Halaqa last week

Halaqa was breath taking last week! There were many excellent stories but the one stood out for me was the story about Zainabs (the daughter of the prophet of Allah) husband. Abu Laabs was traveling on a caravan and the caravan was attack and all their wealth were taking away by Abu Basir. Abu Basir is a Meccan who runs away from Mecca to accept Islam but then because of the treaty of Hudibiyaa the meccans send two guards to bring Abu basir. The prophet agreed and told him to have patience. On the way to mecca Abu basir kills one of the guards and the other guard comes running back to the prophet. Abu basir followed him back to medina and the prophet told him that he cannot break the treaty and protected the guards life. Therefore Abu Basir went and started to roam the desert and kept on building up support of other run away meccans who accepted islam. So back to the main story when Abu Basir looted the caravan everyone told Abu laabs to go and ask for their property back because he is the son in law of the prophet (even though he wasn't Muslim). Abu Laabs came to the prophet and ask for the stolen wealth. The prophet went and spoked to Abu Basir and he gave the wealth to Abu Laabs. Abu laabs went back to the caravan and man I love this part ot the story. He asks the caravan is all your wealth and propertyreturnedd to you they replied yes than Abu labbs says their is none worthy of worship except for Allah and that Muhammad peace be upon him is his last and final messenger. Abu laabs told the people of the caravan that I would've acceptd Islam once I return to the prophet and saw his actions but I didn't want you to say the reason why he accepted Islam was to take your property but now I have returned all your property I am returning to the prophet of Allah.

A Visit to the Hospital

Today after school my sister and her freinds went to go visit a 5 year old girl who just had surgery.I had to go as a chapperone for the sisters like usual.Actually at first i was like "oh my god I have to babysit my sister again!"Now i am very glad that i went because it made be realize how much I take for granted my good health. When i was their we saw what i think was a girl who was burnt from head to toe. Ya Allah! when i saw this person i didn't know what to do i stood frozen, my heart felt like someone had stuck a knife through it. I felt so sorry for that person who had gone through such trauma.

I never ever thought of being in such a situation till today.Seeing that person made be realise that Allah can do the same thing to me any time.After i left the hospital all these questions ran through my head.

Would I have patience?
Would i keep my faith strong?
Would I ask myself why has this happened to me?

I need to change myself.I truly need to love Allah and his messenger more than myself.Than if Allah snatches my good health. i would not turn back on Allah instead i would recognized that it is a test from Allah and that i will recieve reward in the afterlife for my patience and struggle. That little girl make du'aa for her.Her name is Ayan and mashallah her courage I love that girl. AND MAY ALLAH GIVE HER FAMILY AND HER PATIENTS AND REWARD

Hijab

When I walk through the hallways of ainly and see the muslim sisters with hijab it uplifts my spirit it makes me feel proud. That the sisters are not following the states quo but they are following their beautiful religon. That they don't listen to anyone except for Allah almighty. The sisters who wear the hijab and are proud of it THANK you because you sisters give me hope for this genereation for this Ummah that it will truly prevail like that prophet (SAW) said.

But those sister who take of their sheild (hijab) it hurts . I feel that i did something wrong. That i should've maybe told her good job or something i should've done something.

I just dont understand why would they take their hijab off. Is it because they would be a target in society? Is it because of peer pressure ? I dont know how the sister feels when she is a walking da wah. I dont know.

That is why i am trying to grow a beard to understand what my fellow sister are going through.Why are my sisters taking off their armour in a society? where women are their to please the mens desire why should a girl be used as an object!
that is why islam tells the women before you step out of your house put on your armour your Hijab

A word of advice from your muslim brother to all my fellow sisters; DO NOT WEAR THE HIJAB FOR YOUR PARENTS. FOR MARRIAGE BUT ONLY FOR ALLAH. SISTERS UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE TO WEAR THE HIJAB BECAUSE THEN WHEN YOU WEAR YOU HIJAB YOU WILL WALK THROUGH THE STREETS WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH AND IF ANYONE ASKS YOU WHATS IS THAT THING ON YOU HEAD ANSWER THEM WITH WISDOM.
