I stumbled upon this quote quite a while back and I have to admit, it didn't really resinate me with me at that time. I'm a 24 (F) Muslim, who's been bought up in a western society. Don't get me wrong, Islam and it's teachings are very important in my household but we all know the challenges the youth faces.
There was long period of time where I wasn't practising at all and I was committing Haram without ever thinking of the consequences. Truth be told, I thought there was nothing wrong in what I was doing and that it's 'normal' to take part in these things because of the generation we live in. Fast forward a few years, I know understand why Allah has made certain things Haram and why it's forbidden in Islam. It brings destruction, causes anxiety, depression, breaks relationships but most importantly, you lose a part of yourself.
I know life is a test and maybe I needed to go through all these stages, in order for me to realise that the only rules I should follow are the ones that make Allah happy, and not other people. Living years in sin, really does take a toll on you and by the end of the it, you have no idea who you are.
I'm not saying that tomorrow I'm going to be this perfect Muslim, who reads 5 times a day, but what I am saying is that I finally understand the true beauty of Islam, and how these rules, are only there to protect us 💗
