    "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.
