If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and itd dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

DAILY DUA

Remembrance after finishing the witr prayer

سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ

سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوس

سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوس ، رَبِّ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ

Translation

After giving salam (of the witr prayer) he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would supplicate:

How far from imperfections The King, The Holy One is.

How far from imperfections The King, The Holy One is.

…on the third time he would raise his voice, elongate it and add:

How far from imperfections The King, The Holy One is. Lord of the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Jibreel).

A caged bird thinks flying is bad.

If you’re trying to imply that an abaya is a woman’s cage (because I can’t see any other relation this comment has to an abaya blog.. apologies if I assumed incorrectly, feel free to correct me..) then know this; a woman’s freedom is not in her lack of clothes, covering more doesn’t make you more oppressed and stripping doesn’t bring freedom. A woman’s freedom lies in her state of mind, her character, her manners, the state of her heart, and her deen. Just. Like. A. Man.

Let me make break this down for you.

If men and women walked around naked and that was the norm, men would be remembered for their character and women for their beauty.

Decades and generations have gone by and nothing has changed, the fascination in a woman’s body, the objectification and the sexualisation to the extent we put almost naked women in car shows, entertainment shows, adverts - to sell a product or programme - the obsession with a woman’s curves/shape is real. In fact, with the likes of instagram, Kim K wannabes and a music industry that endorses the figure of a woman more than anything else on the planet, it’s actually getting worse. With industries that are constantly selling women their fake idea of beauty and how a woman’s face/hair/skin/body needs to be, the pressure is real, it’s everywhere. A woman covering her beauty is such a statement that no one can pressure her into what beauty is or what it should be (and no I don’t believe that a woman should be pressured to cover either, it is a choice, there is never any benefit in force) but know that Islam takes this pressure off women. The abaya takes away from the objectification and sexualisation of a woman’s body, and it doesn’t get more feminist than that, my dear friend. I’d say especially in this day and age, but we never changed.

[al-italiyyah-deactivated2023011]

I mean, anon.. I’d like you to consider the fact that there are women who converted to Islam and chose to wear an abaya (like me) everyday, or even niqab (face veil)… And we used to dress with short tight clothing before Islam, some used to be models, singers, actresses, dancers, some led a normal life, but we all know what it means to live without Islam.

And that’s exactly why we love this religion so much. ♡

So your argument is kind of not valid here

[purplebuddhaquotes]

A meaningful life is not being rich, being popular, being highly educated or being perfect… It is about being real, being humble, being strong and being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. It is only then that we could have a full happy and contented life.

[m-khadija]

When I have a daughter, I will teach her  to love the Qur'an the way my mama loves it. She sits with it three times a day and radiates the house with its light when she wakes up to recite it at 3.30 in the morning. She fills her heart with it when grieving and tightens her grip around it when the ground shakes so hard under her feet. I will teach my daughter that my mama taught me that patience and persistence are the keys to build a lifelong meaningful companionship with the Qur'an. If there’s only one thing I could wish for my daughter, I’d want her to love the Qur'an like my mama loves it because her bones itch with discomfort, her mind screams with dissatisfaction, and her heart beats with longing if she goes a day without her lifelong companion.

When ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) was walking in the market, he passed by a man who was supplicating,

اللهم اجعلني من القليل اللهم اجعلني من القليل

“O Allah, make me from the few! O Allah make me from the few!”

So ‘Umar said to him, “Where did you get this du`a’ (supplication) from?” And the man said,

“Allah in His Book says:

وَقَليلٌ مِن عِبادِيَ الشَّكورُ

‘And few of My servants are grateful.’ [Saba’:13]”

So ‘Umar wept and admonished himself, “The people are more knowledgeable than you, O Umar! O Allah make us from Your ‘few’ servants.”

Sometimes when you advise someone to leave a sin, they respond with “But everybody does it, it’s not just me!” But if you look for the words “most people” in the Qur’an, you will find that most people -

ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون “And however most people do not know” [7:187];

ولكن أكثرهم لا يشكرون - “and most people do not show gratitude” [2:243]; and

و لكن اكثر الناس لا يؤمنون “And most people do not believe” [11: 17].

And if you look for “most of them”, you will find:

وَأَنَّ أَكثَرَكُم فاسِقونَ - “defiantly disobedient” [5 :59];

و لكن أكثرهم يجهلون - “ ignorant” [6:111]; and

بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون الحق فهم معرضون - “turning away” [21:24].

So be of the “few”, whom Allah says about them:

وَقَليلٌ مِن عِبادِيَ الشَّكورُ - “And *few* of My servants are grateful.” [Saba’:13]; and

وَما آمَنَ مَعَهُ إِلّا قَليلٌ - “But none had believed with him, except a *few*.” [11:40]

في جنات النعيم ثلة من الاولين و قليل من الآخرين - “In the Gardens of Bliss: many from the past and a *few* from later generations.” (Al-Waqi'ah:12-14)

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said, “Go on the path of truth and do not feel lonely because there are few who take that path, and beware of the path of falsehood and do not be deceived by the vastness of the perishers.”

When the human organism is discharging its negative experience efficiently, the mind is empty of past or future concerns; there is no worry, anticipation, or regret. This means that the mind is left open to Being, the simplest state of awareness.

[animayanaa]

Sometimes God separates you from a lot of people so you can grow in solitude.

[faramosh]

always choose to be with someone who is emotionally intelligent. don’t get caught up in the fact that you are loved, because love comes easy. but loving someone in the way they need, and understanding why they need to be loved like that is what a relationship is about.

If they ask you, “Why are you sad?”

“Except for good”

[storiesofthesahabah]

Have you ever experienced that moment of crying so much because you missed the feeling of making sujood to Allah? Have you ever experienced that moment when you raise your hands for takbeerat and your tears just come running down just because you feel something inside you feels so much ease? Have you ever experienced being so lost that you almost lost hope but with one salah standing in salah, you’ve been recharged with imaan like never before? Have you ever missed praying and calling upon Allah that reading this makes you sob and cry already? Oh slave of Allah, this is your imaan telling you to come back to Allah. Indeed, it just takes one heartbeat to remember Allah.  So what are you waiting for? Go Pray.  ______ Have you ever wondered how the Sahabah felt when they testified the Shahada the first time in their lives? How they’ve finally found true guidance after years of misguidance? Every day we are called back with every Adhan, when will we answer? Come back. Pray again. Allah awaits for you.
