It’s amazing how we all are going through the same things but we don’t know that we are, it’s amazing how we all hide our pain and wipe our tears and try to look perfect in front of each other when we all know that nothing can be perfect and everyone has their own problems and pains to deal with.
Come on don’t lie to yourself, you know that life is not perfect and it’s not like in fairy tales, each and every one of use are struggling and wish to change a lot of things, each one of use are looking for a bright future and to change their lives and make it perfect .
It also amazes me how we complain about things that we do to ourselves and maybe don’t even know that what we did could hurt someone else, why are people heartless? Why are people bad? Why are people changing?.. We keep asking these questions when WE ARE THE PEOPLE! .. We do these things to each other, this is life and you have no choose but to survive, no matter how people are bad, rude or heartless be sure that it’s not what they really want, they don’t want to be this way.
The problem is we do things without thinking; we just make decisions without thinking of the others. Okay lets imagine something together.. you where walking in the street with your friends laughing and joking around, then you saw a man holding a plastic bag with bread in it and your friends dared you to steal the bread .. so you ran towards the man and took the plastic bag from his hands and ran away .. I’m sure you would think ” come on its just a piece of bread it won’t bother, the important thing is that I won “. Didn’t you think what happened to the man ? … Didn’t you think how hard he worked to get money to buy the bread? … Didn’t you think that maybe his children are hungry and waiting for their dad to come back home so they can eat? … you don’t know what’s going on in people’s lives, because we all try show everyone that everything is fine when it’s really not.
There are good days and bad days, there are bad people and good people .. this is life !
and we all fake a smile through the bad days I’m sure of that because no one wants people to see him weak or broken.
How can we make this world a better place ? … I can tell you but I know that we won’t change cause sadly we are used to this life …
I won’t bring anything new at all and I won’t make things up from my mind, I’ll just remind you of our religion and what it urges us to do, simple things that we can’t do these days for no reason …
عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه خادم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال :
( لايؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه ) ، رواه البخاري و مسلم
if we all treat each other the way we want to be treated would you think that there would be any heartless people ? would there be people hurt from others ?!
قال صلى الله عليه وسلم ( تبسمك في وجه أخيك صدقة )
When you see someone smile at you what do you feel ? … do you think if you smiled at people there would be hate in the world?
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ” استوصوا بالنساء خيرا، فإن المرأة خلقت من ضلع، وإن أعوج ما في الضلع أعلاه، فإن ذهبت تقيمه كسرته، وإن تركته لم يزل أعوج، فاستوصوا بالنساء” متفق عليه
If people started to respect women and know that they are the reason that they are all alive do you think that there would be injustice?
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “المسلم أخو المسلم , لا يظلمه , ولا يخذله , ولا يحقره , التقوى ههنا , التقوى ههنا , التقوى ههنا , ويشير إلى صدره , بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم . كل المسلم على المسلم حرام : دمه وعرضه وماله” .. رواه مسلم
If we all stood with each other and didn’t let anyone hurt us do you think there would be wars? Do you think innocent children would die every day?
قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم “إن الله لا ينظر إلى صوركم وأموالكم ولكن ينظر إلى قلوبكم وأعمالكم ” رواه مسلم
If we always put in our minds that god won’t ask us how much money we have in the bank or how we look but he will ask us about our hearts and intentions would you think that we would be bad people or steal or do anything wrong?
These are just some of what Prophet Mohammed ( peace be up on him) said .. and sadly I don’t see these things in people these days, that doesn’t mean we are bad, it means that we need to think, we need to know what these simple things can prevent disasters.
I wrote this note not only for you, I wrote it to myself too …
we need to be reminded and we need change!
