my parents have not-great urdu so in almost every urdu test/exam my teacher would circle certain words like “this is not Urdu” when it was straight up normal urdu we spoke at home thinking it’s actual urdu. I’d ask my grandparents if the word I wrote was urdu and they’d innocently say “yes of course it is” because they didn’t know any better either. my fake urdu goes back generations, at least op got the facts from their parents lmaooo

We also had dreams until we found tawhīd. Then we said: “Let the dunyā be theirs and the ākhirah be ours.”

It’s important to realize that no matter how good you are to people, it won’t make them good to you. Whatever you do, do it for the sake of Allah, not for the sake of being reciprocated.
