Wed Rant: Angels

Assalamu Alaikum sisters!

I hope you are all excited for a new year coming. But don't forget that angels are watching...

Recently I was listening to a lecture, I forget by who, but it was about our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). One thing mention that popped out to me was this: "Don't walk in your house naked, there are creatures (the angels) inside your house."

So my mind hit scattered thinking. Back to the prophet's story. Remember when he was in the cave? And angel Jibreel came to him. Our Prophet didn't know it was the angel. He thought it was a jinn. And you know he rushed to Khadejjah's arms, asking for comfort: telling the story. She then did an experiment. When she took of her hijab, the presence went away and when she put it back on it came back.

See? Angels know and understand modesty.

So then I thought of myself. At times I forget to take off my hijab, but I know it's there. And so when I heard this I was thinking maybe that's why. Anyways, when I come home- even if all the fam was out, we say Salaam. We acknowledge the angels.

So keep them in mind, if they know modesty and show it, we should do the same.

I hope you took something out of this and if you didn't, search my blog for angel. You'll find a couple of poems. Thank you for reading! Till Friday, peace!

Thanks for the entry it makes me think about it, and I also say Salam even if the house is empty, when I come in and when I come out :)

Salam!

This actually gives me a different perspective in regards to angels.

Fida,

Great reminder...especially to say salaam when you walk into your home even if no one is there. Modesty should be something that is ingrained within us. Even if no one is around (aside from the Angels) we should also be mindful that Allah (swt) is there. I can't remember the hadith exactly (I tried to find it...but I couldn't)...but I remember a story of a sahabah (I think it was Uthman ra...but not sure) that would cover his awrah even when he was alone because of the presence of Allah (swt).

May Allah (swt) increase our haya'. Ameen.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
