Its a strange concept, for the mind to comprehend
but the heart beats strong and aches with no amend
Missing Him, with every beat
Craving his presence through every defeat
Tears pour down, for this Beloved Soul
I want you near me now, before I lose control
The Man who helped those in need
the Man who, [...]
Rocks hold firm while water’s might
Sends pebbles rolling left and right.
Call pebbles rock? Set firm their goal?
First flash flood, still pebbles roll.
Not name, nor goal divide the two.
It’s how they act. It’s what they do.
Size dictates to stone, but you’re in control.
Are you rock or pebble? Will you hold or roll?

“When a child has a tantrum and cries for chocolates and sweets, a mother will not give in. She knows what is more beneficial for her child and will only give that.
At that time, not giving chocolates and sweets is what is best for the child.
Similarly, when we cry and beg Allah [...]
It was just one of those days that make you want to crawl back into bed, put your covers over your head, and sleep until things just fix themselves. But I crawled out of bed, got dressed and moved on with my life. Why? Why didn’t I just sulk in my unhappy state? Because I [...]
Bismillah,
One of my favorite pieces of advice:
Imam Ibn al-Jawzi said:
“Know, that days are but hours, and hours are but breaths, and every soul is a container, hence let not any breath pass without any benefit,
such as on the Day of Judgment you find an empty container and feel regret!
Be aware of every hour and how [...]
I want to change the world–with my own two hands
Grab hold of all the problems and erase them from all the lands
I want to go wipe the tears off of every girls cheek
Find a way to brighten up–every persons week
Make sure everyone feels loved, and no ones left behind
Teach the oppressors and transgressors how to [...]
There is a hadeeth, by the Prophet alayhis-salaam, which speaks of the believer. The Prophet says that the believer is like a bee. But the issue is how? How can we BE like BEES? why would we WANT to be like bees?
A bee does not work only for itself. A bee truly wants for its [...]

I know that some people say that this beard, or this niqab are “just a shell,” an outer covering, and by “shell” they mean something of no value. Ok, I’ll suppose that it’s just a shell, but I want to ask a question, a question which I know the answer to and which everybody on the face of the earth will answer just as I do: “Have you ever seen a core exist without a shell?”
I mean, a banana – could a banana ever be this way without its peel? An orange, an ear of corn, a grain of rice, a grain of barley, anything? A tree, with its bark, could the tree ever exist without a shell? This is something nobody would claim, there could never be a core without a shell.
So the few hairs on the face that people belittle, this is what covers the heart. And I have tragic stories I could tell. I’ll tell you one, without delving into the details, because it really doesn’t deserve it, but this is one of the things I’ve come across….

I’m saying that this beard, it isn’t just a bunch of hair on a man’s face – it’s a covering for the heart, to protect the heart.
