The story of Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA)...

Image
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." In Arab culture at that time, this statement was known...

Image
And all of a sudden I felt really tired. Tired of loving, tired of caring and tired of trying. It's hard to keep going when the people you love turn against you and drain your heart of all the love, the life and everything else it had. |lsalmabdul

Image
She was beautiful, but not like those girls in magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. -F Scott Fitzgerald

Image
"Some people don't know what they have until it's gone." "But what about the ones who do know? The ones who never took a damn thing for granted? Who tried their hardest to hold on, yet could only look on helplessly while they lost the thing they loved the most. Isn't it so much worse for them?"

Image
People who wait for you to tie your shoe. People who shift closer to you when you're subconsciously moving away while you're walking next to them. People who smile at you as soon as you make eye contact. People who seek you out to tell you some good news. People who listen to you and hear you and understand you. Do not make the mistake of ever convincing yourself that everyone is a bad person when you yourself have done this and not even thought twice about it.

Image
I actually feed on intelligence, I admire people who know alot and think deeply, even a little conversation with them will take you into a new dimension, they not only know about their religion, culture or nation they belong to but their knowledge is so diverse that it gives you whole different perspective to see the world. And they don't keep their mind to themselves but also try to bring the difference in people's live, I admire such people, they are my inspiration. -Mohammad Usama

Image
The thing about being kind these days is that we think a lot before being one. The way this life has pierced our hearts, we are losing the innocence we were born with.But we shouldn't give life back what we never wanted from it, instead we should give it something we have always wanted for ourselves. So that someone, somewhere could feel that way, the way we have always wished to. And don't we live a little through each others life, sharing joys and tears, laughing and crying together, so that it could become a little easier, less painful, somehow bearable. ~Tahseen Anam

Image
It's nice to be told you're beautiful or hot or whatever, but I'd love to hear some say that I make things easier, that they're happy I exist, they don't know what they'd do with out me, I'm strong, that they hope we never lose each other, that they're proud of me, that I have something to offer. Compliments don't always have to be about appearance.

Really just want to live a quiet life with  quiet, genuine, humble people. Not  interested in loud people or dramatic  situations. Just want peace, and the sun,  and tenderness, and warmth.

Nizam Mir Osman Ali and Rolls-Royce story..

Image
He may be best known as the last Nizam of Hyderabad, but Mir Osman Ali Khan had a rather museum-worthy collection of autos. The richest man in the world until he died in 1967, the Nizam was a confessed car obsessive, and to prove it he had the best and rarest luxury autos – particularly Rolls-Royce. It’s said that when Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd refused to sell their car to Mir Osman, Hyderabad’s last ruler bought some old Rolls-Royce cars and used them for garbage collection, which damaged the image of the British luxury automobile maker. The company requested Nizam to stop this practice and began gifting Rolls-Royce cars to him. Eventually, he had 50 of them. The seventh Nizam has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with cars. He possessed the greatest fleet between 1900 and 1967, ranging from luxurious to outlandish. Most of his coveted collection is now scattered across the world, acquired by museums and collectors. His diverse collection included a 1933 Dodge and a priceless Rolls-Royc...

Shab e Meraj - Isra and Miraj. The Miraculous night journey..🌙

Image
On the night of 27th Rajab, year 621, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took a journey across the heavens that would come to be known as Isra and Miraj ('The Night Journey'). This was a physical journey (not a metaphorical), with important spiritual elements. Travelling on the back of white beast, horse-like, called Burak (which can mean 'lightning' or 'bright'), the Prophet (pbuh) visited first "the further mosque". "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing." Quran, 17:1 Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) himself described this extraordinary experience in the following words: "Then Jibreel (Gabriel) brought a horse (Burak) to me, which resembled lightning in swiftness and lustre, was of clear white colour, medium in size, smaller than a mule and taller than a (donkey), quick in movement that it put its fee...

Image
I have long embraced that I feel things so very deeply. Love, as if my heart would burst. Sorrow, as many agonizing deaths. Joy, as though the moon were in my arms or the entire galaxy in my chest.  And so I know, that my immortal soul is far greater than my mortal body. And perhaps, when I have returned to my forgotten home, I'll look back at this world and say that was one helluva ride. ~Suhaib Rumi

Be the person who cares...

Be the person who cares. Be the person who makes an effort, who loves without hesitation. Be the person who makes people feel seen. There is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn't always been kind to them. ~Bianca Sparacino

It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you've accepted that someone is out of your life, that you've grieved and it's over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you've lost that person all over again. -Rachel Hawkins, Demongla

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

Image
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 matt...

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy because you understand them, and they do not understand you.
