A wife kept her late husband's shirt hanging for eight long years... She never took it down.

She always placed money in its pocket. Whenever her children asked for money, she would gently say,

"Take it from your father's pocket."

She did this so that her children would never forget him, so that his presence would always remain in their lives, even in the smallest of moments.

 ‏اللهم إنك عفوا تحب العفو فاعف عني

Transliteration: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annee

Translation: O Allaah; You are The One Who pardons greatly; and You love to pardon; so pardon me.

Hello my dear!!🩷🩷🩷

Thank you so so much for sharing this with us and for trusting my advice!! It means a lot to me!

First of all it’s important for you to understand that every single path is unique, my journey might be completely different from yours and there’s no right or wrong way to get closer to Islam: for us, muslims, Allah is the only creator, the one who decides when and how to show you His truth.

Everything has been written by Allah Himself, so your friend giving you that book about Islam wasn’t just a coincidence: it was written. You reading that book and feeling the need to learn more about Islam wasn’t a coincidence: it was written. Allah is showing you the right path! And there’s nothing greater than this.

I would recommend to take it step by step. The first thing I did was talking to Allah: talk to him, tell him about your feelings, your fears and desires, even tho He already knows everything about you. Talking to Him directly will make you feel closer to his love.

Start learning the history of Islam: you can find endless videos on YouTube about the principles and values of our religion and the beautiful stories of our prophets. Follow muslim people online, so that the content you consume can be related to Islam and help you learn more and more about it. Start reading the Quran, but keep in mind it can be quite hard to approach it and fully understand it at first, so I would suggest starting to read it online, since most websites provide explanations to make it easier to understand.

You will see that once you take a step forward, everything will come together! Step by step!

On my blog you can find many posts, useful YouTube content links and interesting debates about different topics related to Islam, I hope it helps!

Please feel free to dm me whenever you want, there’s no “Silly” or wrong question to ask, I’d be more than happy to have a chat with you and support your journey!🩷

“Do you allow your women to mix with men in the marketplaces? May Allah curse those who have no jealousy (or protective honor).”

‎Imam Shafi’i (رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ) was asked, “What makes a man lose his honour? He replied, ‘Talking too much, exposing people’s secrets and placing [hopes] and trust in every single person.’”
