قَالَ سَـَٔاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِى مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ ۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُغْرَقِينَ

“He said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." Nuh said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy.“ {11:43}

Allah will test us. Time and time and time again. Some tests may be greater than others. Regardless of its magnitude, every test comes in waves. And in the midst of all the chaos, you’re calling and pleading for help. The waves are crashing over. You look around. You realise there’s no one there.

In that moment, just when you think you’re about to drown, there’s no one around, out of His Love and Mercy, in the distance you will see His ship sailing the sea. Board it. Did you really think Allah would leave you to drown? He heard your cries. As long as you call out to Him, each and every time, He will send His ship enveloping you in His love and saving you until the test settles and the waves die out...

This is for those innocent souls,

The ones that have been forced out those places they've called home,

The ones that have woken screams of 'Ya Raabi! Have Mercy!'

As chaos flows through what was once a beautiful city,

A beautiful city that has been forced to its knees

What happened to humanity? Where is humanity?

When lifeless bodies are left scattered on the streets,

Once a soul with dreams just like you and me,

Aspiring to succeed,

Whether that was to find a cure for the diseases that infects our society,

Or to teach what it means to have compassion, love and mercy,

Only to be shattered in seconds.

What happened to humanity? Where is humanity?

When instead of waking to the beautiful sounds of birds tweeting,

They awake to the sounds of bombs dropping and people fleeing.

What happened to humanity? Where is humanity?

When the children should be flying kites in the sky,

But instead planes fly high, dropping yet another airstrike.

What happened to humanity? Where is humanity?

When they should be wrapping presents for the celebration for Eid,

But instead a mother is wrapping her children in white sheets.

What happened to humanity? Where is humanity?

When a boy is chasing his father down the streets,

In what should of been a game, but instead pain and anguish fills his heart as he watches on helplessly as his father gets carried away.

What happened to humanity? Where is humanity?

When in Al-Aqsa they pray only to have a flame thrown their way,

And on the other side they celebrate.

Are they not listening? Are they not seeing?

While the rest of the world turns a blind eye,

We hear your cries our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

Ya Allah, bring ease to the beautiful city of Falasteen. Bring peace to a land that has yet to experience a single day of peace💔

Allahumma Ameen🤲🏼

One day they shall be free. The beautiful city of Falasteen🇵🇸

اللهم كما بلغتنا نصف شهر ك الفضىل

Oh Allah, just as you’ve let us reach half of your blessed month

بلغنا إكمال عدته وإدراك لىلة القدر

Let us reach the full completion of its numbers and to know the Night of Laylatul Qadr

واكةبنا فىه من عتقانك من عتقانك من النار

And write us in it from your saving of the hellfire

If you want to reflect over yourself as a person ask yourself this one question:

Can you imagine what the people will say about you when they hear about your death? How will they describe you?

If you want, comment your thoughts. I’ll go first!

“In sha’allah taa’laa I hope they say she was soft and gentle in heart. She was patient through everything she went through. She loved her family and worked hard to set an example for her siblings to follow. She was very very smiley and loved all the children she taught as her own and they all loved her equally as their own. She always went out her way to help others and often put others needs before her own.”

What’s the purpose of this? Well, by asking yourself this question, you can identify two things. The first being what is good about your character. Secondly, your character around other people in the way you conduct yourself around others.

If there are any deficiencies, we know what we need to work on to better ourselves in sha’allah! Also, what’s a better time to do it than in this beautiful month of Ramadhan?

May Allah (swt) grant us all a beautiful ending to this life and make us amongst those He is most pleased with!🤲🏼❤️
