Asalaamu Alaikum my sweetpea's
As you all can tell from my greeting, I am indeed in a very good mood today Alhamdulilaah. However the reason for that is completely unknown. Heck! Maybe it is the fact that I've gotten an early start or the fact that I'm doing another blog post in a space of one week. Whatever it is, I'm truly grateful Alahmdulilaah for getting another opportunity to smile and feel all whimsical. Despite the fact that after this post I'll be working frantically on an assignment that's due this coming Thursday- which could be Eid ...
Enough rambling (.*_*.) Today I would just like to share a saying of a wise sheikh that I came across whilst reading "and THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT" by Sister Amatullah Armstrong.
" Allah, make me never forget that the breath that goes in my chest
may never come out.
Do not make me arrogant enough that if I lift my one foot I assume the other is going to follow."
-Shaykh Ali Zain-al Abidin
I read these four simple but powerful lines a couple of days ago. Now I'm constantly thinking about my uncle who had to go to hospital. Yes I have been aware of sickness and death but these four lines coupled with my uncle's sickness has really put SICKNESS and DEATH in perspective. For how long I'll be like this I dont know. But I pray and hope insha Allah that Allah blesses each and everyone of us to constantly be reminded of death as I find I'm much closer to Him.
lets keep smiling
