Only for the Sake of Allah

The following story beautifully captures how when we fast from all other than Allah, our hearts naturally open to being more compassionate and loving to all of creation.
#story
A mystic by the name of Mansur, who was fasting the month before Ramadan, was walking to the mosque when he passed a group of lepers who were eating leftovers from the trash. One of them invited the well-known mystic over to eat lunch with him. The mystic said, “Are you sure? I don’t want to be an inconvenience to you.” The man assured him that he would be honored to eat with such a famous scholar. Mansur accepted the offer and sat down with the old leper on the floor as he prepared the meal.

The leper turned to his guest and said sadly, “Are you not afraid of us? We often invite the imams we see going to the mosque to break bread with us, but none of them ever do.” The sweet mystic smiled softly at the man and said, “That is because they are most likely fasting.” The leper replied, “But aren’t you a religious man? Aren’t you God-fearing? Why then are you not fasting extra fasts before Ramadan?” The mystic smiled and said, “Yes, surely I love God, and today I have the good pleasure to eat with you.”

The leper smiled and together they enjoyed a few bites of food. When the call to prayer rang, Mansur got up, lovingly embraced the leper in gratitude, and headed to the mosque for afternoon prayers. After the sun set, Mansur prayed, “Thank you Allah, for the opportunity to serve you, may you accept my fast today.” A few scholars overheard Mansur’s prayer and turned to him and said, “Mansur! We saw you eating with the lepers today. You are a hypocrite and a liar for trying to come across as more righteous than you are!”

Mansur turned to them humbly and said, “I may have broken my fast, but I did not break a heart. You tell me which Allah will forgive more easily: a fast we have broken out of love or a heart we have broken out of self-righteousness?”

READ THAT AGAIN!

This is what an unbaised decision looks like — aaaaaand neeeew!

Today, I was asked a weird question on my way home — the random man in the street asked ‘did you also buy one for your mother?’

I was like: are we only supposed to give flowers to a ‘girlfriend’?

Dunno maybe we let it come to this point where it is now considered normal.

Which one do you think I bought for my mom?

If someone earns more than you, it does not mean you falling behind in making money but you going through financial struggles while he experiencing the opposite - being tested by abundance.

At the end of the day, both of you will be accountable before Allah on the Day of Judgement.

Are you ready for this day?

Azizbek, a guy accepted into a class of 29', mentioned opening the window in the middle of the night to stay awake a few hours before the deadline.

But saying this, not giving flowers to loved ones at least one day of a week like on Friday is unjust.

Gumon qalbning g’iybatidir.

Masjidga kiraverishda yozib quygan ekan.

On a side note, it will soon be banned thanks to violating the consumer rights, including regulations of personal information of consumers.

Boycott TEMU & SHEIN. 🚫

How can we enjoy low-priced products, letting our brothers and sisters in China (Uygurs) oppress?

We will not die if we stop buying from them, but oppressed Muslims in forced labor may die if we don’t.

Please be informed and stay alert‼️
