Your best friend is the one that will tell you what you are doing is wrong. You know when people love you when they’re telling you “you’re slippin’ homie” Someone who tells you you’re good when you’re actually bad is actually your enemy.

No matter how hard it is, what has happened in the past, or what you’ve been through, put your heart in the hands of Allah, so that one day insha’Allah He will put it in the hands of a man who He knows deserves it.

Sometimes when we are hurting ourselves and not able to stop, Allah out of His infinite mercy, takes the source of hurt away from us. But we are a lot like children playing with a knife. We don’t care that the knife is cutting us, and could even kill us. So we cry when its taken away.

Ponder and Reflect: Letter from a Muslim Man to the Woman he loves...
very profound…speechless in fact! love it!
If you love me, don’t confess your love to me through haraam ways. This won’t please me and will instead drive me away! Love games don’t attract me. If you love me, have sabr and I will knock on your door when the time is right. Don’t give me privileges which I don’t deserve. Keep me away from you, and I will approach you. If you approach me, I will stay away from you. Don’t love me, for I want you ignorant in love. I want to teach you love when the right time comes and when you will be mine, only when we are joined together to our Creator’s satisfaction. Don’t tell me what you feel, don’t give me from your time, don’t push me to lose you. I am a man who does not want to see the one he loves committing sins or to live a forbidden love behind her family’s back. I don’t want her to feel guilty and don’t want her heart to suffer. Put me under limits that I won’t cross, kill me inside you so I won’t grow to kill you inside me. Preserve what is beautiful inside you. I want you innocent, chaste, pure. I want you my love, but with Allaah’s blessings and not shaytan’s whisperings. And then, only then, I will face everything and will be ready to go through difficulties to get you. Don’t be easy because then, I may not value you. Don’t love me now, so I won’t hate you! My heart wants you and doesn’t want to lose you. I don’t want you to be just a passing fancy for me. I want you a wife, a lover, the mother of my children. I want you to be the one I will spend my whole life with. How could I be a faithful man to you when I try to break your chastity? How would I be faithful to you if I push you to betray your family? How could I trust a love which grew under Allaah’s wrath? To make you mine through niqah is Islaam’s way. Till then wait patiently and do not dismay. To love you means to protect you, to love you is to bring you closer to Allaah and His Deen, to preserve you and not to kill what is beautiful inside you. Your husband-to-be, Insha’Allaah

If you see that one of you has slipped, correct him, pray for him and do not help Shaytan against him (by insulting him)

”
What can my enemies do to me? My Paradise is in my heart;
What can my enemies do to me? My Paradise is in my heart;
it goes with me wherever I am.
If they kill me, it is martyrdom.
If they exile me from my land, it is a vacation in the Path of Allah.
If they imprison me, it is to allow me a private devotion with Allah.

“In our view, a person does not have an understanding of the religion until he thinks of a hardship as being a blessing, and a comfort and luxury as being a hardship.”

Indeed God does test those whom He loves and He tests in proportion to the level of faith. But so too does God send His Divine assistance whereby any test can be made easy and any fire can be made cool. So too can Allah send His Divine assistance whereby a single glimpse of His light and the home with Him can make us smile—even in the midst of the flames of trial.

Islamic Thinking: Nourishment
A Masjid goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to mosque every Friday.
“I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them….
