Can you imagine life with an eraser, in which every time you make a mistake in life you would pick up your eraser and simply wipe it off? Or if it was like your computer screen, in which whenever you make a mistake you can simply erase it by click on “delete”. Unfortunately, life isn’t like that. Anything we do shall remain in our memories and thoughts, it shall haunt us every where we go.. Of course Allah knows what is best for us and probably by wiping off your mistakes easily, you may not learn from them.. However, sometimes there are some things which you wish deeply that you can erase from your history, people whom you wish never existed in your life and sins which make you feel ashamed whenever you remember… I sometimes wish that i can pick up a pencil and start drawing my past in a more decent way, but when i think of it.. Without my mistakes in the past i would not be who i am now. Not that i do not do mistakes now, but at least i have learnt alot from my past, and i have started to appreciate being a Muslim…
It is not easy to overcome your mistakes and sins, and i assure you that not only you and I suffer from this but also other Muslims. But we should remember that Allah knows what’s best for us. We do not know what our future hides and we do not know what Allah has planned for us. All what we know is that we should learn from our mistakes in the past and avoid walking in the same unpleasant path…
We need to gain our strengths and not let Satan make us say “if only i could erase my past” because by saying that we shall encourage Satan to overpower us.. 

All what i am trying to say is that what’s done is done, whether we like it or not.. Now we should start to focus on improving our life by getting closer and closer to Allah and following the Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet – Peace Be Upon Him-

The hardest thing to go through in life, is when you are obliged to say goodbye to the one’s you love. Even if the good bye isnt forever, but still just by saying it you find yourself drowned by your tears and surrounded by sadness. You start realizing that a crucial part in you shall vanish or shall drift away from you after holding on to it very tightly. But when you come to think of it again, you ask yourself “what about those who leave their loved one’s to battle for islam?” or “those innocent people who have been killed and their families were forced to say good bye to them?”
how do you expect them to feel when they say good bye?
Many people tell you that you should be strong, yet you find yourself no matter how strong you try to be a tiny part in your heart remains vulnerable then this tiny part overpowers your heart and you find yourself fully weak.
Although not all goodbye’s mean death, or a negative separation. Some good bye’s could mean “see you next weekend” or “see you after the vacation”. However because of how close a person is to you, you refuse to give them up and let fate join you back again.

This is just a reminder to us all, that someday sometime we may lose a close person either voluntary or involuntary so we should seize every moment we spend with them..

 May Allah forgive all Muslims
