If Prophet Ya'qub didn’t want his son, Sayyiduna Yusuf to tell his brothers about a dream he had because he worried that it would trigger ill feelings in their hearts which would eventually lead to him being harmed - then what should be our case when we display all the gifts Allah has given us? عليهما السلام

Photos of pizza, steaks, burgers and desserts on Snapchat before we even eat. Announcing engagements before things are certain, our best nikah photos, latest baby scans, and our kids looking really cute on insta and Facebook. New job, better body, newer car, more exciting holidays updated on What’s App every few hours. If Prophet Yusuf was advised not to share his dream - what do you think about sharing too much of your dunya? Take precautions, seek Allāh’s protection, and be sensible. It just takes one eye for everything to be destroyed.

Shaykh Mohammad Aslam

“She left me the way people leave a hotel room. A hotel room is a place to be when you are doing something else. Of itself it is of no consequence to one’s major scheme. A hotel room is convenient. But its convenience is limited to the time you need it while you are in that particular town on that particular business; you hope it is comfortable, but prefer, rather, that it be anonymous. It is not, after all, where you live.”

— Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

I love aging, and I think one of the worst lies patriarchy tells women is that aging makes us irrelevant and worthless, that aging is something to be ashamed of. As with everything in patriarchy this lie has a malicious intention, and it runs like a straight line through patriarchy’s stories of wicked witches and scary crones. Aging women, older women are stronger women, more independent women, women who’ve lost their insecurities and who do not live to please, and there’s no bigger threat to the system of male dominance and female subordination. Of course women need to be taught to worship youth and of course older women need to be hidden away under notions of them being irrelevant and pathetic or strange, because otherwise women would be much more difficult to control, and older women would take over the world. The strength women unfold within themselves when they get older is unyielding; it stands tall as a tree and has deep, deep roots. Men have much to loose in women realizing this. Women have everything to gain.

“There are people we meet in life who miss being important to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or a different emotional frame of mind and we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenges or invitation. But as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent or content and they are not. Whatever they are, we are not and vice versa. Two trains going in different directions that pass for a few powerful moments at full speed, blasting noise and wind but then they are gone. Whatever serious chemistry might have been possible if, isn’t.”

— Jonathan Carroll (via bnmxfld)

“The strongest of all arguments against the interference of the public with purely personal conduct, is that when it does interfere, the odds are that it interferes wrongly, and in the wrong place.”
