After pondering day after day after day about what Ishall make my next
post about I came to no success, for everything I thought of just did
not feel right.
Amongst other posts, the message of exams alreadyput across as well as
moving on to a new chapter of our lives and soforth. So alas with no
ideas I thought I would clean out my room. After all it really needed
sorting out, as me any my sister had really had enough tripping over
my philosophy folder and stumping our feet on my psychology books. So
I thought that is what I'll dofor now.
Upon bringing all my workfrom my room, downstairsto the spare room, it
cameto my attention that even the spare room was in such a state! So I
thought Ihave to clear this up as well otherwise I have no where to
put my work. And that is when Alhumdulilah inspiration struck.
I came across a book my beloved father had gifted to me as a child,
and upon finding it memories came flooding back of my childhood, and
how a huge portion of it was spent…wanting to be a PRINCESS !
The book was part of the collection of Anastasia books, titled: ' How
to behave like a princess '. Stupid as I felt and thinking 'I have no
idea why I'm flicking through this' it came to my attention that
subhan'Allah, how our culture in the west is filledwith fooling and
corrupting the young children of our Ummah, giving young girls false
hope, and the wrong ideasof life, romance and yep… PRINCE CHARMING .
As I read on "…a real princess never plays with the same toys
twice…she has new ones delivered everyday "…" a real princess should
ALWAYS dress like a princess…she must have dozens of wardrobes filled
with elegant gowns and glittering tiaras "…" a proper princess will
host wonderful parties . " …" a real princess does not wear the same
clothes twice ." She lives in her castle, waiting for Prince Charming
or her Knight in shinning armour to rescue her pretty self.
The more I read, the more this book began to sound like something out
of Brother Baba Ali's marriage video from Ummah Films. Many sisters,
acting just like this princess, just like this damsel in distress,
waitingfor her knight in shinning armour to battle the fire breathing
dragon, climb the tall tower and whisk her away into an happily ever
after. If any of you have seen Shrek 2, it is exactly how the film
startswith Prince Charming's adventurous journey for his bride to be.
Subhan'Allah wa bi Hamdi!But if one looks at the REAL GEMS , the REAL
PRINCES and PRINCESSES of the dunya and the hereafter, the Sahabah,
the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam and the Umm
ul'Mu'mineen, this absurd notion the west portray was not their
conduct at all!!!
This question is for the sisters, be honest how many fairy tales have
you seen as a child, how many times did you fink ' Where's my prince
charming ?'
Brothers, how many cartoons of superheroes did you watch and think '
that's gonna be me in the future, and I will be savinga pretty woman
too who will be my wife ' ???
As insignificant as it may seem, what's the harm, there only cartoons
right? No! Many a times I myself have spoken to sisters looking for a
spouse in marriage, and they have such deluded ideas of what marriage
is like. They really are waiting for Mr Perfect to come falling into
their laps!!
How many narrations are there of A'ishah radi AllahuAnha, playing with
her dolls with her friends, and the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
'Alayhi Wa Sallam would join in on young A'ishah's play and games. Yet
she did not complain and throw a tantrum for more dolls. One famous
parable is when the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam went to
A'ishah's room on the day of Id-Ul-Adha, to find A'ishah playing a
game that the prophet had not seen before, when he asked herwhat she
was playing, A'ishah replied 'this is Solomon's horses' upon which the
prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam smiled.
Subhan'Allah, even when the children of the Ummahin the past played
with their toys and gave performances, it was in relation to Islam and
Allah's Prophets and Messengers. A'ishah's play, that same day the
Abysinnians performance of the Battle of Badr, and Allahu'Alim how
many other such plays.
Yes, plays related to Islam,not Barbie being looked away in her big
Barbie house by her step-mother,and Ken climbing up to Barbie's room
to save her. ( Or is it Blaine now, 'cos apparently Barbie dumpedKen!
More absurdity !!!)
As for the dress of our beloved Prophet Sallallahu'Alayhi Wa Sallam,
the Sahabah, the Sahabiyaat, and the Tabi'een. Subhan'Allah so humble
were they, that they only had enough cloth to shroud themselves and
their families.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
