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.

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.

It takes a man

It takes a man to control his temper
And to speak with ease.
It takes a man to humble himself to those around him
It takes a man to sacrifice every last penny
Even when he is hungry..

Don't be the judge of me

You don't have to believe in me.
I'll stay true to my core..
Secrets held with no door.
Except its essence they may catch for but a moment.
They can't and won't be the judge of me
Except The All Knowing, The All Seeing, The Most Just, The Most Compassionate
Those to just name a few.
This is all I need to live my life faithfully..truly
Leaving my need for acceptance, acknowledgment and reward with Him..
Allah the Only One that fully understands me..
The Only One my heart desires.

A.S.
