Can we say we are worried about our children drifting from their faith, if we ourselves are drifting from it?
Where are we mindful of “be patient”? When are we mindful that all of life is a test for us?
Where our calm serenity? Where our restraining our anger? Where “a smile is a charity”? Where our mercy and compassion?
Where a kind word? Where “invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching”?
Where is our walking humbly on the earth? Where our acts of kindness?
If anyone needs to rekindle our faith, it’s us. We’re falling short. I hate what we’re turning into. Angry and bitter and full of rancour.
Where the virtue of rida? What has become of us? Why have we turned this way?
Let’s restore peace and love in our home, with Allah’s help.
Jummah Mubarak.
