From a Place of L♥ve

A Ramadan inspired post.

Dead people can do no wrong. Ever wondered why people always have good things to say about those no longer with us? There's already the quote that says 'speak no ill of the dead' and one time enemies are now forced to rack their brains for those rare moments to share in speeches.

The thing is every single living soul has an enemy. No matter how good or almost perfect you think yourself to be, there's that someone who just hates you for existing. Ask this person why they have so much hatred for someone and they have no tangible reason. Cross the oceans and seas, climb the highest mountain and bring heaven to earth it still wouldn't make meaning.

Even the best of mankind, Our Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be on him. As beautiful as he was, in and out, as loved as he was and still is had enemies, what less we, with our series of imperfections.

While love and hate are both very powerful emotions, the former is positive and the latter is negative. One is harmless, the other is destructive. We as Muslims have been enjoined, as it is in different verses of the Qur'an and accounts in the hadith to love and hate for the sake of Allah alone. Meaning, love what Allah enjoins and hate what he forbids.

So dear sister and brother in faith learn patience to overlook, tolerance to endure the mistakes and imperfections of others. Remember no human is free of these including you.

RAMADAN MUBARAK!

LOVE TO BINGE WATCH? HERE ARE FIVE WEB SERIES TO START WITH

G one are the days when the only place to watch series is on a cable network and local stations. Nowadays one is spoilt for choice with varieties of series on the internet, found on streaming platforms like Netflix, Showmax, Amazon prime video, Irokotv and so on.
