You can be married to the worst man ever, like Asiyah (RA) married Fir awn but it didn't change her love and loyalty for Allah. You can be married to the best man, like the wife of Prophet Lut (A.S) was and still not enter paradise. You can also be unmarried like Maryam (A.S) and Allah can make your rank higher than any woman on earth. Know your priorities love and trust is with Allah not any of his creation, but the Creator🤍

It is not altogether shyness that now makes me unsuccessful in company. Sometimes it is a state of mind that is three parts meditation, that will not free the thoughts until their attendant trains are prepared to follow them.

Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.

My life lies at the tips of your fingers. A single kiss of skin and my world divine.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.

This picture from Syria protesting war in Ukraine actually made me tear up.

Abandoned by the world, destroyed and still having enough compassion to think about others.

I am heartbreakingly in awe of the strength of the Ukrainian people.

Some things that really stuck out to me from the coverage I've watched so far:

  • Ukrainian officials requested that a no fly zone be placed over Ukrainian territory and Russia has not just been bombing military targets, they have been bombing areas in cities filled with civilians - they have shelled multiple Ukrainian nurseries, kindergartens and an orphanage, killing numerous children
  • Ukraine's UN ambassador told his Russian counterpart that "there's no purgatory for war criminals, they go straight to hell"
  • A Ukrainian soldier went onto a bridge during battle to detonate a bomb on it knowing he would die in the process
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president has refused offers to evacuate him and is insisting on staying above ground in the capitol (Kyiv) which is currently being bombed and invaded by Russian troops. Russia claims that they are willing to have peace-talks if Ukraine surrenders - Zelenskyy (rightfully, in my opinion) has refused
  • It is estimated that 100,000 Ukrainians have fled across the border to neighbouring countries so far. Polish citizens have been offering to drive them where they need to go and also offering them places to stay. Women and children have had to leave male loved ones behind at the border as Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 have been barred from leaving the country in order that they may be conscripted into the Ukrainian army
  • Russian soldiers on a warship told Ukrainian soldiers stationed on a Ukrainian island (Snake Island) that they were about to invade the island and told the soldiers there to surrender and you could hear the Ukrainian soldiers over the radio saying "so this is it" because they knew they were going to die and then they told the Russian warship to go fuck themselves
  • There is a video of a Ukrainian woman going up to Russian soldiers and telling them they are cursed and offering them sunflower seeds (the national flower of Ukraine) to put in their pockets so that when they die on Ukrainian soil at least sunflowers will grow

I am so sorry to every Ukrainian for what you are going through. Putin is a despicable man. I am deeply impressed and humbled by the strength your people are showing - I don't know that I could ever be that brave.

"Every man has reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has other matters in his mind which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number such things stored away in his mind. The more decent he is, the greater the number of such things in his mind."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
