The sadness and chaos in this world...

Assalaam Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

Not sure where to start or what to say...

This world is an utter chaos at this time, Muslim or not muslim, mankind is suffering at the hands of the disbelievers!  May Allah SWT hasten the reappearance of our beloved Imam ATF... this world needs peace...

The religion that means peace is at suffering as well...  the hands of a few that are doing nothing but giving a bad name and reputation to this wonderful religion!  May  Allah SWT bless the hearts of those who are in suffering and pain and give them the strength to bear their huge losses.  Oh Allah! we pray to You and only You!  You are the Supreme, the Beneficent, the Merciful!  Oh Allah, Your justice is compared to no other, You are One and above all!  Oh Allah help those in need in suffering, help the innocent around the world in the name of your beloved Messenger Mohammad and his family! (PBUH&HF)

There is alot of suffering.. not sure where to start and where to go...

This past week has been utter chaos!
First I heard about the ChapelHill shootings of the killing of the beautiful three individuals, so young and so bright... It made my days so dark to think of the pain their families must be going through and MashAllah the strength they have to talk about it.  What is wonderful and in accordance to Islam is that they openly kept repeating not to be revengeful and that justice will take care of the wrong doers... I loved how Deah's sister was so strong and able to face public with the strength and dignity and talk about the three mashAllah.. May Allah SWT grant them all the sabr to bear their major losses... nothing can replace the wonderful young bright individuals that they were... but from Allah SWT we are and to Him we all shall return.

Right after this heartbreaking news, i heard of another lady of our community who was suffering from cancer who lost the battle. May Allah SWT bless her soul and give her family the strength to bear this loss.  Cancer is one disease that I hope and Pray Allah does not even give to the enemies... oh Allah help us to get rid of this illness and save our beings from going through the torture to bear the pain of this illness.  You are Shaafi, the one who gives the Healing for all illnesses!

Same day I heard another tragic news of a 22 year old boy in my family who passed away with brain hemorrhage suddenly.  No illnesses, a healthy young beautiful boy!  May Allah SWT give his parents sabr-e-jameel (highlest level of patience) upon loosing such a beautiful child.  I remember playing with him as a baby and admiring how beautiful that child was.  Who knew that we will all lose him so soon... May Allah SWT bless him with a place in Jannah inshAllah and have mercy on his family and friends to bear this loss.  Oh Allah, you create us and to You we shall all return!

Right around this same time I heard of the bombings in Pakistan... two to be exact and both in mosques while people were praying the Friday congregation prayers!  How insane does a human have to be to claim so many lives during prayer time?  How heartless can a person be!
Oh Allah have mercy on all those families that lost their loved ones... oh Allah You are Aadil (Just), we seek Your justice in getting rid of this jaahil (illiterate) group and having mercy on the believers.  This is not about being Shia'h or Sunni, it is about humanity!  Heartless ruthless people like these are out there killing innocent people in Your name... not knowing how Merciful you are and how You are the Almighty!  They think they have the power to do anything in Your beautiful name... Oh Allah we long for Your Justice!

To you all brothers and sisters... I hope and pray that you and your families keep safe... that no one you know is harmed in this way.. and that you get closer to understanding the beautiful religion of Islam and its peaceful teachings.. I hope you are able to find that Islam does not teach animosity and killings as these few have portrayed it as... InshAllah hoping and praying for peace in this world with the tawassul (intercession) of the 14 infalliables...
