words of wisdom from a 7 yr. old

I'm sitting in the corner of my room, just sitting there, and I asked my brother who is sitting on my computer, "Amir, I'm sad... what should I do?"

He said, "Do something that makes you happy."

... duh! -smiles-

-smiles-

I think caterpillars are cool. -smiles-

Why are they cool? Because they make me smile!

Why do they make me smile? Because they are cool!

al-Hamdu liLlah for caterpillars.

... I'm sitting with my baby brother right now reading books and looking at caterpillars, life is good, al-Hamdu liLlah, this is happiness.

.. he told me to put while I was typing this, "put Amir is cool."

okay.. so here you go habiby... AMIR IS COOL!

I am going to turn this blog into something for me and my baby brother to share, ya Rab, a purpose -smiles- in sha' Allah.

khayr in sha' Allah

subHan Allah, right now in my life i feel like i am emotionally confused. i guess it's part of the process of adjusting and accepting my fate with certain matters, Allahu a`lam.

May Allah give me the strength to be patient. Amin

i am trying to figure out what to do with this blog... do i keep it? do i remove it? ... what is its purpose?... sigh.

khayr in sha' Allah, khayr.

Jannah in front of me

subHan Allah... Today, when i was walking i thought of something...

What if Jannah was right in front of me?

So, I continued to walk with that in mind, and subHan Allah, it was as if my whole world changed, all I could think about was ~I'm walking towards Jannah~. Some people were playing music, and I thought ~subHan Allah, i'm about to hear Jannah's music~ then of course I saw this lady walking towards me totally exposing herself wearing very little clothing, and subHan Allah, with the thought of Jannah in front of me, she seemed like such a huge distraction, I felt like I wanted her to disappear from my path. It was like, nothing in front of me really mattered, just that goal, even the flowers I always pass by, I thought, ~you are so beautiful, but i'm about to see the flowers of Jannah~. I was filled with happiness inside, filled with this sense of wanting Allah pleased with me, al-Hamdu liLlah I love my life it is so sweet when i think like this, but subHan Allah, i just want to be assured paradise... what an amazing reward, i want it.

Wonderful Child... WONDERFUL... WONDERFUL...

I baby sat a child who listened to everything, EVERYTHING, and not only everything, but he was always so glad to do what I asked of him... [very rare]... In return, when he asked for anything I was at his service 100% !!! 100% !!! because of how well he treated me, anything this child wanted I was ready to do it for him, and gladly, joyfully too! I wanted him to be 200% happy... 300%... i dunno, but ya Allah, oh my Allah, I wish I could have given the child the world for how much I loved him for Allah's sake.. I learned a lesson from him... that's how I want to be, I want to be like that child.. i want to beee.. i want.. sigh...

So what about with Allah with those servants who listen? Who humble their souls into piety, patience, and obedience? When those servants ask of Allah... Allah is the best of those who rewards with goodly rewards. al-Hamdu liLlah, I want to listen, I want to be the best ever... I surrender my emotions and all that I want, I can't get it without Allah's will anyways, so I surrender, and Allah knows best.

words that calm the heart... al-Hamdu liLlah

1) "You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves..." (3:186)

2) "Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as a trial; and to Us you will be returned" (21:35)

3) "Do the people think that they will be left to say, ‘We believe’ and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars" (29:2-3)

4) "And that Allah may purify the Believers [through trials] … Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not yet made evident those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?" (3:141)
