- Abu Idris al-Khawlani said: By Allah, I love you.
- Mu'adh ibn Jabal (ra) said: For the sake of Allah?
- Abu Idris al-Khawlani said: For the sake of Allah.
- Mu'adh ibn Jabal (ra) repeated the question: For the sake of Allah?
- Abu Idris al-Khawlani said: For the sake of Allah.
- So Mu'adh ibn Jabal (ra) took hold of his collar, pulled Abu Idris towards him and said: I have good news for you. I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “Allah says: ‘My love is granted to those who love one another for My sake, who visit one another for My sake, and who spend on one another for My sake.'"
- [Muwatta Malik]
"Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing."
This is pepper. On the 5th May 2008 she came into our lives and joined the family. Eversince then, she never failed to make our days happier. She was so special that we named our family business after her, Pepperinas Kitchen. But today, 5th May 2013, she decided to leave us, and back to Allah where she really belongs. I thank Allah for the wonderful 5 years of having her as my company. I just cant help but think, subhanaAllah, what wonderful creations You have. It just reflects on how truly Great and Beautiful You are, and how much You are the most Loving, most Merciful. #pepper #notjustacat
How fast time flies. The faces of life and death slowly creep their way into the picture, trying to remind myself of the days that have passed. How I have experienced life for almost 23 years now, and moving closer to experience death. It makes you wonder about the dreams and wishes that you had, and how you should be already on your way to make it happen. Those words, meant to be expressed but instead, were left unspoken. The heart wanting to be shared, but instead only waited to be broken. Oh how fast time flies…
