Insecurities Worth Having
In conversations about physical insecurities with sisters, one often gets annoyed with the over-analyzation sisters indulge in about their appearances and the level of complaining and ingratitude that’s displayed over Allāh’s blessings. But let’s be honest, there are some features that really are worthy of being insecure about. It’s important that we list them so that sisters can work on remedying the appearance of such ugliness! Some of the worst but most normalized ones:
1. A nose that’s in everyone’s business, poking itself in places it’s not wanted nor supposed to be.
2. A mouth that backbites and through which gossip spreads, that speaks obscenities and is constantly engaged in Qīl wa Qāl (ex: “so and so said and I heard such and such”)
3. Eyes that remain shut throughout the entire night, and never awaken for Qiyām Al-Layl.
4. Skin that isn’t cleansed often with Wudū, and that doesn’t touch the floor in prostration for both Fard and Nawāfil Salawāt.
5. Fingers that aren’t used to keep count of Dhikr.
6. Hands that harm and oppress others.
7. Ears that eavesdrop and listen to that which they are forbidden to hear, such as music and backbiting.
8. A figure that is displayed and distinguishable to those who are forbidden to see it.
9. And a head that doesn’t lower with shyness in the presence of Non-Mahram men.
Let’s set the beauty standards straight, sisters. It’s about time Muslimāt start obsessing with the shortcomings in their Deen and Adab the way they do over their physical appearances. Imagine how much better the state of our graves and hereafter would be if we focused on polishing and perfecting the souls which will be judged before Allāh instead of the bodies that will decay and become one with the dust.
May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى forgive our shortcomings and grant us the ability to rectify our states.

Contemplate on this Ramadan:
Its first 10 being the time of childhood, its middle 10 being youth, its last 10 being old age.
And then imagine eid being the Day of Resurrection..
Such is the example of this life, of this temporary abode.
Don't yousee how Ramadan is a traveller? It comes as a guest and goes?
Such is our lives if we but ponder..

*One of The Most Powerful Duaa for The Genocide in Palestine*
Umar رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ was supplicating this Duaa in Medina while his troops were spreading Tawheed and justice in the same lands our children are being brutally massacred today:
“O Allah, curse the disbelievers among the People of the Book who bar people from Your path and disbelieve in Your Messengers, and who fight Your close friends (Awliyaa).
O Allah, create division among them, shake the earth beneath their feet, and send down upon them Your punishment from which You do not spare the people who are evildoers!”
اللَّهُمَّ العَنْ كَفَرَةَ أهلِ الكِتابِ الَّذينَ يَصُدّونَ عن سَبيلِكَ، ويُكَذِّبونَ رُسُلَكَ، ويُقاتِلونَ أولياءَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ خالِفْ بَينَ كَلِمَتِهِمَ، وزَلزِلْ أقدامَهُم، وأَنزِلْ بهِم بأسَكَ الذى لا تَرُدُّه عن القَومِ المُجرِمينَ!

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ ٱلَّذِى تَفِرُّونَ مِنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَٰقِيكُمْۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
Say (to them): "Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allah), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do."
