As salaamu'alaykum everyone.
Ok...I know that it has been two years since I have posted...but I shall begin again insha'Allah.
Here is the message of the day:
Our Prophet (saws), is known to us as a 'Mercy to all the Worlds,' and yet we see Muslims taking actions which are so far from that concept that it is shocking.
For those who are Muslim - you MUST know that if you are not a mercy to those around you, then you are NOT following his Sunnah. You may have a turban, and you may have your hijab or pants 'just so,' but you have missed the point. You have not followed one ofthe greatest Sunnahs of all, and that is to spread mercy in the world.
For those who are not Muslim - please know that if you see Muslims who are not behaving in a merciful manner, then they are not following the teaching of their Prophet (saws). They have become slaves of this world, and slaves of their own selves, but not slaves of their Creator and followers of their Prophet (saws) in the truest and deepest sense. If they were, then you would know them to be merciful and loving human beings. Seek out those Muslims who have those beautiful qualities, for they do still exist, and you will know better what Islam really is.
Masalaam,
Sheikha Munira
