"Either take it off or respect yourself!"

People! Hold on to every good in man you can find. Never disregard the good deed. Not even if it is meek and sheer in its significance!


thats the wrong message...."either take it off or respect yourself"
encouraging just even a dab of harram is completely turning your face from the truth....the truth is people need help not insults...its better and actually mandatory that defend your sister and brother in islam wrong or right and take them by the hand. The message here spreads fitna..even if the intention is to acknowledge a problem and highlight is presence in society but this is honestly an insult for those who are trying or tried. Everyone has their own test in this dounya and some have it harder than others...what seems easy to one person might be almost impossible to someone else. giving these kinds of words to the general public puts these girls on blast in a very harsh light that is otherwise a depriving environment to grow spiritually...i know its hard sometimes to keep quiet but the key is being patient...forever. Because in islam the patient enter Janneh before anyone else even before the martyrs...imagine. Rather than encourage more wrong fitna and harram try and inspire those of the ummah who are weak at some aspects.

The Messenger of Allah pbuh said, "should you become eager to mention another's faults, recall your own" Ar-Rafi'i

theres another hadith that encourages us to think of the outcomes of our actions stating, "Should you wish to act, ponder well the consequences. If good, carry on; if not, desist" Ibn Al-Mubarak

I want to leave with this...something this Prophet pbuh of ours left us with that makes me think and fall in hours of thought..., "Practice humility until no one oppresses or Belittles another" Muslim

When we see wrong are instructed to act...but the focus is on this action, it determines our success or failure. This puts alot...ALOT of people down...and does nothing besides pushes them over the edge some of people cant be as strong as you and i and do what needs to be done skillfully with our eyes closed. Kill with Kindness and never acknowledge anyones faults publicly in front of anyone other than the wrong doer

Please I urge you to see the hurt this might have caused some..
This saying can result in otherwise not so favored actions and it might be under your name in front of Allah...My intention is to show the best in everyone and our weakness as humans to easily fall in fitna..have mercy and Allah bestows mercy on you :}

Please Forgive me if i have wronged you...and tell me if i have i wish nothing but the best. Forgive me please.
Your sister
Shireen.

Walking lives.

So walking in to college for the first time, I realize three months in kindness is not as affluent or necessary between people.
Social transactions are very limiting in fact--depriving. Makes a person need just an honest smile. I need to be inspired. Moved. Breathe. However all this has become a secondary need to all my peers. As though they can survive without such needs. Still I see the same need and drive for compassion and understanding not just in me, but as well in everyone surrounding me.

I realize just in these months people eat at each others time, and try so hard not to give back.
Everyone is gaping for time and unwilling to share with themselves what time they do have. This is not selflessness. Its just lack of care towards ourselves.

THAT is something we forget to pay attention to and more important--value.

In this life I walk (or more literally sit ;} ) I see the struggle to instead of grow but to fool others. Its a weird observation. People are looking for academic satisfaction and not personal gratification. This means a bunch of people here for education look forward to that grade that end. This finish, everyones expecting. No one is waiting on time, trying to seek some quality time with themselves. Seems as though everyone is running to the end and forgetting the racwe was the best part. This worries me in the end. All this time, the most valueable thing to the individual, has become a thing of wasted space.

Not even fair to ouerselves, inconsiderate to others. And lacking participation in our lives shows how much we care and in the end deserve.

Thats what this life has taught me. Dont try to hard because no matter what it will end.

I dont need to agree. I pigment of my own color I will show a different face to the casual college student.

Its exhausting. I am tired.
And of course I let this affect the quality of my life. People and knowing them are their own responsiblity.

For the benefit of myself, for my growth I need to let go. Hold on to time and meet others on the way who are also holding fast and tight. Hoping that the concern for quality of our lives and character matches.
Maybe I will find a friend then. Until then this life needs not too much thought rather thoughtless action.
