Through Allah's Grace and Inspiration, I wrote this to a dear sister of mine recently and I felt it was worth sharing with others.
There is no doubt that we are all exactly where we are meant to be. It's up to us to accept Allah's Qadar gladly, or not. Keep on striving and never give up the dua'. If we follow Allah's Guidance and seek His pleasure, He will never fail his faithful servants. He always gives us exactly what we need, when we need it.
This is an analogy...but apply it to your life situations and you will surely find a great deal of appreciation for His blessings.
Lemons are a beautiful fruit. Some may think them sour, but they have a unique taste, smell, and many uses. Make lemonade from every single lemon...and use the peels for deodorizing, cleaning stainless steel, in a pot of tea, a little of the zest in muffins or a cake, then dry the skins that are left to make potpourri.
Get the FULL BENEFIT from everything you are presented in life...so you can fully appreciate Allah's gifts.
Mai, Mai, Mai..... Even in your 'silence' you have 'something to say'... and I get it! I hear it! It's a 'technique' I had not thought of... Thanks for the insight! ..and you know it's got NOTHING to do with 'lemons'.. LOL :D
ReplyDeleteAs salaamu alaykum Pingy my girl!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny mashaa'Allah! It may not be EXACTLY about lemons, ROFL, but they ARE a beautiful fruit!
Let me know how those lemon poppy seed muffins turn out and if the house smells good with the potpourri, inshaa'Allah! ;D
This is so clever, beautiful, and inspiring!
