It's cruel especially since you are already hurt and that's the LAST thing you need to hear. <br /><br />As for my parents, I will definitely need to figure out a way to let them know but with respect and patience(sigh) and InshAllah they and I will be able to have a great relationship in the near future INshAllah=)<br /><br />Wassalam=)Rukhpar Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357579094214268759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32212161.post-47272125554994496892010-04-05T17:21:28.298-04:002010-04-05T17:21:28.298-04:00Salaams Rukphar Mor: Friends who insult you or pu...Salaams Rukphar Mor: Friends who insult you or put you down are toxic. Get rid of them! Some of my old "friends" were like this. It was like a slap in the face. I was left standing there asking myself if I was crazy, was it just me. To add insult to injury, I had others defending the insulter and and put-downer. "Oh, they didn't mean it that way." or "Oh, you are too sensitive." on and on. There's an old saying that goes, "Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining." As for your parents, American Muslima Writers gave you good naseehah. <br /><br />Salaams American Muslima Writer: I can relate to it being easier for people to ask questions when they meet a friendly, open Muslim. And yes, lol, the basics are necessary. <br /><br />Salaams C: Try forcing yourself to smile when you're having a bad day. Who knows? Your day might improve! It has happened to me. We had an old saying in a recovery group I was in: "Fake it until you make it" lol. Works for me most of the time. And OH! I know what you mean about hoarders. I have a friend who grew up in poverty and will not let anything go. Her house is stacked up with boxes that are unpacked from her many moves. My old psychology teacher used to say that "people use 20% of their stuff 80% of the time." So true! And I saw on a TV show that if a person hasn't used/worn something for a whole year, they don't need it and can probably get rid of it.Safiyyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670659439981133346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32212161.post-83788808651994625622010-04-05T09:24:29.646-04:002010-04-05T09:24:29.646-04:00Asalaamu Alaikum

What if you're having a bad day?<br /><br />Its good that you can easily let go of stuff. Most people who grew up poor end up being hoarders terrified of having nothing again.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016249614421972151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32212161.post-52790484703481254942010-04-04T18:42:18.379-04:002010-04-04T18:42:18.379-04:00Congrats on the new fence Saf!
Oooh sounds liek yo...Congrats on the new fence Saf!<br />Oooh sounds liek your house is about to get decked out with lil green plants! (once the seeds germinate!)<br /><br />YARD SALES!!! I LOVE THEM!! I LOVE TO HOST THEM! I used to help my parents run theirs, and I'm still nagging at them to have some more and clean out old stuff! Isn't it fun to see some stranger walk off lovingly holding your stuff!<br /><br />SubhanAllah it's fabulous you can let go so easily of stuff, and although people are more difficult and depressing to get rid of, in the end you feel more free. May ALlah reward you greatly though for trying to maintain ties with your father.<br /><br />Ah small town Island life, sounds fabulous, and masha'ALlah with it being so small and you getting around so much it really is good dawah on your part! Good thing you are so cheerful!<br /><br />I know what you mean I feel bad when i see a group of non-muslims staring at a group of dower looking Muslims and I purposly walk by them with a radient smile so they have a better impression...<br />Some women even commented how they liked the decorations on my abaya. They said, Wow I didn't know you could make so much black seem elegent and pretty. But I always try to wear colorful hijabs. My mom once said it seemed less depressing, so I save my all black ones for the Middle East where it is more common.<br /><br />Part of being a good walking dawah is to not only have a friendly attitute but a good grasp on the basics of Islam to explain when people ask questions. My first years knowing Islam i got lots of questions i couldn't answer and probably looked dumb... Now I just start in cherrily withthe blessings of Islam :D<br /><br />Get it on Drummer Ladies!<br /><br />Hope I can visit you someday :DAmerican Muslima Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494763839971976761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32212161.post-81508386359697994852010-04-04T18:31:22.535-04:002010-04-04T18:31:22.535-04:00Rukhpar Mor: Insha'Allah you will drop them, ...Rukhpar Mor: Insha'Allah you will drop them, that is not friendship to feel sad for days after meeing with them, the opposit shoudl happen you feel happier thats what friends are for, to cheer you up.<br /><br />As for your parents I'm sure you knwo or have been told before but always try to remeber your parents holding you for hours when you were a baby crying, taking care and having patience with you when they didn't have to be so kind. Parents are always trying to help their children be better people than they were. I'm sure some of your conflict must come from this. Try to make your feelings known with repsect and Quietly, your parents will have a higher reguard for you if you show them respect and calmness.<br /><br />Insha'Allah Allah helps you.American Muslima Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494763839971976761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32212161.post-70449758108136421722010-04-04T16:26:31.925-04:002010-04-04T16:26:31.925-04:00I like this!!

My aunt once said to me, "If your personalities are not matching, and you are only feeling worse after your conversations with them, then just let go of them" and so I have been trying to do that for awhile. It's not that we don't always get along, but it's more like sometimes they end up either insulting me or putting me down and I always end up feeling sad for days *Sigh<br /><br />But, yes, Da'wah with our manners is the best Da'wah though I don't always do it=( My parents and I fight a lot and so I think our neighbors are scared of us.
