When Ramadan Departs

It's unbelievable the state of the Youth. People making fun of Islam. Muslims.  Others join in without even thinking the consequences they will have to face on the Day of Judgment. I can tell that they don't know what they are saying but that doesn't cover up for them the fact that they have to make time to study their own religion. The basic. The foundation is for everyone to revise every now and then in order to strengthen their eeman.

Eventually, our circle of friends gets smaller. It saddens me seeing how some people behave. They speak as if what the ulama do only applies to the ulama and those who follow. As if saying "My ustadz does not forbid us. Maybe it's just your ulama's 'opinion', thus, for your people only. So 'respect the differences'." And another goes, "Preach to those who wanna be preached. Not here. " Subhanallah.

It's painful to see your friends go from a practicing Muslim to a what they call moderate. La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. No such thing as a moderate Muslim. And how are we so sure that being a 'moderate Muslim' will save us from the Fire and enter us to Jannah? If the world's best person's  Sunnah is considered extreme to you what if I told you, even after all that he  had done for the Ummah, after the clear message that his  past and then future sins were forgiven he  never gave up his  acts of obedience to Allah. In your train of thought what is it called? An extremest extreme? Of course not. Yet you don't like seeing people who do what Rasulullah  said (biidznilah) because the media told you that's what an extremist look like (e.g even just wearing a Muslimah dress; wearing a chest covering hijabs; non-ishbal trousers for everyday wear; and beard). That's just what the society tells you. If you follow it, how is that coherent with the person you are? A Muslim. Someone who submits himself to Allah not to the society.

The youth proudly indulging themselves in ideologies harmful for their deen. Liberalism, Feminism, Veganism, and what have you. On every social media I have I see them mocking those who give them some advice regarding the religion. And what they preserve in their memory are why is everything forbidden? Everything is a sin. This is sinning they wrote for a caption of a picture while they put a smiley emoji next to it mockingly. They're proud for saying things that no other 'too obedient' muslims are likely to say. They appear to be different, bold! For speaking up their unwiseful thinking with an inappropriately placed motto: don't be like a sheep which always listens and never has their say. For being "I don't care what you say it's not in the Quran or Sunnah so I'm gonna do it." Little do they know it may not be in the Quran explicitly but the pious predecessors who were blessed with the best understanding of the Quran and Sunnah of Prophet    consider it a sin because the matter goes with the same ruling to what is explained in the Quran and Sunnah.

We may find people show up in our face with confidence as if they're saying "look I'm doing what you and your ustadz think is forbidden and nothing bad happens. What are you going to do? I've got a good purpose and Allah is All Knower." They accept the advice given to them as a threat. They justify their wrongdoings with an attribute of Allah la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

In a country full of Muslims, you feel like the minority and I don't condone marginalising the minority in the first place.

I long for someone

It happens again.  Me being all happy the whole day while at night I overthink.  I cannot stop it.  I am still unable to.  I'm tired.  Too sad to even sleep.  Too hard too type when the fingers you use to type are the same ones you use to wipe your tears.  How wrong must the things be for me to experience this.  I need God. Then I long for another human being.  I must admit I long for him.  The person who is brave enough to come knock on my door.  I long for him for I am unable to be my true authentic self and tell all my stories to someone without knowing the feeling is reciprocated.  As pathetic as it sounds I need someone to share my life with. 

Silent

 When you're the type who minds your own business and is not nosy or worse crossing people's boundary, you tend to appreciate silence more. When you've gone through so much and you have faced so much instability or dysfunction, you recognise patterns of toxic behaviour. However, not coming from a strong root that has an unconditional familial support system you tend to try to blend in. You put effort. You try to, sorry to say, dumb down just so they understand you and feel heard. But that's the thing about pity, people can hold it against you.  So for now, to be silent once more needs practice.
