When people see practicing, religious families, they tend to view a blessing that was handed on a gold platter. What many don’t see is the years of dark nights, of trials and hardship, that led to the commencement of such a blessing.

Such families often begin from a single person, who Allāh سبحانه وتعالى used as a catalyst to guide the rest — a person who suffered from alienation, mockery, pressure, force, hatred, threats, and rejection for many years, just like many brothers and sisters reading this today are facing. Then the numbers slowly grow, and the Haqq triumphs the falsehood as promised.

First you recruit a sibling, then another. Then a parent who brings the other on board. After that a cousin and an aunt or uncle. Then they all have families and children of their own and before you know it, you’re dead and buried in your grave but there’s a village of Muslims upon the correct ‘Aqeedah and Manhaj that you’re receiving the Ajr of. Perhaps one who you are a means to guide ends up even surpassing you in guidance and steadfastness! Surely, that’s a result worth all the heartbreak and rejection you faced in the journey.

What you’re facing today may be the early stages of a beautiful journey that will end with the outcome you desire. Guidance is in the hands of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى totally, but don’t lose heart. Stay steadfast on your principles and in your Da’wah to your family, it will pay off in the Ākhirah no doubt, and insha’Allāh very possibly in this life as well.

May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى grant us the ability to remain steadfast as we were commanded, to succeed in Da’wah to those we love, and be a means to guide them from the darknesses into the Light.

Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

Via Quranforthought

Please listen to Ahmad as he explains what's happening in Gaza and how everything is affecting the people there in various ways (especially in North) and about the inflation prices (so what happens to the little aid that gets through)

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎It was said:

‎“I will remain patient in order to please You (Oh Allāh),

‎even though my sorrow kills me.

‎It suffices me that You are pleased,
‎even though my patience kills me.”

‎[Madarīj as-Salikeen | 2/157]
