chillin
assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah :)i just came back to the city today after a week...
subhanallah its crazy in the most liveliest and craziest places on earth you find the most relaxation.. I am currently lying on my bed, and my roommate is squished next to me with her head so lovinglly on my shoulder :)
on the other bed lies miss dora lee, and mugga is sleeping on the floor somewhere else...
and its Jummah...
subhanAllah.
you reeeeeeeeeally realize how the little things in life really do make the biggest of differances...
This past week has been crazy..i was in MD, PA, LI, and tomorrow i'll be going to jersey for the minarah program as well. You realize how different each place is, and how different each Muslim community is. When i was in MD, i was amazed at how amazing the muslim community down there is, everyone knows everyone, thier mom, their families, everything! they have such a beautiful community mashaallah...meanwhile in NYC there could be muslims living two blocks from you and you would never know....each city has its charm...each community its strengths. Every time i travel somewhere and am greeted and hosted by other groups of muslims i always think of the Muhajiroon and the Ansar...most of the time when you travel anywhere (in this case EZ), you will see a group of dedicated young Muslims offer you everything that is theirs so that you may feel more comfortable..aand subhanAllah its one of the most beautiful things ever....and why shouldn't it be, its the sunnah of our beloved Messenger, Muhammad salalahualyahiwalsam...
but i think its times like these that we get a taste of true brotherhood...like sometimes i really think if i went up to a sister i met and complimented something shes wearing she'd just take it off and give it to me..subhanAllah thats what this deen is about...and it never fails to amaze me..
anyway shout out to everyone who hosted this years EZ...and inshaAllah may Allah subhana wa ta ala present us an opportunity to be as kind of hosts as they were to us..
ameeeeen.
wsalamualiakumwarahmatullah
