“When a scholar chooses desires over Divine Love, Allah veils him from intimate discourse from him, until his heart dies and he does the work of Afterlife seeking the reward of this life” (Ihya Ulum al-Din).
The “life of the heart” is determined by how much one turns to Allah in dua and dhikr. Strong dua is characterized by desperation, intimacy, and constancy.
Dr. Shadee Elmasry
My little cousin says that the other day the fire alarm in their school went off and all the kids got so scared and started screaming ‘the terrorists are here’. This little soul then went on to say, and I felt so bad hearing this, that at that point he thought he’d hide under the table and act dead so they might spare him.
No kid should be having such thoughts at such an age. May Allah ruin the oppressors who have snatched our children and their childhood.
28 years ago from today, a prominent Pashtun independence activist died under house arrest by the Pakistani government. He was buried at his home in Jalalabad, Afghanistan under his wish. His name was Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, popularly known as Bacha Khan, and he spent his life thriving for independence and unification of Pashtuns in Pakistan. He led a movement called Khudai Khidmatgar (’servants of God’), a non-violent opposition against the British Empire in North-West Frontier Province of British India (later annexed in Pakistan). A year before he died, he was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award.
The Bacha Khan University in Charsadda (34 km from Peshawar) was named after this remarkable man, and today, the university prepared to host a poetry recital to commemorate the 28th anniversary of Bacha Khan’s death. The day took a tragic turn when armed terrorists entered the university buildings and opened fire on students and teachers in classrooms and hostels. At least 21 people have been killed and more than 30 have been injured in the attack. Who would have thought that decades after Bacha Khan’s struggle, Pashtuns would still be killed daily?
Time and again, I’m lost for words when such tragic incidents take place, but my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims who lost their precious lives today. May the injured people recover and heal from today’s attack. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Reflections
One of the most tragic realizations one can derive from the atrocities that have occurred in Paris are layered in so many different shreds of heartbreak.
It is without a doubt that the media circus that has engulfed the events that have occurred in Paris has completely brought upon us a new level of erasure towards the factors that have led up to the murders to begin with.
One cannot be policed or admonished for not mourning the dead in Paris, as such death and murder is an almost daily occurrence in the countries and people(s) that have been victimized the most by ISIS, and yet these people have been so dehumanized and forgotten, any news that surround them are treated passingly and even annoyingly by Western readerships.
We have been conditioned to only sympathize with those closest to who we believe our identities are shared with the most, to only mourn those who fit into these personas and we have become a desolate reminder that the world is built on borders and exclusivity and we have been conditioned to fundamentally hate those at the lowest totem pole of our vicious food chain.
The deaths of civilians in Paris is absolutely tragic, and the murder of one innocent soul is equivalent to the murder of the human race as a whole. However, to respond with such paranoia, such Orwellian tactics, and such hatred for the Refugees that have suffered the most from this common enemy is the most baseless and disgusting result of these events.
House those who are less fortunate, for they are directly all of our responsibility.
The exclusivity of Europe and the West must not be heralded as a personal civilizational achievement and it cannot ignore the several centuries of murder and colonialism that has disadvantaged the planet for the sake of a few countries that sit upon this glorified peninsula.
The least you can do is welcome these Refugees with open arms.
If you refuse to leave something wrong for the fear of ‘losing out’ on your happiness, you have doubted in His Power to replace it with something that is much better and comforting for you in this world and the next.

For every one that asked. My sister is still missing. Someone thinks they might have seen her at a local beach but that is about it., and they aren’t sure if it was her. They are still posting flyers in the area. Thank you everyone that reblogged and is praying for my family. Also someone pointed out that the poster didn’t have the number for the Sheriff’s office which is 239-477-1000.
I have never been the type to ask things from strangers. But this is my baby sister and she is missing. I can’t bear the thought of never seeing her or hearing her voice again. If you can share, boost or whatever, please do. I want to see my sister again.
IF ANY OF MY FOLLOWERS LIVE IN FL PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN !!
