When You are Different..

Dear sisters,

When you are different..

People may laugh at you,

They may judge you,

They may avoid you and

They may not accept you and dislike you

At that point, you may start to hate yourself

And hate the reason behind your difference

But,

There are just once case when you would be feel proud that you are “different”,

When you choose willingly to be “different”….

It is when you are one of the “strangers” Prophet Mohammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) talked about in the famous hadith :

“Islam began as something strange and will return as something strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.”

You would start to feel that you are a stranger among your own people just because you are “different” from them.

You are different because you are clinging firmly to your Deen and insist to follow Qur’an and Sunnah.

This is why, whenever people laugh at you, just smile because their mockery would bring you closer to Allah.

Whenever people judge you, just be patient…

You will all have a meeting one day in front of the Most Just of Judges

Whenever people avoid you, don’t feel lonely, Allah is with you.

And never care about the people, who don’t accept you and dislike you,

Remember,

the Love of Allah is the only fortune which enriches you.
