Manners

In order to obtain respect, one must show respect. Doesn't matter what the situation is, or how a person behaves. One should always act in a respectful, dignified manner in order to be taken seriously. The louder one screams, the farther one isolates. Empty vessels make the most sound. Be silent, thoughtful, and in control of your emotions. Let true thought of love, compassion, and generosity flourish. May this practice bring one wisdom. May it bring one Greater Understanding.

Ya Rab.

Life goes on

And Life goes on... Death a reminder to ourselves that we too will face our Creator. InshAllah we live everyday being the best that we're capable of. Spread love..And as Life goes on, remember that these days are merely a footstep,a stepping stone to Greater awakening. This life within' this dunya is nothing compared to the Life within' Jannah. InshAllah we make these days worth while... If you got drama in your life, make right and let go.

Make it right.

Lifes too short

Life's too short to sweat the small stuff.. Life's too short to let ego and error get in the way of having good relationships with the ones you love, are closest to or wish to become closer with. In the end is the anger, spitefulness, resentment & so on really worth it?? Whether we realize it or not, our thoughts & actions towards others internalize. We have more control over our own happiness and relationships than we realize. Positivity and change starts inside. Nurture the love you have and aspire to have with others and feel it grow within' yourself. InshAllah

In Him

A bundle of emotions..
Some of which seek light..
And perhaps a few wish to remain as they are,
Shadows within'...

Emotion
One word, but has no bounds

Good and the bad...

Sincerely grateful to You my Creator,
for instilling inside of me these signs

Yes, sometimes these emotions may feel overbearing
And you feel at a loss..
Imperfect we are and sometimes we cave into ourselves.

Emotions
Whether to restrain or let them loose?
How to make sense of them when there is a storm brewing inside?

These are reminders to ourselves..
To turn to Him
Love Him
And be Grateful to Him

In Him Is the answer.

A fine line

There is a fine line between fighting for your country & fighting for the rights and freedoms of the people that live there. Don't let nationalism and extreme patriotism over ride all sense and neglect the rights and freedoms of your neighbors , regardless where they're from. I hope people stop and think. Ya Rab.

Free

The chaos of this dunya feels like it will never cease to end.
But oh.. All will come to an end.
An end to the pain and strife of this life, dear dunya.
Where all are held accountable for every good/bad action or lack of.
So when I see the rubbish that is rubbed in our faces every single day...

This truth is what sets me free.



A.S.

Change starts within' ourselves.

Sometimes vision of Right is blinded by our egos.A certainty within' isn't necessarily enough to be set in stone as reality,when subconsciously we could very well be protecting and justifying one's own interest.

Step back from ego and the hunger for more, more, and more. And in all seriousness give ourselves a personal critique. Maybe our view is a bit skewed, maybe not all facts/variables are within' our perspective. Lets take a moment to realize that maybe, MAYBE our judgment could be wrong because of this.

Lets try to take another look at ourselves and try to the best of our capabilities to stop,  LISTEN and not hear what we want to hear to justify a false judgment or need.

Lets truly listen and with that I mean understand the intention and feeling behind the words, since words are just words and we more often then not, fail to convey or listen outside of ourselves. The same applies towards our actions.

Lets simply NOT judge a person based on ourselves and not entirely of what we THINK we know.

Fact is we DON'T know or understand everything, for as much as we'd like to believe we are capable of doing so.


Keep an open mind. Don't think the worst of others or false judge them.

BE positive. BE a change within' yourself.
