It's Rare .

[SAFAH]

It's rare to come across souls who truly understand you.

Someone who can understand your pain, share your problems with, share your feelings with.

Someone who can heal your wounds. And as humans, when we come across someone who does, who does make us feel better; we tend to rely on them to make us happy.

We get attached. We see it as if, as if, we need them in our lives. How long will som...eone keep making you feel better?

How long can actually someone keep listening to your problems without getting annoyed? Be a shoulder for you to cry on? days, weeks, months, even years .. but eventually they will leave.

Leaving us in even more pain than we once were in. Even when relying on worldly things, we will never be satisfied and will always have a restless heart ..

If you were wise you'd learn from this, that relying on anything but Allah for inner peace, for happiness .. will always give us pain.

We may not have a soul to talk to, who can understand us .. but what we do have, is prayer .. you may not have a shoulder to cry on, but you'll always have the ground to put your forehead on and cry to your hearts content.

If you want to talk to Allah, just sit there, just sit there on the prayer mat, talk to Him about everything. Share everything with Him. Hes all ears.

Cause He is your Best Friend. He's seen you cry. He's seen you going to sleep and not wanting to wake up again. He's seen you struggling. He's seen you wanting to give up. He's been there with you throughout every battle you've ever fought.

He understands you. And He'll never give up on you .. never. Even if the whole world turns against you, He will still be there. With open arms.

To help you. To guide you. To ease your pain. To heal your wounds. To love you.

Cause He is your Creator. And No one can understand you better than the One who created you. And Only when you love Him, you will feel His love for you. Alhamdulillah!

[SAFAH]

Whenever you are faced with the burden of a difficulty, lighten it by remembering three things:
1. That it is only temporary. Nothing in this life is forever. Neither your happiness nor your pain. It will soon come to pass.
2. That it has been predestined. Nothing you think you could or could not have done would have avoided it. It was meant to get to u. It is all part of a bigger & better plan for you.
3. Thirdly, seek comfort in the fact that if you bear this with acceptance and patience then you will be rewarded greatly for the suffering you are enduring.. Allahu Akbar!

A true friend is one who shares your joy

And one who is with you in times of uncertainty.

It is one who wipes your tears away in grief

And who cares for you sincerely.

 

It is one who never turns away from you,

And bears all your faults patiently.

It is one who reveals to others what is favourable to you,

And conceals your bad side protectively.

 

It is one who is extremely generous and kind,

But will rebuke you gently when necessary.

It is one who helps you up when you slip and fall,

 and holds on to you till you walk steadily.

 

A friend you could rely on for everything,

On whom, night and day, you could turn to trustingly.

Can anyone be such a friend,

One who, despite your faults, always looks on lovingly and compassionately?

 

We search for such a friend far and wide,

constantly and endlessly,

But if only we look carefully, we would find one closer to us than our jugular vein,

One who will be there for us eternally!

Beautiful reminder, masha'Allah. JazakAllah khayran sisters.

[SAFAH]

Beautiful patience is to be content with adversity
Beautiful patience is to surrender to the will of Allah
Beautiful patience is to refrain from complaining
Beautiful patience is to be grateful
Indeed, as beautiful as Prophet Yusuf (as)patience in facing all the test that Allah send down .
