🌻 3 Quick life lessons learned Alhamdulillah today Wednesday August 27 from one of this week's events at Wisdom Islamic School K-12 accredited by the department of education Alhamdulillah (Davao city, Mindanao, Philippines):-
🔹 I remember purchasing a disposable container of biryani for 120 pesos from a food stall in front of the Blue Mosque/Masjid in Taguig and another container of biryani for 110 pesos or something from some fellow niqabi Muslimahs before we went to Venice Grand Canal Mall only for me to later give them to two different individuals because for some reason we felt satisfied Alhamdulillah with the other refreshments we had at a coffee shop. I was actually looking forward to trying those biryani only for them to end up with two acquaintances whom we met at a hotel while attending a gathering with some sisters in Islam. From that incident of us not having eaten those packed biryani meals while I was able to order some biryani Alhamdulillah from Umm Muhammad today after a long time of not having tried biryani because it's not something I myself would buy on a daily basis, and on behalf of one of the supportive moms here, a fellow colleague, and a female neighbor, I once again remind myself that anything we consume, give for Allah's sake, order on behalf of somebody, take photo of, receive, contribute, and share for Allah's sake were all destined, wisely planned and decreed by Allah the Most Wise. And anything which we hoped to try, or we were willing to order but decided to cancel, and looked forward to tasting but they were consumed beforehand, were never meant and never written for us. Alhamdulillah. Oftentimes we're incapable of understanding Allah's Wisdom initially because of our limited human capacity to thoroughly reflect and understand all circumstances fully. This can
Inn-sha-Allah train us to practice patience/Sabr and contentment for Allah's sake.
🔹 Reminding myself and other customers that it's a very despicable and off-putting thing to cancel your orders the last minute. If ever you decide to cancel purchasing some products due to insufficient funds or change of plans, or for whatever reason, it's better to do so at least several hours ahead of when the chef is already cooking your orders or when the seller is about to finalize wrapping their package etc. and if a potential client chooses to forgo buying, they could at least advertise the halal products of that Muslim seller to compensate for any disappointment and awkward situation. Have mercy on that busy stressed out Muslim entrepreneur and show some compassion for Allah's sake whenever you can. Any act of kindness, leniency and empathy you sincerely display to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala can Inn-sha-Allah benefit your soul in this world eventually and/or in the afterlife.
🔹 May Allah the Almighty reward one of my dear sisters-in-law for recently giving us an additional tray of biryani, a younger sister in Islam for being extremely helpful and generous recently, as well as sister Sherry Umm Zaky, atti Norhayya and others for assisting me with some necessities and May Allah the Most Kind always increase the barakah blessings in their lives. Ameen🌻
Thank people genuinely to serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, even if not all individuals are similarly grateful and even if not everybody whom we encounter in this temporary dunya equally return our favors. A diamond and gemstone remain the same; their expensive and special value aren't reduced whatsoever - even if they're placed near a trash bin or grumpy mule. For Allah's sake let's remain inwardly and outwardly cheerful, positive and confident, even if some peers, colleagues and other human beings act obnoxious and passive-aggressive due to their intense jealousy and/or current bad moods.
