:: Don't give up ::

Assalam Alaikum,

Got this article from a sister... For those who are striving for the cause of Allah, Subhana Wa ta'ala... 

Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "we believe", and that they will not be tested?

( سورة العنكبوت , Al-Ankaboot, Chapter #29, Verse #2)

You might feel alone. The loneliness in your heart because you can’t tell your family who you are. You might feel worthless because you’re not who your parents want you to do be. You’ll see your non-Muslim friends living an easy life, you’ll get frustrated because you can’t read Arabic, you’ll get let down when you constantly have to hide to your family of the One that lifts you up.

You wear the hijab, but when your family is with you, you have to take it off.

You read the Qur’aan, but when your family is with you, you have to hide it underneath your bed.

You can’t even say mashaAllaah to your mother, when her smile is the most beautiful than anyone here.

Jobs, education, priorities - you’re not who you were before reverting! Now marriage is your focus, for the sake of Allaah, but everyone looks at you as if you’re wasting your life away.

Everything is difficult, and you even have Muslims mocking you.

Just thinking about how it would be when you tell your parents is enough for you to break down.

But don’t.

All of this is worth it, just as long as it’s for the sake of Allaah subhana wa ta’ala.

Remember Him. Remember Paradise, and remember the Hell Fire. Remember death, because so many times we forget we are living to worship Him.

Allaah subhana wa ta’ala didn’t guide you for no reason. He chose you, so you can choose Him. Allaahu Akbar - God is greater than all of your problems. What you think you can’t handle, Allaah azza wa jal is greater than that. What you think is pure bliss, Allaah azza wa jal is greater than that.

SubhanaAllaah.

Fight your battles as a Muslim.

You can never lose when you give yourself up to Al Mani’, The Preventer of Harm, Allaah subhana wa ta’ala.

Live for Him, fight for Him, die as a slave for Him and in shaa Allaah, you will be with Him.
