“One will not be a true believer unless he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa’i, Ahmed and Ibn Majah)
I just want to say that for those of you who are changing for Allah's sake, I am so proud and happy for you. I know that it is not easy cos I, myself, am going through that process now. Trust me ya ukhthi, that once you take the first step, I promise you that it will be the most beautiful step & feeling ever taken. You know, Allah created our souls, our ruh, our jasad and everything. Our life on Earth is only temporary, our bodies belong to Him. Everything belongs to Him. We are being created just so as to worship our Mighty Rabb. We borrow the bodies that He has created for us only to achieve the eternal life- in jannah (if we are good). Once the soul is detached from the One who created us, our souls will mourn, grief and will be deprived from His Nur. Everyday, we will feel sad, loss. . searching for that something that can fill up our empty hearts. Yes my friend, and that is Allah. Once You found him, His Light, His Nur will fill your hearts. . that even in the darkest hour, your heart will be subahanAllah tranquil, placid.
Let me give an example. Being a child, of course he will always need his mother & presence of his mother. Once his mother is absent from his sight, he will cry and feel scared, lost and hurt. Same goes for us. Allah is our caretaker, our Guidance, He is our Everything. Once you've lost Him, there is no way You are going to find Him. . except only if He wills and with his Hidayat. Ever wonder why rich singers and superstars these days such as Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and more always seem to be taking drugs, going in and out of jail repeatedly? Well, they do not have Allah's guidance. That is why they feel empty inside and hence resort to all these bad habits to fill up the huge space and vacumn within them. It is true what Allah says in surah 22:46 that
"It is not the eyes that are blind, but it is their hearts which are in their breasts." Allah is all we need my friend. Allah is
"The Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah does guide whom He will to His Light" (An Nur:35) (This is my most fav ayat in the Quran btw! :D)
I am very thankful that Allah has guided me to Him, to His love, to where I initially belong. I hope Allah continues to guide me and my friends. I hope that all of you will receive His guidance and remember! Always pray for Him to guide You as once you've lost His Light, your soul will always be lonely forever and darkness will engulf you. That will be the most magnificent loss you will ever experience till you die :'(
