Asaalamu Alaikum all.
This is such a beautiful thread. Lets keep it going, Insha-Allah.
"It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing."
(Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 177)
I can't even begin to describe/explain how much this Ayah touches my heart. Words won't even do it justice. SubhanAllah. But it always leaves me with tears in my eyes.
