I Love You...is This Not Enough??

The life we have is a reflection of our actions. Our actions are a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. If you want to change your life work on changing yourself. POINT BLANK. What you plan on doing doesn’t mean shit if you’re not doing something about it NOW. TODAY. Doesn’t matter how slow you go or how little you do as long as you show up EVERY DAY.

At this point, it's absurd to call Hamas anything but a resistance group that fights fair. We have seen thousands of videos and images of the idf killing, mocking, torturing and abusing Palestinian men, women and children in the most creative of ways. I have yet to see that from Hamas. Whoever condemns Hamas also condemns their right to self defence.

Hamas are made up mostly of orphans, orphaned by the hands of the idf. These people have every right to be angry, to resist living in an open air prison and being persecuted every day while the world sides with their oppressors. You'd be lying if you said you wouldn't be too, and yet they are not the ones indiscriminately killing civilians.

I'm tired of hearing 'I don't condone it but I can't blame them'. Stop beating around the bush and admit that you too would take up arms to defend yourself and your loved ones in the face of a brutal and unending occupation. Being passive doesn't bring about peace, it only allows ease in your destruction. Their rights, which were and have been taken by force for almost 80 years, can only be returned by force. That's a right none of us should speak against unless we're willingly giving up that right for ourselves.

Ya Allāh (ﷻ) grant me the strength to battle laziness and sleep, so I may wake up for Tahajjud and Fajr daily.

Allahﷻ defended you in battles that you didn't know existed?

[Q]: How long should a person seek knowledge?

['Abdullah Ibn al - Mubarak]:

[Jami’ Bayan al-‘Ilm wa Fadlih, 428]

Listen, O Liberty, and harken unto us. Turn your gaze towards us, O mother of the earth’s inhabitants. For we are not the offspring of your rival. Speak with the tongue of any one of us; for from one spark the draw straw catches fire. Awaken the sound of your wings the spirit of one of our men; for from one cloud one lightning flash illuminates valley-lanes and mountain- tops. Disperse with your resolve these dark clouds. Descend as a thunderbolt. Destroy like a catapult the props of those thrones erected on bones and skulls; plated with the gold of taxes and bribery; soaked in blood and tears. Listen to us, O Liberty. Have compassion on us, O Daughter of Athens. Rescue us, O Sister of Rome. Save us, O Companion of Moses. Come to our aid, O beloved of Mohammad. Teach us, O bride of Jesus. Strengthen our hearts that we may live; or strengthen the arms of our enemies against us that we may wither, perish and find peace. - Khalil Gibran

Ibn Mas’ūd (radiAllahu anhu) said:

Do not befriend except one who assists you in the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah.

الزهد لأبي داود (١/١٢٦)

There is no one coming from the stars to brighten your darkness, be the light.
