will raise you.
Allah swt says "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased." -Surat Al-Ar'af: 13
Be humble always. Don’t let arrogance creep into your heart. Respect people around you. Each day, try to make an impact on people who cross your path. Try to be a source of inspiration to others. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.
Some judge others because it gives them a sense of prestige; demeaning others can also create a false sense of security. Remember, people are all different. No two persons are completely alike. Accept these differences & stop judging others. It’s a hurtful & sinful act.
Allah swt clearly mentions "O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers." -Surat Al-Hujurat: 11
Let's fear Allah swt before insulting or throwing insult at our fellow human beings. Islam has always taught us peace, Islam has always taught us patience, persistence, kindness, generosity and much more. Today let's humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness, let's take out time for gratitude that our beautiful religion has taught us.
To Allah, we belong to Him we return, let's be remembered for the beautiful words, beautiful doings and all the good things we did. let's not be remembered otherwise.
My whatsup display picture has this beautiful quote by Imam Al-Ghazali (R) wherein he says:
"Each of your breathe is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and once gone can never be retrieved. Do not be like the deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases while their life shortens. What good is an increase in wealth when life grows even shorter? Therefore be joyous only for an increase in knowledge or in good work, for they are your two companions who will accompany you in your grave when your family, wealth, children and friends stay behind"
Jazakumullahu Khayral Jaza...
