Salaam :)
Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu . . .Have you ever sat and thought about the statement written above, Assalamualaikum. Each and every time we meet another Muslim we're supposed to greet them with this greeting, may peace, the mercy of Allah, and blessings be upon you. That's intense. Often times I run by people and quickly mumble out a salaam. These are the same people who often times I find harboring bad thoughts about, yet when I am in front of them I ask Allah to bestow peace, mercy, and blessings upon them.
I remember I was talking to someone who is absolutely amazing and she was telling me about a person who had spread some horrible horrible rumors about her. She said that she had not seen this person in many many years, yet throughout this period the hate for this person accumulated in this sister's heart. In essence it was hurting her ibaadah and her spirituality. She realized the only way she could really get over this was by making dua for her. So for years she continued to make dua for this person, despite every horrible act she had committed against her, and she felt herself letting go of this anger she felt towards this sister, and she eventually became very very sincere in her dua. A couple of years later she ended up coming face to face with this sister and she said that this person had completely transformed into another person. Though the person never apologized to the sister, the tension between the two sisters disappeared.
Now imagine, if we sincerely meant every salaam that we spread, how that may effect a person. In essence each salaam is a dua. Our hearts should be filled with nothing but love and mercy for other Muslims...perhaps then all this junk around the would dissappear :(
duaaaaaaaas...
