۱۱:۱۱

May we find peace in the simplest of things, for it is greater than the world upon us.

I trained myself to find the blessing in everything

عندما أخرج الله من الظلمة إلى النور

When He brought be out of darkness into the light

تلاشت كل مشاكلي في رعاية الله

All my troubles faded away in the care of Allah

حتى شعرت بالسلام في ذهني وقلبي

Until I felt peace in my mind and heart

Abdullah ibn Amr reported:

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the spirits of two believers will meet throughout the day, even if they do not see each other.”

Our parents are often misunderstood

When mom comes and sits in your room, she isn’t invading your personal space. Sometimes, she’s just trying to escape her own thoughts.

When dad wakes you up early in the morning and takes you to buy groceries, he is just trying to bond with you, in his own way.

Every time mom asks you, “what are you smiling at?” when you are using your phone, she isn’t being nosy. She just wants to be a part of your life, because the two of you barely talk anymore.

Every time dad asks, “where are you going?”, I know it feels like an investigation, but I suppose, he just wants to know. We often share our live location with our friends, but how often do we share it with our parents?

You know, mom doesn’t hate ‘outside food’, she hates that she had cooked food for you, but you ordered instead. and when she cooks your favourite meal, all she hopes to hear you say is, ‘it’s tasty.’

Dad will say things like, “I earn for you all”, but grunt if you buy books or more clothes. Dads are weird that way, but I suppose, he just wants you to spend wisely. Growing up, he has struggled, and he understands the value of money.

I know, I know, there’s a generation gap, but let’s not forget, while we are growing up, they are growing older, too. They are humans, too, and just like us, our parents can feel lonely and are misunderstood.

I guess, all that we can do is listen to them.

„It shows that out of the 1.8 Billion Muslims in the World,

It’s the Cleaner who has the privilege to pray in front of Ka‘abah right now.“
