The Story of Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA): The Woman Allah Heard from the Heavens Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA) wasn’t a warrior on the battlefield nor a leader of armies, but her voice changed the course of divine law, and her plea was heard not just by the Prophet ﷺ, but by Allah Himself. ●Who Was Khawlah bint Thalabah? Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA) was a noble woman of the Ansar, married to Aws ibn al-Samit, the brother of the famous companion Ubadah ibn al-Samit. She was known for her intelligence, strength of character, and deep faith in Allah. Despite living in a society that gave little voice to women, Khawlah (RA) would not remain silent when faced with injustice—and because of her courage, Allah revealed verses in her defence that are recited to this day. ○The Incident of Zihār One day, in the heat of an argument, Khawlah's husband Aws ibn al-Samit angrily said to her: > "You are to me like the back of my mother."

The year of letting go...2̶0̶2̶2̶. 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯✨️



The year of letting go, of understanding loss, grace of the word 'no' and also being able to say 'you are not kind'. The year of humanity/humility, when the whole world couldn't get out of bed. Everyone I've met this year, says the same thing 'you are so easy to be around', how do you do that?' the year I broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. The year I learnt small talk and how to smile at strangers, the year I understood that I am my best when I reach out, the year of sugar, everywhere softness, sweetness. honey. 
The year of being alone, and learning how much I like it, the year of hugging people I don't know, because I want to know them, the year I made peace and love, right here.

I hope you learn to prioritize the people who
bring you peace. The people who mirror the
same length of love as you give others. The
people who stand by your side - not in every
moment but rather in the moments that matter
the most. The people who matter the most. The
people who have the capacity to understand
the very depths of your soul. I hope you learn to prioritize the people who choose you..

Never regret the kindness you showed somebody who didn't deserve it. They did you wrong, you did them right and for that, you should be proud.

Never allow anyone or anything to alter your self-worth. Never allow any insult to bother you or shake you. Never allow any frustration or humiliation or attack to change how you value yourself.

•Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage.
