‏سلامنا على من يختارون ‏كلماتهم خشية ‏أن يجرح أحدا

peace be upon those who handpick their words, for fear of hurting anyone

zohran heard “new york i love you but you’re bringing me down” and was like ‘yeh let’s fix that’

My heart is aching because i made the decision to deny myself a final hug and kiss and cuddle with my nephew because i refused to cry in front of the family. This is what they mean when they say don’t let fear dictate your life

he doesn’t know it but his little giggles heal something inside me that has long been broken

his little fingers reaching for mine bring forth a warmth that my ice cold hands have long forgotten

his head laying on my shoulder, “giving me love,” awkens my slumbering soul and brings new life to my heart

he doesn’t know it, but he has colored in my grey world with hues i could never have fathomed before him

‏رأيت رجال يضربون نساءهم

‏فشلت يميني يوم أضرب زينب

‏أأضربها من غير ذنب أتت به

‏فما ‏العدل مني ضرب من ليس مذنبا

‏زينب شمس والنساء كواكب

‏إذا طلعت الشمس لم تبدأ الكواكب

I see men hitting their wives.

May my hand be paralyzed the day I hit Zainab.

Will I harm her for a sin she doesn’t commit?

Where is my justice if I hit one that does no wrong?

For Zainab is the sun, and all other women are stars.

When the sun rises, you can’t see the stars.

Palestine is valid.

Palestine is home.

Palestine is strong.

Palestine will be free.

i’m convinced that women are the sun and men are the moon

we provide the light and they reflect it onto the world

“how do u know love is real?”

because if it wasn’t, i wouldn’t still be here

[thehalalgirlofficial]

i looked to man to ease the overwhelming wave of grief rising inside of me and found no refuge. then, with the courage of a woman who has known the depths of pain and has nowhere left to turn, i set my gaze upon the skies, and cried a bloodcurdling cry, one that only God himself can respond to. yet, no heavenly being came for me that night and my tears swept me into the light of the next morning. and, gazing upon the rising sun, i recognized that this was God’s reply

I looked to my own capabilities and become hopeless

then I turned to God’s infinite power and found faith

[thehalalgirlofficial]

i feel so cutely aware of… everything

of my own perspective, naturally, but also those of the ones around me

to feel this much, it must be unnatural

to carry empathy for everyone i’ll ever meet

is this the epitome of the human condition because surely i feel afflicted

﷽

What is عَافِيَة?

*a short yet powerful prayer*

Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:

“Ya Rasulullah ﷺ, teach me a du’a.”

The Prophet ( ﷺ) said:

“O my uncle, say:

اللهم اني اسئلك العافية

*ALLAHUMMA INNI AS’ ALUKA AL’AFIYAH*

(O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).

now, what is Afiyah?

Afiyah means –

● To be saved from any afflictions, you are in afiyah.

● To be healthy, you are in afiyah.

● To have enough money, you are in afiyah.

● To live, you are in afiyah.

● To have your children protected, you are in afiyah.

●And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah.

So basically, Afiyah means:

*“O Allah, protect me from all pain and suffering.”*

This includes both dun’ya and akhirah.

Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):

Ya Rasulullah, this du’a seems a little short. I want something longer.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

*“My dear uncle, ask Allah for Afiyah for Wallahi, you cannot be given anything better than afiyah.”*

It is a simple du’a.

Sincerely mean what you say while praying.

“O Allah, I ask You to be saved from any:

distress,

grief,

hardship,

harm, and

don’t test me, etc.”

All of this is included in

*“Allahumma inni as’aluka al’afiyah”*

(Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi).

-

Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) said : “Convey from me, even if it is one verse.”

May ALLAH ﷻ accept all our prayers Ameen.
