My Pen and Eraser

February27

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-

    Assalamu 3alaikum sister

    I reached this part of your realistic article:

    “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… ”

    and stopped for a while, thought about it, and realized that these kind of thoughts come to my mind from time to time, and a person really feels like erasing the history, like you said, but more likely deleting it just like deleting the history of the internet explorer browser.

    Al7amdulillah, theres a light of hope (or a candle of hope) inside the mind which says:
    if those things didnt happen, or if you havent met those type of people, would you have reached what you have reached right now?

    then I continued reading your article and sub7an Allah you said the same thing.

    This is the wisdom of the Most High, if someone lived perfectly (which means with less mistakes and smaller ones too) he “might” end up liking himself, and might look down on others, but if a person lived in the mud of mistakes and came out and washed himself with the water of “Tawba”, no matter how high he will reach in knowledge and wisdom he wont do that.

    Because his previous mistakes haunts him and reminds him of how he was and how he ended up, which means that anyone whos lower than him might end up better than him, or he might return back into the mud of mistakes.

    may Allah guide us to whats best for us,
    wa yarzuquna athabat 7atta almamat,

    wa jazaki Allahu khayran
