فا طمة

when someone loves you - really loves you - treat them gently. text your best friend back when you can. tell your mother you noticed her haircut and that she was right about that recipe. tell your grandfather that the boats in his bottles are the best things you’ve ever seen. be good to the people who are good to you. it’s the least you can do.

One thing I want to reflect on is Palestine. What message is Allah trying to send us through this situation? One thing I’m realizing is that there is no true peace in this world. There is such corruption and heartlessness that no joy is complete and all pain is shared. It is only in the next world that true, uncorrupted, guilt free joy can be felt. The innocent Palestinians killed in the genocide undoubtedly hold a special place with Allah. I pray that their loved ones find their faith solidified through the test and are showered with strength and patience. Just a little bit longer. Palestine will be free.
