To cage one's own heart willingly...

I hear a kind of sorrow in that idea, someone so attuned to others that they disappear from their own care. Here’s a poem around that feeling: There lives a soul who reads the ache In trembling smiles that others fake, Who hears the grief in laughter’s sound, And kneels where silent wounds are found. A keeper of unspoken fears, A witness soft to hidden tears, They gather storms from weary skies And hold them gently, asking, “Why?” How strange, how pitiful the art, To know each fracture of a heart, Yet turn no lantern to one’s own, And make of sorrow flesh and bone. For they will calm another’s sea, Whilst drowning where none care to see; Will stitch the wounds on stranger’s skin, Yet leave their own to ache within. They understand too much, perhaps, The grief between affection’s gaps, The trembling guilt, the sharpened shame, The quiet hurt with no true name. And so they bend, and so they stay, To light the dark in others’ way; Till kindness, noble though it seems, Consumes the keeper ...

Cats in Islam💖🥀

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was fond of cats🐱🐾


Prophet Muhammad ﷺ being the messenger of Allah SWT and a role model for the mankind was very Compassionate person and he taught Muslims to love animals and show a compassionate behaviour towards them, Try not to disturb anyone sleeping even though if it is an animal.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ fondness for cats is conveyed in his hadith: "Affection for cats is part of faith" (Maqasid al-Hasanah, al-Sakhawi). So, loving a cat is a sign that someone is a believer. When Prophet Muhammad came across a black-and-white Abyssinian cat breastfeeding her kitten during the Uhud campaign, he changed the course of his soldiers. On his way back he adopted this cat and gave her the name "Muezza." One day, he slightly tipped his cup so that a cat passing by could drink some water.
And loved his cat muezza.🖤

Verily, there is heavenly reward for every act of kindness done to a living animal.🥀
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "A good deed done to an animal is like a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as cruelty to a human being."💕

The Messenger of Allah said: A woman was punished in hell because of a cat which she had confined until it dead.
She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of earth. 💕
-Bhukhari and Muslim

“Cats don’t invalidate the prayer Bcz they’re the one of the things that are useful in the house.”🥀
- Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Narrated by Abu Hurairah; Ibn Majah:369.

A companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was given the name Abu Hurairah, which means "father of cats." Abu Hurairah was given this name because wherever he went, he always had a cat with him. It is even said among the people that Prophet Muhammad stroked the back of a cat for strangling a snake that was about to harm someone and that is why cats land on four feet and not on their backs.
