Choose yourself, not once, not twice...

Please don't ever abandon  yourself again.  Especially not in the name of trying to be validated by a temporary connection.  Stop holding on to things that don't demonstrate respect for your value. Start investing in things that remind you of your worth.  You deserve so much more.  And don’t shrink yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant to hold your light.  Stop explaining your worth to those committed to misunderstanding you. Silence can be dignity too. Choose yourself, not once, not twice, but every single time it feels uncomfortable to do so. Let go without guilt, walk away without fear, and trust that what’s truly yours will never require you to abandon who you are. Grow into someone who feels like home to their own soul. Because at the end of it all,  the longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one you build with yourself.

Women should not be sad.

Imagine moonlight whispering secrets to a flower bowed by dew. That's the tenderness in Allah's words to women in the Quran:  " Do not be sad ."  These aren't just words; they are luminous embraces meant to soothe the soul. See how gently He speaks:  "So that her eyes may find coolness and she would not grieve." (Al-Qasas)  It's like a soft hand wiping away tears.  Again,  " That their eyes may find comfort and they may not grieve." (Al-Ahzab)  A promise of solace. Even in moments of great trial,  "Do not grieve," (Maryam) a whisper of hope.  And again, a double blessing: "Do not fear and do not grieve." (Al-Qasas) Why this repeated tenderness? Because Allah, in His infinite wisdom, understands that a woman's sorrow resonates deeply. It's not a fleeting shadow, but a storm that can shake her very core, dimming her light, weakening her strength, and stealing her peace. He sees the delicate architecture of her hear...

I peered into Jannah and saw that the majority...

RasoolAllahﷺ farmate hain:  "Maine Jannat mein jhank kar dekha to Jannatiyon mein ziyadati gareebon ki nazar aayi, aur maine Dozakh mein jhank kar dekha to Dozakiyon mein kasrat avraton ki nazar aayi." Ye hadees humein do aham baatein samjhati hai:  1. Jannat mein Ghareebon ki Aksariyat   Nabi Kareemﷺ ne jab Jannat mein jhank kar dekha to wahan zyadatar ghareeb log the. Iska ye matlab nahi ke sirf ghareeb log Jannat mein jayenge, balki iska maqsad ye hai ke jo log duniya mein tangdasti aur mushkilat ke bawajood Allah ka shukr karte hain, sabr se kaam lete hain, aur apni zindagi deen ke mutabiq guzarte hain, unka ajar Jannat hai.  Islam mein ameer hona buri baat nahi, lekin ameer log jab maal ka ghamand karte hain, Allah ki ibadat se door hote hain, ya gareebon ki madad nahi karte, to unke liye musibat hoti hai. Isliye, aksar gareeb log sabr aur shukr ki wajah Se Jannat mein zyada honge.  2. Jahannam mein Auraton ki Kasrat  Is hadees ka ye matlab nahi hai ke...

Women, they have minds, and they have souls...

"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for." - Jo March, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
