[anotheraldin]

What's the most difficult hike you've been on? Like the trails, inclination etc

I gifted my Bosnian friend a jilbab and the white teacher (this is denmark) asked if she was white somali coz we're known for it here. The ignorance loool😭

Salaam!

She was being very messy here man. Shoutout to you for being a good friend to the Bosnian homie tho 🫡

[anotheraldin]

So I knew that her glance had said:

“Welcome, and greetings to the love-stricken beloved.”

I returned my gaze toward her in greeting,

and addressed her plainly and without ambiguity.

I know well that whenever remembrance of you stirs,

tears choke my speech and restrain my tongue.

And I know that a visitation befits one such as you,

despite your harshness and sternness toward me.

I suffer on account of my love, as though I myself invented it,

though lovers had mastered this love long before the tribe of Jurhum.

-ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿah’s Diwan

Why does he keep postponing? He postpones only because he finds himself unable to subdue his passions now. And if he is waiting for a day in which subduing them becomes easy, then that day simply does not exist.

Such a person is like a man who wishes to uproot a tree, yet finds himself unable to do so because of his own weakness and the strength of the roots. Thus, he delays the task until the following year, ‎knowing that with each passing day the tree grows more deeply rooted, while his own strength grows ever more deficient. And that is the very pinnacle of ignorance.

-Al-Arbaʿīn fī Uṣūl al-Dīn by Imam Ghazali.

[anotheraldin]

“One of life’s sweetest pleasures is to sit with a kindred soul—one you cherish, feel at home with, and find yourself in accord with in so many things.

Then, in conversation, you are not compelled to meticulously order your thoughts, nor to cloak your words with countless exceptions and digressions for fear of being misunderstood.

Instead, you speak the heart’s confessions just as they arise. It is a soul whose honor and nobility you trust, certain that it would never draw water for you from the well of your grief.”

[anotheraldin]

As for the nobility of restraint, it consists in abandoning quarrels, reproach, excessive demands, and contentious argumentation; overlooking deficiencies in what people owe you of your rights; refraining from exacting every last due; overlooking people’s slips and faults; and making them feel that you are unaware of any failing on their part.

-Madārij al-Sālikīn by Imam Ibn Qayyim.

[anotheraldin]

“I love those who journey toward God—each in their own way, each worshipping Him through that which their soul overflows with.

One does so through love for people, another through generosity, another through a smile, another through faith, and another through a wholesome way of living.

I love those who look upon life through an entirely divine perspective, seeking the Face of God in every movement and every moment of stillness.”

[anotheraldin]

O Allah, have mercy on me. You are the One who ordains, while I am the one afflicted by what is ordained; such is Your power, and such is my frailty.

-Mustafa Ṣādiq al-Rāfiʿī.

[anotheraldin]

Do you order clothes online or shop normally? And how do you make sure the clothes acc fit you if its order?

Salaam!

A bit of both tbh. We have a good mix here of stores that carry Japanese heritage wear and street wear. That’s a good bit of my current aesthetic. Sometimes the Japanese proxy sites are the better buy, bit risky as you can’t return it.

That’s the last fit picture I took, you can kinda tell what I mean by heavier cotton if you look at the shirt, it’s usually about 8 ounces or more which gives it a very pleasant feel to wear. I bought most of that online.

[wetheurban]

May people leave your presence feeling more like themselves.

[anotheraldin]

To be a source of coolness man.

[anotheraldin]

“Praise be to God, who brings comfort and delight to the eyes, mends broken hearts, sees what lies within our innermost souls, and answers prayers.*

Praise be to God, who shows us His wisdom, the greatness of His giving, His generosity, His grace, and His power in the details of our days.

Praise be to God—glorified is He—whom nothing in the earth or in the heavens can ever overpower or render incapable.”

[anotheraldin]

I walked a whole block myself the other day. I know it doesnt sound like much but after relearning to walk its one of my greatest achievements alhamdullilah.

Salaam!

Hell yeah brother!!

May Allah make it easy for you and may you truly have the ability to do whatever brings your heart joy homie ❤️❤️

[anotheraldin]

Who do you think will take this final?

Salaam!

Argentina man.

[anotheraldin]

Do you ever wear polyester?

Salaam!

I can’t say that I have tbh. Mainly just wear cotton, usually a heavier cotton.
