﷽

so simple. so obvious. yet so many of us forget. when you have a problem that you’re struggling with, when something seems impossible, “tell Allah.” simply tell Him. whether it’s mentally, out loud, or in a duaa, tell Him, because He will hear you. after all, He is the All-Seeing, the All-Hearing.

there’s nothing more comforting and peaceful than knowing that you’ve done all you can and that you’ve left it in the hands of Allah. in the hands of the One who lets the air reach your lungs and the One who created Heaven and Hell. because surely He is the only one whom you can count on to never let you down, the one you can count on to give you the best outcome no matter what happens.

wow.

suffering from loss. surrounded by grief. displaced from homes and living in tents when they were once in homes with food and beds. minds full of turmoil from the horrors that never seem to end.

and yet, while living through all of the above, over 500 Palestinian children were able to memorize the Quran by heart this Ramadan.

what else can we be but ashamed and in awe? what’s our excuse for not doing the same while we have shelter and food and safety?

i have no clue.

may Allah protect them all and grant them safety and peace and the highest levels of Jannah. and may He forgive us and guide those of us for struggling to do the same, ameen.

He is the only One who will never abandon you. the One who will never shame you for your mistakes. the One and the only One who will keep forgiving you, over and over, even after you keep sinning, even after you keep making the same mistake - so long as you go back to Him and repent.

what more do we need? what more could we want than a Creator who is always with you? always there for you? who makes things forbidden for you because they’ll break your heart? whose names include the All-Loving, the All-Forgiving, and the Most Merciful?

we couldn’t need anything more. because if you have Him, you have everything.

they’ve resorted to eating grass.

just like they’ve resorted to making bread out of animal feed.

grass and animal feed, two things that are fed to animals. and Palestinians are now eating them almost as if they’re not human beings.

because if they don’t eat grass or animal feed, they won’t be human anymore. they’ll be dead. from starvation if not by bombs.

because they aren’t considered humans, right? at least not in the eyes of Westerners, because for them Palestinians’ dignity and lives and basic needs aren’t important because they’re not white in color.

be thankful you have food in your stomach and aren’t out there scavenging for grass and animal feed.

May God grant them all the highest levels of Paradise, and may He make it easy for them. and may God forgive us for all the times we’ve taken food and clean water for granted.

How can you be displeased when you have a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in and food to put in your mouth?

How can you be displeased when there are people right now, this second, suffering in Palestine and still thanking their Lord for their blessings?

If you wanted to, you could find the positive in everything. If you tried, you would find out that you have countless of things to be grateful for. if people who are being mutated and who are having everyone they’ve ever known either dead and injured and can still be grateful, surely you can do the same.

say alhamdulillah for the things you have before Allah takes them away from you- or even worse, you’re held accountable for them on the Day of Judgement.
