Our Role Models...

Assalamualaikum warahmatulahi wabarakatu :)
بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

I am extremely sorry about my absence in updating my blog. Being in my last year of college sadly means double the work with university applications. I've also been on work experience and after a week at 3 different hospitals I've seen so much blood, 2 operations and many painful procedures! One thing that emphasised in my head with relation to this experience: after seeing and dealing with the complex human body how do some doctors still not believe in a creator :( subhanAllah I fail to understand (just a little snippet of my experience)... But Alhumdulillah that's done and now I have found some time to do a short post :)..

I really wanted to share this, it certainly helps me when in times of need. We have been blessed with the best role models.. and it really helps to remember them in your day to day lives. Looking to them when we want to perfect our actions as a muslim will surely mean that we are living the way Allah SWT has told us to as the way they did inshaAllah. It is very easy in this day and age to take celebrities as our role models, but take time to analyse their actions because the broader image won't show happiness and contentment.. These qualities comes from Islam..This is very short but hope it helps.. xoxo

When you’re hurt by people who share the same blood as you, then just remember Yusuf (AS), who was betrayed by his own brothers.

If you find your parents opposing you, remember Ibrahim (AS), whose father led him to the fire.

If you’re stuck with a problem where there’s no way out, remember Yunus (AS), stuck in the belly of a whale.

If you’re ill & your body cries with pain, remember Ayoob (AS) ... who was more ill than you.

When someone slanders you, remember Ai’sha (RA) who was slandered throughout the city.

When you’re lonely, recall Aadam (AS) who was created alone.

When you can’t see any logic around you, think of Nuh (AS) who built an ark without questioning.

If you are mocked by your own relatives then think of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Allah (SWT) put these Prophets to trial, so that later generations may learn a lesson of patience & perseverance.

May Allah SWT give us perspective & understanding. Aameen.

When you ask Allah (SWT) for something, then patiently wait for His reply. He will give when the time is right, and only that which is Good for you. If He does not answer a specific prayer, He has greater plans for you. Learn to trust Him, for indeed Allah (SWT) is the best of planners!
