tumblr marking palestinian fundraisers as explicit content... it's just another attempt by staff to silence and harm people living under a genocide.

like palestinians have had their entire lives disrupted and can never ever go back to the old 'normal'. they're still being killed while the privileged argue whether or not what they're going through is a genocide.

to try to hurt a person living in an active genocide is beyond inhumane. there's no way to justify it.

i request everyone to please continue helping palestinians. kindly consider donating to alaa, a mother of two young children. help her afford necessities in this very difficult time.

"this secret is eating me alive"

تقول السيدة عائشة أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها: "لما أنِسْتُ مِن رسولِ اللهِ ﷺ طِيبَ نفسٍ، قُلتُ: يا رسولَ اللهِ، ادعُ اللهَ لي، فقال: اللهمَّ اغفِرْ لعائشةَ ما تقدَّم مِن ذنبِها وما تأخَّر، وما أسرَّتْ وما أعلنتْ. فضحِكَتْ السيدة عائشةُ حتى سقَط رأسُها في حِجرِه مِن الضحِكِ، فقال: أيَسُرُّكِ دعائي؟ فقلتُ: وما لي لا يسُرُّني دعاؤُك؟ فقال: واللهِ إنَّها لَدُعائي لأمَّتي في كلِّ صلاةٍ"

Aisha, the Mother of the Believers (رضي الله عنها) said: When I sensed the Prophet’s ﷺ kindness and good spirit, I said, “Ya Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah for me.” So he said, “Ya Allah, forgive Aisha for her past and future sins, those committed in secret and in public.” Upon hearing this, I laughed so much that my head fell into his lap. He then said, “Does my supplication make you happy?” I replied, “How could it not make me happy?”

Then he said, “By Allah, this is the very supplication I make for my Ummah in every prayer.”

this hadith is mainly about kindness, the aspect of forgiveness is one that i struggle to do.

it's always hard for me to forgive those who wronged me. in my case, i always thought it is much better to return the pain they inflicted upon me, if not, a thousand times worse.

those were my thoughts back then.

while still incredibly hard to do, small improvements is better to none.

how do i do it? simple. remind myself to forgive others, as many times just as how i want Allah to forgive me. that i am just like them, a sinner, who has fallen short—worthy of receiving Their forgiveness.

i could give more hadiths about it, to showcase the words that inspired me. but i never write this long for a reblog, so that's that. limit reached lol (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Why do you forgive easily?

Prophet Muhammad said:

"Whoever is easy-going, easy to deal with, and kind-hearted, Allah will forbid the Fire for him."

[Sahih al-Jamih no. 6484]
