ameen!

Something we all should remember, to see the bigger picture, remember our purpose and to live like a traveler <3

Jazakallah for the sister who shared this on her Facebook, may Allah bless you and be rewarded for this beautiful pictorial :)

Islam compares backbiting to cannibalism

When I say backbiting, What comes to mind?

When I first heard the word "backbite" first thing come to mind was gossiping. More or less, it is what it is.

Backbiting is saying something he/she dislikes regardless whether it is true or not with or without his presence. Backbiting can be done even without even saying a single word BECAUSE your facial expression or even your body language can express what you think about a person, simply shrugging,rolling your eyes or "making face" just the mention of a person's name, shows how your truly feel about them and we know how Allah feels when his servants backbites..........

"Would you love, that you would eat the flesh of your brother?" 

The one who is listening to someone backbites. Both would be eating the flesh of their brother. 

3 things we should remember before speaking:

1. If you know you're going to speak evil of someone, don't say anything.
2. If you have something good to say about someone/something (i.e the weather or etc) and that will benefit both parties(or more), go ahead.
3. If you're not sure, having doubt whether it will benefit you or not, don't say anything.

What is not considered backbiting?

Whatever bring goodness is not backbiting, be watchful and control your tongue, protect the right of others :) Allah knows our intentions. 

"Who is your companion?"

"Who is your friend?"

"You have the same religion as your friends, if your friends are backbiting, you will follow the same sin. Choose your friends carefully - find someone who reminds us of Allah and not attacking the honor and dignity of others"

I am trying out a new thing and it's called taking notes. LOL

Some important points that I've learned just by watching the video below :)

The problem with young unlawful love

I remember the day I made you my everything

Boy, I felt so lucky but it didn’t take long for things to get sour. You were not you or at least the person I thought you were.

Me being me, we stayed friends for the longest time, we laughed, we joked, we had fun.

I wanted something more to happen but unfortunately you had someone else in mind

Yet me being me, we stayed friends.

I did everything I could just to see you out of school. I’ll pay for your dinner, for your friend’s movie tickets even...just so I could have an excuse to see you.

I like the things you like, be the type of girl you would like.

I told myself that I don’t deserve to be treated like this.

Then I felt the bitterness of not being near you.

You were never a horrible person.

In fact, you’re such a good friend to me.

But that is never what I wanted.

The day I made you my everything is the day I’ve lost everything.

Yes, my brothers and sisters in faith. The problem with young unlawful love. How can we give so much power/control to this person who is not even our spouse? 

Learn to love and respect yourself. This is not true happiness, your faith is. 

"Faith is not about everything turning out ok. Faith is about being ok no matter how things turn out."
