Keep Going

Throw that Pride away..

Every time you see someone and look down upon them, be it in terms of their deen, looks, dressing or even their hijab, remember and think back to yourself- ‘I was also once there before’. Shroud yourself with humility, make a small prayer, and go ahead with gratefulness for being a better person. Being humble is a difficult trait. For knowing that you are humble itself triggers a little pride, doesn’t it?

Being truly humble. It’s an invisible blessing. :)

The Little Bird Now Has Faith..

‘There is that world out there.

That is ready to test me. Neglect me. Taunt me. Push me and Press me. Scorn at me. Sneer at me. Hit me and cease me.’

Clear is the cruel world I see outside my window. Crystal clear.

For two minutes I glared at the sky thinking this ‘immoral’ thought.

Two minutes and then…

A little bird landed on my window sill. It came for the rice grains I dropped a day ago for them that always land at my beautiful window. They will always look for a time when no one’s there. A little activity and they are gone. Frightened, they fly away. But this time, this bird came to me with no fear. I was right there! But it finally sensed the compassion and love I had for it and all of the others. It saw the goodness in me. It knew I cared for it with all my heart. It didn’t fear me anymore. And it looked beautiful.

‘THAT’S IT!’ My mind talked to me. ‘The world may be huge to me, cruel or not. But little does it see the world inside my head!’ Delighted, I quickly realized- It’s not the world, it’s me!! How I perceive what comes to me. As much of love and trust in Allah I have, that much easier and simpler it would be for me to face the trails of this world. Because HE is with me. HE is in my mind, soul and spirit.

We all know that as we grow up, life just gets more and more complicated. We have the perfect moments, the sad moments and moments that never happen yet we want them to.

But on the whole, the most important thing I see and feel really bad is that we don't know how to sense these times in the way it has to be.

When it comes from Him...

A Beautiful Dua I made today and realized how important it was to make this dua. Its by Allah, Alhumdulillah, that He gave me the reminder to ask this-

'Ya Allah, Please let me ask you that which you think is best for me, and not want anything beyond it,please."

"HOW CAN I PRAISE YOU LORD, WHILE PRAISING YOU IS FAVOR WORTH PRAISING?' - Prophet Musa AS

If you are dismal by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

Listen to the words of the Divine, when the words of the heart and mind and soul are differing from each other. In other words, just leave everything to God. When we leave it to God, we are directed by a power that is absolutely good, and that always works for the good. We are opening our lives to the One who knows all things, and can do all things. Anything that is good and great and wonderful may be expected, at such a time. Surely, all our affairs will be taken care of, in the most perfect and most successful manner, when The Highest Power comes into life, into our thoughts, and into our consciousness. There will, indeed, be a great transformation when the Supreme takes charge; when Divine Wisdom becomes our guide and inspiration; when the Great Light shines through. The clouds will pass; illness and weakness will disappear; we shall lack no good thing; and life will become richer and fairer than we ever envisioned before. To be precise, miracles happen. How not, when He is with us?

Live by faith. One day at a time. :)

If you have the song of faith in your heart, it will be heard by the look on your face.

Trust me.
