One day I was sitting on chair facing my laptop and doing a little work. A short but meaningful story grabbed my attention and I started reading it carefully.
In the living room, a son and father were arguing about whom should the son marry with. The father has confirmed his choice.
"You will marry that girl. The one working in the restaurant opposite to our house" The father stated his voice and choice.
"No. I will not. If I want to marry, I will marry the one who is wearing full hijab. Not that girl wearing jeans and short scarf" The son argue back and refused.
"I have told you my answer. If you don't want to marry her, then don't hope to marry someone else" The father raise his voice and restate his decision.
He left the son alone in the living room. The son was sitting alone in dilemma for a while looking at the ceiling of the living room. "There must be something special of this girl if not my father will not be that serious" He thought for a while.
The next day he met his father and told him that he is ready to marry with the choice of his father.
"Good choice my son" The father hugged him and whisper in his ear. The preparation for the wedding started.
The first night, both husband and wife were sitting in their bed room, they were talking and laughing in a low register.
"Honey! do you know why I'm soo happy?" The wife asked with eyes looking down.
"Of course I know. Because it's our wedding night. We are husband and wife." The husband answered happily while his hand is caressing her hair.
"No!. I'm happy because the person I was looking for so far, I was prying for is now beside me. I wished and prayed for a person who will guide me to the right path, be the captain of my life, bring me closer to Allah and teach me about Islam" The wife answered in tears.
The husband was speechless for a while. "Yes this is the specialities that my father has found in her. That's why." He thought for a while.
"Of course dear! Of course I will. You are my life from now and I'm responsible for that. I'm the bread runner and from now you will be staying at home. I don't want you to work as long as I can. It's my job" He explained happily.
The wife took her husbands hand and kissed it.
The next day when he met his father, the father asked him about the choice. The son smiled and said "Thumbs up for your choice". The father smiled hearing the answer and came close to his son.
"My dear son! Don't judge people by their physical appearance, deeply look at them and understand their heart, wishes and dreams. It just like looking at beautiful fresh apple but inside you do not know. Does it look like outside? " The father smiled and left. The son look down and realized the deep meaning if what his father was trying to say.

I have been observing this in our community and it does exist. We look at others as bad and guaranty he or she as a member of hell based on his or her past, behaviors, appearance and so on. I believe everyone wants to change, to have a better life but there must be reasons while do they behave and act like that? We rarely think of that and simply reached the conclusion.
For example a drug abuser came out form the Reformation Center, he is trying to forget his past, build his new life and be good. But what happened when he tries to mix with hte community, tries to help them.
"Ahhh! don't act like an angle. You know you were a drug abuser."
"He is acting to be good. Just wait for few days more. He will join back his old group"
This is the society that we currently live in. When a person tries to be good from what he was in his/her past, we remind him his/her past, we become the obstacles on the way. As Allah has mentioned in the holy Al- Quran Surah Ar- Ra'd (verse 11)
"For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah . Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron."
Remember the story of a prostitute entered Jannah because she gave little water to a thirsty dog? Allah is Al- Ghafoor. He is not looking for how much you did but what He is looking is How sincere you did that.
Let's be good not just for ourselves, but the people around us, friends , relatives and so on. We are responsible for all these. Think out of the box and let's together... move forward to the light of ALLAH..
have a blissful day dears... (^_^)
