"التمسوا الحلاوة في ثلاثة: في الصلاة، وفي الذكر، وفي قراءة القرآن."

"Seek the sweetness of faith in three things: prayer, the remembrance of Allah, and the recitation of the Qur'an."

Because real strength doesn’t come from people —it comes from believing there’s a Creator, greater than all of them, who controls everything with perfect wisdom.

Since I understood that, I stopped living scared or broken. I walk with my head high, even when the world feels against me. It’s not pride — it’s certainty.

Certainty that the One who created me is the only One I stand in awe of.

* Tarzan lives half naked,

* Cinderella comes home at midnight,

* Pinocchio lies all the time,

* Aladdin is the king of thieves,

* Batman drives at 200 mph,

* Romeo and Juliet commit suicide out of love,…

* Harry Potter uses witchcraft,

* Mickey and Minnie are more than just friends

* Sleeping Beauty is lazy,

* Dumbo gets drunk and hallucinates,

* Scooby Doo gives nightmares,

* and Snow White lives with 7 guys.

We shouldn’t be surprised children misbehave, they get it from their storybooks and cartoons which ''we'' provide them...

We should instead be teaching them stories like

*Abu Bakr (ra)’s loyalty and undying service for his master.

*Umar ibn Khatthab (ra)’s love for justice and tolerance,

*Uthman ibn Affan (ra)’s level of shyness and modesty,

*Ali ibn Abi-Talib (ra)’s show of courage and bravery,

*Khalid ibn Waleed (ra)’s desire of combating evil,

*Fatima bint Muhammad (ra)’s love and respect to her father ﷺ,

*Sallahuddin Al-Ayubi (ra)’s conquest of the promised land,

and much much more to tell about…

One night, he saw the Beloved who said, "Bilal you haven't visited us in so long!"

He got up and tirelessly rode until he got to Madinah.

When he made the adhaan on that day after many years, Madinah shook and every man and woman wept in remembrance of the Habib.

When he reached, 'Ash'hadu anna Muhammad... ﷺ' he fell on the floor in tears because couldn't bare to make the adhaan without seeing Rasūlullāh ﷺ.

When Bilaal a.s. was on his deathbed, he said, 'What a day of happiness! Tomorrow I will meet Muhammad ﷺ and his Companions.'

May Allāh sub'haanahu'wa'taala grant us a drop from the ocean of his love....! ( بلال رضي الله عنه ) 📝💕
