As a little child, when you used to receive your report card and find out that you got high grades, you would run as fast as you could to spread out the news so that everyone around you would congratulate you and share your joy. Even now, as we grow older, this is still within us. The more you share your happy news with people the more you feel happy. However, as a child when you go back home with good grades and no one seems to care, this situation would de-motivate you and would easily tear out the happiness in your heart. Instead of you celebrating your good achievement, you would feel upset because no one cared to share your happiness and joy. I don’t know why sometimes, the people close to you become so “cold” emotionally, specially when they know that their happiness places a crucial role in your life. What even hurts the most is when people who aren’t so close to you are the ones who are truly happy for you. As Muslim brothers and sisters, we should always share the happiness and joy of each other. specially when we know that our happiness for them would put a BIG smile on their face. No matter what the situation was, you should still be happy for your friend as long as they aren’t doing something that Allah has forbidden.. 

If you would like people to be happy for you, then be happy for people.. As our Prophet - Peace Be Upon Him – mentioned: 

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه خادم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : ( لايؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه ) ، رواه البخاري و مسلم . 

I would like to congratulate my friends for their wedding ^_^  May Allah bless you with a happy life after marriage.. Ameen

Nothing in life remains unchanged, everything around you changes, whether it has a slight or huge change.. The path you follow, the people you are with, the life you live and the ones you care about.. It all changes because “change” lies within each and everything that is on earth.. change is a word that all people fear.. because we don’t what the consequences would be.. Yet we accept it sometimes because we have no other choice..

The changes we go through life may be hard for us to accept, yet the only choice we have is to accept it and be obedient to Allah because Allah himself knows what’s best for us…

May all the changes we go through be for our benefit.. Ameen

I’m sure you have all heard about the hurricane Gonu that has destroyed a lot of houses, cars and lands in Oman and some places in UAE. SubhanAllah, many years ago, we believed that the Middle East was a safe region. We were free from earthquakes, free from hurricanes and free from many things. Unfortunately now after many events we realized that we are no longer safe and this is one of the signs of the hours. 

We should learn from the catastrophe’s that are occurring in the Middle East, because all this could be a warning from Allah. Yet, unfortunately not all people learn, some people consider it as an “enjoyment” or an “opportunity” to live such event. 

Those people who have been hurt, dead or lost their homes don’t find this entertaining. Instead they suffer from great loss. We should take this catastrophe as a warning sign and should strive harder to win a higher rank in Paradise. 

We don’t know whether Gonu was a blessing from Allah or was a punishment, for Allah himself knows. But all what we can do is consider it as a notification that life will end shortly… but when will it end, Allah himself knows. 

May Allah have mercy on those who suffered from the hurricane.
