"By the way, I use the prayer scarf
for every one of the five prayers.
Can't imagine praying with anything
else. I hope Allah rewards you for
making it easier for me
"Waking up to this today made me
rasa sebak sangat. Not that it didn't
make me happy to know that this
beautiful friend of mine feels much
gratitude for a telekung set I gave
her some years ago (bless you),
but because I am reminded of her.
This friend of mine, she is inspiring.
In the way that she is courageous,
in the way that her heart is kind,
in the way that she loves people.
Sometimes I remember her journey
of conversion into Islam and I cannot
help but think to myself, Ya Allah, how
does someone have this much love for
you to willingly give everything up?
Such faith.
And He loves her, I know, for her
unflinching belief in Him. Because for
all the hardship she has experienced
as a young convert; a wife; a mother,
she has been blessed in return with
the ability to love so much more.
It is almost like her heart will never
run out of room to keep loving people.
At least, her heart has certainly
never failed to make room for me.
I hope Allah rewards you for constantly
making good on that prayer scarf, Shiv,
and for your kindness this morning.
Meant the world to me.
