Image Credit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Izzati Bahri<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n I can\u2019t enumerate how many verses in the Quran there are on how and why Allah has constantly reassured us.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times He puts hope in the Patient.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times He comforts the Depressed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times He soothes the One Undergoing Hardship,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times He guides the Ones who are Lost,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times He promises the delight to come,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times He tells us that He is near, even when we make ourselves distant from Him.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yaa Rahmaan, how Merciful you have been to us!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n As human beings, we were created as slaves. We were created to please and serve. That purpose is innate, divinely decreed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a man, a woman, a spouse, a parent, a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter, and even as a neighbor, we need that constant assurance: of being loved, of being supported, of being heard, of being understood, and of being certain.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n As an individual, we crave for validation as again it comes from the fact that we need to be reassured; that we are thinking and doing the right things. To reassure is to be human.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a believer, reassuring our Ummah is my responsibility and yours. Islam is a community-based religion. We understand that every believer is considered a stranger and a traveller . As we make our way to Jannah, there are many paths we can take and on those paths, we will bound to meet other <\/span>travellers<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>strangers<\/span><\/i>. Together we form groups of<\/span> travellers<\/span><\/i> to Jannah and we are bonded to be a community of <\/span>strangers<\/span><\/i> who walk on the paths to Ar-Rahmaan. This one common goal of striving towards our Lord is what makes us brothers and sisters in Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Muslim is the brother of a Muslim \u2013 he does not wrong him nor does he forsake him when he is in need; whosoever is fulfilling the needs of his brother, Allah is fulfilling his needs; whosoever removes distress from a believer, Allah removes from him a distress from a distressful aspect of the Day of Resurrection; and whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection.\u201d – Bukhari & Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Supporting each other until now has never been so dire. I pray that all of us treat each other as how we wish to be treated. I hope that we are hard on ourselves in striving to be a better slave to Allah and I hope that we strive to be gentle on others . I pray that each of us will uphold the rights of our fellow believers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, I pray that we one day rise as an obedient and victorious Ummah. Indeed, the gain of this Ummah is our gain and the loss of this Ummah is our loss.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Till then,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n May Allah gives us the understanding of this religion the way He wants us to understands it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a man, a woman, a spouse, a parent, a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter, and even as a neighbor, we need that constant assurance: of being loved, of being supported, of being heard, of being understood, and of being certain....<\/p>\nRead More <\/i><\/a>","protected":false},"author":826,"featured_media":37589,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
