Morning Musings - From UmmBilal's Diary

Not for the blink of an eye

In the name of Allah the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

It is interesting how selfish looks like these days. I think that lately I see the ugly of people, which was never me.

One time, my dear H said, she hated complaining about someone to me cos I would tell her all the ways that thing could NOT mean what was annoying her even if I didn't know or didn't care about the person. I saw only good.

People love givers, and they love to take. They take your time, energy, actions, gifts, thoughts, ideas, solutions, they take. Even when you do not give, they take. And it is sad, especially when you love them or care for them and just slightly hope that one day, they too will give.

And then there is God. Who gives and takes. But whatever He takes was His in the 1st place. And then sometimes He sends you people you have not given, or who have never taken from you, who you do not know or even care for, and they give you so beautifully, so perfectly, that you know that it is Him. It can only be Him.

My Lord is Ar-Razzaq, Al-Wahhab. Who is your Lord?
