Salaaaaam! What is beauty in your opinion?
Anonymous

Wa Alaykumussalam wa Rahmatullah!

Too broad a question, but in a person?

Piety and Good manners/character. Beauty is a person who is patient in times of hardship, and grateful in times of ease. Easy to speak to and of modest character I think. There’s too much to write really. May Allah make us amongst what He deems to be beautiful!

Wa Alaykumussalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, 

I’m not what you would call a convert as such, as I was brought up in a Muslim family. However I think most people don’t realise that a lot of people born into Muslim families obviously also make the active choice to practice there religion, everyone is given a choice, and Alhamdulillah I went through a period in my life which led to me ultimately decideding to practice. 

What inspired me? Guidance is of course from Allah, and He mostly used the people around me. Alhamdulillah I’ve grown up around many Muslim friends (reverts and non reverts) but they were older than me, and had been practicing longer than I had. The funny thing is, many people would come to me with contentions about Islam, and although I wasn’t fully following the religion, I felt compelled to remove their skewed image of Islam. One of the main things that brought me closer to Islam greatly was the fact that because I had such a wide range of friends, I was able to talk to my practicing Muslim friends a lot about Islam, and this actually turned into an Islamic circle in my house. Some days you’d have 30-40 girls just packed in my room. Subhan’Allah, it was really great and all we’d talk about was Islam and what we loved and what we wanted to clarify. 

A lot of other things also occurred but Alhamdulillah, one thing I can say is that it was a beautiful time in my life and the best decision I ever made. 

Jazak’Allahu Khayr! :D


What is the theme that you are using? I also really like every post you make!

It’s by ‘Day LP’ and thank you! :D


Thank you thank you thank you for not being one of those apologetic Muslims and say things like, "Oh no worries no need to pray, it's what in the heart that counts" etc etc. Just really happy you emphasised on it being important :)

Assalamualaykum,
No problem, I mean of course the heart counts-deeds should be with sincerity. But to claim that something like prayer is not important is lying against Allah and His messenger (peace be upon him), for it has been legislated so clearly. It’s something we should be proud of!
May Allah guide us all.


Assalamualaikum :3 I'm kind of curious, but do you ever get hate posts about being a Muslim? How would you respond to it? I mean, I do get mad sometimes when people talk dirty about Islam but I wouldn't want to stoop to their level and scream at them about it.

Wa Alaykumussalam wa Rahmatullah, 

Very very rarely. Like literally maybe 4 or 5 times? If I feel like the person is genuinely confused and ignorant, then I help to dispel that adopting the correct manners to the best of my ability (we’re all human though so I can’t say I manage to adopt all of them constantly) 

If it’s just some ridiculous message then I ignore it because it’s a waste of time. 

Imam Shafi’ee said:

قل بما شئت في مسبة عرضي *** فسكوتي عن اللئيم جواب

ما أنا عادم الجواب ولكن *** ما من الأسد أن تجيب الكلاب

‘Say what you wish in abuse of me,

For my silence towards the idiot is indeed an answer.

I am not at a loss for a response but rather,

It does not befit the lion to answer the dogs.’
