To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return

Inna lillaahi Wa Inna ilayhi Raaji’uun
It means “To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return”

We say this statement when someone dies.

Also some of us may say this sentence when we lose something, suffer a setback or harm. But, do you know what it means?

Sure, everyone know that it obviously means ‘To Allah we belong and to Him is our return.’ But, that’s not what here is talking about.

Do you REALLY, TRULY understand these words and their implications in a Muslim’s life? It means …whatever we have is not really ours.

It belongs to Allah.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

By Khadijah

I used to hear the saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” many times. I always thought it was a very positive way to look at life but I never really applied it to myself..until I was forced to.

For quite a while, those lemons were not making anything but lemon juice. I thought that making lemon juice would be much easier than making lemonade. I thought, ‘how do I add sugar when all I have are lemons?’

This went on for quite some time. Over and over, I would allow myself to fall into self pity and despair. Though nobody really knows exactly what my hardships are (except for the occasional few who know me personally), there have been just many things that have caused me complete exhaustion. Many doors keep closing and I honestly feel like just laying on that hard, cold pavement again and and again, giving up on this race to the finish line altogether.

Things to remember when dealing with a revert/convert:

When in a group setting, please remember to speak in the language everyone understands.
When a revert/convert accepts Islam, it’s not an easy decision. She/he has to give up many of his/her old traditions, habits, so please do not be harsh on their way of doing things.
Islam is a way of life, it doesn’t belong to any culture. So, when a revert/convert accept Islam, please do not push them to change their outfits and become an Indian, Pakistani or Arab. They just need to be reminded to have a modest dress.
Every revert/convert has an unique journey, unique experiences, unique challenges, so please do not judge others.
When a revert/convert discuss their personal issues with you, it’s Amanah (Arabic: أمانة), in the closest literal English translation, means fulfilling or upholding trusts. So, do not tell to others what has been discussed, keep with you until you get permission to pass to others.
Be punctual and please take “time” seriously.
