So the reason why I decided to address this controversial topic of ‘prince charming’ is very simple. Many of us belong to a generation that grew up watching fairy tales. And many of us sisters, if not all of us, grew up with the notion that a handsome man on a white horse is going to rescue us and make us princesses and then live happily ever after. As we grow older, reality hits us and we realize that life is not a fairy tale. We realize that there aint no castles, white horses or men wearing capes. So we grow out of this idea of having a ‘prince charming’. And it is in this process that many of us end up falling into a trap. The trap of ‘compromising’ our standards. And what we decide to ‘compromise’ in that regard, will impact the rest of our lives. Here is what some of us end up saying as we do so: “Well he comes from a rich family. So I mustn’t mind if he uses foul language every once in a while. Because no one is perfect.” “So what if he is being so close and friendly w...

Hiyaa (Part 1) - Blog post (ii)

I've said this way too many times but I won't get tired of saying it. In a lot of situations in life, we fail to realize that a loss in itself is a huge blessing. That its a way of Allah protecting us. That if we got what we wanted, it could have lead to our destruction. There is this beautiful hadhith I learned this year, which is explained in detail in this beautiful lecture below. The hadhith describes a person, who was about to get a high position in this world. He does  all he could and does his best to get it. And he was so close to sure that he was in fact going to get it. At that moment, Allah looks at him from above the seven heavens, and He swt tells the angels, to take that blessing away from him. You might think that this is because Allah swt does not love that person. But when the angels ask Allah swt about why that blessing should be taken away from the person, He says "....take it away from him because if I make it easy for him, if that person attains ...

Where grammar comes to life - Harf nasb (English + Dhivehi)

Where grammar comes to life: How many times do we feel like Allah will not forgive us when we commit a sin? How many times do we feel that Allah will no longer love us because of that sin? And no matter how many times someone tells you not to lose hope, you still doubt whether or not Allah Will forgive you. You feel that Allah will not love you no matter how many good deeds you do. If you feel this way, look at the words below. فَمَن تَابَ مِن بَعْدِ ظُلْمِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ “But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allah will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” Harf إِنَّ from among the harf nasb is a harf used to remove all doubt. And Allah uses this harf twice in this ayah. The first time to say that He, WITHOUT A DOUBT, turns towards the one who repents and corrects his behavior. The second time before He mentioned that He is NO DOUBT the Forgiving ...
