The way Aisha (RA) was slandered.. whew. I’ve experienced it myself. Not only slandered but the full story wasn’t given. When I gave the full story to a few who asked, they looked shocked. Ultimately, I don’t need to speak & it’s people’s responsibility to work on their own misogyny that drives them to bully women, especially women who make them feel insecure. This life/next life, truth is made evident.

“Knowing Allah is al-Mubin actually enables us to ask Him to show us.” I made a dua, using hasbun’Allahu wa ni’mal wakeel, during the night, while it was raining & asked not even a glimpse, but for an entire reveal. And someone randomly showed up 5/6 hours (or less) hours later. If that’s the case and it’s this person, I’ll be shocked.

This chapter, ‘Al-Muqsit’ , the One who is most equitable, balanced and just is a must read. Some people are blessed with wealth because w/o it, they may sin & vice versa. Everything is tailored to everyone’s individual circumstance. Judgement has to be equitable, not through the lens of equality, taking circumstances into account. Some people judge, because they simply couldn’t relate to their circumstances.

“Reflect on the times that something was denied to you, and then you actually saw the wisdom later on.”

Oh my God. I was literally during prayer emphasising that God is the Greatest and guess what the title of the chapter I’m now on is titled? “Who is the Greatest?”

Interesting: “The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم also taught us that our state matters when we are making a judgment: ‘A judge should not judge between two per- sons while he is in an angry mood,’ (Bukhari). He reminds us that emotions influence our judgments.”

Crazy that I’m reading this because what happened today? I left my bag at home.
“You might leave the house early enough to get to work, then remember that you forgot something important and have to go back.”

This is crazy because I was thinking today that I wouldn’t want anyone who lets me just “pass by” and guess what this chapter I’m now on is titled? “What passed you by was never for me.” Nothing is ever a coincidence.

Flat rates in Boston, is that true?

“I was taking the underground, called the “T”, with a friend. The way the system operates is that you need a card to touch in, but you do not need it to leave, so you only pay a flat rate upon entry.”
