Conversation with God
Me: God can I ask you a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise you won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do you mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late,
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start,
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait,
God: Huummmm...
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call.....
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
God: Let me see, the Death Angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me (ashamed).........
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrasses): Ok
God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.....in all things, the good & the bad.
Me: I will trust you
God: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.

How to get an "A" Grade on Final Exam?
proudmuslimaa:
Final exams are always a nice time to focus on the true exam of life.
1. In school, you can often redo your exam if you fail. In the hereafter, if one fails there is no going back.
2. In school, you often do not know what questions will be asked. In the hereafter, there are only 3 questions: Who is your Lord? What is your Deen? And who is this man who was sent to you? But...
Ayah of the Day
proudmuslimaa:
“Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you?

Certainly, the Help of Allaah is near!” [al-Baqarah 2:214]

The hijab will not protect a woman from harassment...
themindislimitless:
Her clothing will not stop the jeers, the wolf whistles, that accessing, lingering look men give women they ‘appreciate’. She can be draped in black cloth from top to bottom, and she will still be harassed, she can still be raped.
The problem, you see, is not the woman. The problem is those men. The problem is the culture that makes it okay for men to look at women that way...

The Secret of Honey |
ryanbhilliard:
﷽
One day, Sayyidinā Rasūluᵓllāh ﷺ saw a bee and asked it how honey is made. The bee replied that they of out to gardens and collect pollen and nectar from the flowers in their mouths, and then fly back to the hive and release it, and that makes honey.
Sayyidinā Rasūluᵓllāh ﷺ then said to the bee, “But the nectars have different tastes… some are bitter and others can be sour. But...
