ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab (RA) said: نحن قوم أعزَنَا۠ الله بالإسلام، فإن ابتغينا العزة بغيره أذلنا الله “We are a people whom Allah honoured with Islam. If we seek honour through anything else, Allah will humiliate us.”
'But perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you like a thing and it is bad for you; and Allah knows, while you know not' ~ Qur'an 2:216
It's getting more difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Be very careful what you consume online. Many bots, many agendas, many people out there who would do anything for attention and follows. Hold on tightly to your faith, your values, your morals and don't be a victim.
The part of the story about George Washington that usually gets ignored is that the people who were enslaved by George Washington hated their condition. Harry Washington escaped from slavery to join the British to fight against his former slave owner. Harry later died as a free man in Sierra Leone. Oney Judge also ran away and evaded the attempts which George Washington made to recapture her.
This isn’t a minor contradiction that should be explained away. It represented the reality that Washington and other slaveholders did not respect the humanity of the people that they enslaved because they did not view Black people as being human.
Keep your tongue safe from speaking about others.
You’ll have fewer regrets not only in the hereafter, but in this life as well.
And if others speak about you to humiliate you, know that Allah will honor you not only in the hereafter, but before long, in this life as well.
The pain you’re experiencing is a blessing from the Almighty. Pain teaches you how to focus and concentrate on your acts of worship. Pain teaches you how to ask the Almighty with a pure heart. So don't complain about it.
Surely this Quran guides to what is most upright, and gives good news to the believers - who do good - that they will have a mighty reward. And it warns those who do not believe in the Hereafter that We have prepared for them a painful punishment. ~ Quran 17: 9-10
