Peace Be Upon You

"Here, stall after stall of Afghan souvenirs- handmade carpets, woven pashmina, turbans, clothing, jewellery, boxes, and belts of the extraordinary native blue lapis, and the hand carved dark wood furniture from Nuristan, that she loved"~ (The little Coffee shop of Kabul.)

“My father, may Allāh سبحانه وتعالى give him a long life full of deeds, always said a golden quote, he mentioned it decades and decades ago. He said,

“Properly raise your child on Tawheed and Deen and manners, from around the ages of 7 to 9, because the knot you tie in those years will not untie nor loosen after that.”

They’re critical years in influencing a child anyway you wish, and for us, it’s to set a Tawheed foundation, especially in this country, and mainly in the West overall. What’s instilled in their minds in these years is quickly absorbed because the brain grows fast in these years, and what they’re taught in those years becomes, most of the time, like what’s carved in stone.”

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله)

❝ We always complain that we are not able to fulfil our Islamic duties because we have work. People before used to work in their farms or markets from Fajr until Maghrib. Nevertheless, they still made جihāد, and they still made Qiyam, read Qur'ān, memorised it and they learned.

Allah put barakah in their time because they had true intentions. Have Taqwā and Allāh will teach you. Allāh will provide knowledge for you. ❞

"Why does the thought of dying scare us?"

Because we’ve made this world our main focus, forgetting that it's only temporary. Even though we know life constantly changes, we still hold on to it as if it’s our forever home.

If we were to reflect, we’d understand that this life is just a stop on our journey to the real destination that awaits us. So, when everything around us is temporary, how can our worries, sadness, tears, joy, and laughter be any different? They too are part of this world’s fleeting nature.

Put your trust in Allaah. Know that He has planned the best life for you. Your current situation is not the end. Our true home isn’t here.

Trust in Allaah and keep going forward. Remember, after every dark night, a new day begins. Keep your faith strong.

‎Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎"If you knew the true value of yourself, you would never allow yourself to be humiliated by committing sins.

Sadness, grief, pain, suffering, calamities, and trials are expiations for sins. Nothing afflicts a servant, not even a thorn prick, without it being an expiation for their sins.

If someone complains of a toothache or insomnia at night, these too are means of expiating sins.

If something afflicts you : do not say, 'If only I had done this or that.'

‎Instead say;

‎قدر الله وما شاء فعل

'This is the decree of Allāh, and what He wills will happen.'

Ya Allah,

Protect the honour of our parents.

Keep them covered with respect, kindness and integrity.

Fill their hearts with ease and remove their difficulties.

For they have done more than enough for us,

And we can never repay them.

Having an emotionally mature partner is TOP TIER. You're able to express yourself freely and openly. They don’t insult you. They don't give you the silent treatment. They don't become aggressive or manipulative. They listen, they respond—they patiently hold a safe space for you.
