Ramadan Day 7

Salam & Hi.

Ramadan's Chronicles - Day 7

My short notes:

1. Fragility is not a weakness. Fragility is a way of humility. 

- We can be ignorant and fragile among people, but we can be knowledgeable and strong with the help of God

- We as humans need physical protection & psychological protection 

- Do not pretend to be strong within our family or community, when we are not 

- Our problem: Lack of trust among family members / community to speak about our weaknesses 

- Do not avoid our weaknesses but talk about it, deal with it, turn it into a powerful spiritual meaning (weakness keeps us humble, gain trust within loved ones) 

- We need the presence of the people who can help us to protect ourselves from our own fragility, people whom we can trust

- We need Allah to deal with our fragility

- Find the people whom we can talk about our fragility, and whom with all their heart wanna help us to transform our fragility into qualities and humility.

Ramadan Kareem.

Ramadan Day 5

Salam & Hi!

Ramadan's Chronicles - Day 5

My short notes:

1. Muhammad pbuh: a conciliator and a man of peace
- always try to make peace / be a conciliator for other people
- Peace tranquility is greater than power obsession (over money & reputation)
- Respecting the hope and the aspiration of everyone, but at the same time try to make peace (characteristic of a good conciliator)
- The Believers are sisters & brothers in Islam... to achieve this, we all must be Active and Committed to create this sisterhood & brotherhood bond
- Spread peace
- To be at peace is the best
- To achieve the inner peace... Spread peace, be a conciliator

2. Ask these questions..
- Which way in our life are we spreading peace?
- Are we at the level where, when people are looking at us they can see we are spreading peace?


Happy Ramadan!

Ramadan Day 3

Salam & Hi!

Ramadan's Chronicles - Day 3

My short notes:

1. Trustworthy

 - a trusted person is a person who will be able to help other people 

(people will have no doubt to share their problems/deep secrets)

(whoever help other believer/human, Allah will protect him/her in hereafter) 

- to be able to listen to other people

- gain the respect (speak the truth & be trustworthy) 

- Help other people to be better (do not be judgmental) 

- While helping a person, rely on Allah for the result, at same time... be a good companion for the person we are helping (do not betray the trust given) 

- Community now needs more truthful people (leaders, companions) in order to built a more spiritual community

- Do not pretend to be good, but instead TRY to be good

2. Ask question...

- Am i giving the people around me humanity (a person that they can trust) ? 

- Who are the people i'm trusting? Why? 

3. Put full trust in Allah and at the same time, we hope the people around us can put some trust in us.

May the blessings of Allah shower on us!
