I sense the longing in your heart to recapture the joy and innocence of childhood, Damane. 🏵️🏵️🏵️
It's a beautiful reminder that we are not too old to rediscover the simple pleasures in life. As a Muslim, I'd like to share some words of wisdom and guidance from the Quran and Hadith to support your journey.
The Quran reminds us, "And whoever is patient and forgives - that is of the matters inscribed [as a favor] for him." (Quran 16:126) This verse encourages us to be patient and forgiving, even in the midst of chaos and stress. It's a reminder that we don't have to let our circumstances dictate our happiness.
In another verse, Allah says, "O children of Adam, take your adornment at every mosque, and eat and drink, and be generous to your guests." (Quran 7:31) This verse emphasizes the importance of enjoying the simple pleasures in life, like taking care of oneself and being generous to others.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best of you are those who are most gentle to their children." (Bukhari) This Hadith highlights the importance of showing compassion and kindness to our children, which is something you're now rediscovering.
Another Hadith states, "Whoever makes his children laugh, will earn his reward from Allah." (Tirmidhi) This reminds us that bringing joy and happiness to our children is a way to earn Allah's reward.
As you navigate this journey of rediscovering your childhood, remember that it's never too late to make amends. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: knowledge that benefits others, a pious child who prays for him, and charity given in his name." (Muslim) This Hadith reminds us that even small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact on our lives.
In conclusion, Damane, I encourage you to continue embracing this newfound sense of freedom and joy. Remember that it's never too late to have a happy childhood, and that Allah is always willing to guide us towards a path of forgiveness, patience, and compassion.🏵️🏵️🏵️
