One of The Best Sights

I had a good time enjoying the sight of my husband holding our youngest child -- so effortless like only a strong, protective father could do. I could not help smiling the whole time we had that conversation, me lying down on the bed and him standing tall with the 1-year old on his arm.

The Gift of Islam

A few weeks ago I listened to the radio, an interview with a Muslim convert. MashaAllah.. how difficult it was for him in his search for The One God even when signs were right around him. He was a very religious, devoted Hindu. He mentioned how much he loved God and how the concept of many Gods bothered him. Parts of Hindu scriptures mentioned this One God but of course over the centuries the concept was distorted.

He tried Christianity and if I am not mistaken, some other religions too, except Islam, even though he had lots of Muslim friends. Then a string of events (that seemed coincidental to us, but of course was part of Allah's Plan) finally led him to this "whole new world" of The Truth.

What struck me the most was the fact that the majority local born Muslims failed to show what Islam is and what the non-Muslims are missing! The guy was at one point in his journey very angry at us for this disappointment. I agree.

Now he is a full-time daie, alhamdulillah.

And how many Muslims themselves do not really believe? How many of us do not love Islam? How many of us are always trying to be other than Islamic? Astaghfirullah.

Thank you Allah for the gift of Islam.

Oh Allah..

Al-Wadud, Al-Haqq, Al-Wahid -- keep us in The Right Path

Al-Ghaffur -- forgive us of all of our sins and weaknesses

Al-Rashid -- keep us guided

Amin!

ALHAMDULILLAH.

The Beauty of Allah's Perfect Creation

I was marvelling at the beauty of Allah's perfect creation this morning and the overwhelming feeling of gratitute filled my heart. MashaAllah...

THANK GOD

This may sound unkind, but I am very very glad that I do not have to deal with certain person as much as I would have to had I -----. Thank you Allah. After the experience where Allah showed me some of the true colors of another person, it is almost no-brainer. I know I am not capable to take the responsibilities nor am I appreciated for the hard work let alone be rewarded for the effort especially when I lose my patience and sincerity in the process. There would be no joy either so nothing to cherish in lieu of the work and stress and resentment.

An incident yesterday was another reminder to me. Alhamdulillah thank you Allah for not testing me in that particular aspect.

Call me a quitter, but as they say.. Once bitten twice shy.
