Muharram – A Time to Reflect & Resolve

Muharram is the month with which we begin our lunar calendar. It commemorates the Hijrah undertaken by our beloved Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam to Madina Munawwarah, where he was welcomed wholeheartedly.

It is derived from the word ‘haraam’ which means forbidden. What is forbidden during this month is fighting. We are not heads of countries that wage war on others, but we have our own battle fields in our homes, families, workplace and even our neighbourhoods.

Most of us live at such a frantic pace that when we get home from work we are tired and stressed. This is the time when impatience and intolerance flares up and we fight with our partner or our children. A good thing to do is to remember who they are and what they mean to us. There are many of us who are not on speaking terms with family members, holding onto grudges, whether real or imagined. We should be aware that we are all different and unique, and that we are all the creations of Allah.

The Beloved Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam said that on the 10th of Muharram we should be more generous to our family: “Whoever increases (his expenditure) on his family on the day of Ashura, Allah Ta’ala will increase his sustenance for the remainder of that year.” (Shuabul Imaan)

We do not have to confine such generosity to the tenth day, or for that matter, for the month of Muharram. Nor does generosity have to be limited to monetary spending. We can be more generous with our time; when a child runs to tell you something while you are busy it will make a world of difference to him if you stop to listen. In this way you will be giving time as well as kindness.

Come the end of December and everyone makes resolutions, as Muslims we easily forget that this is the 1st month of our year. Now is the time to engage in reflection and resolve to do better. We know that we are going to be judged by our intentions, so let us try to have only good intentions for the rest of the year, Insha’Allah.

In the stormy sea of life we have often been tossed around, but with Allah consciousness we can keep our heads above water.

Imam Al Ghazzali said, “The believer is the ship and the world is the water. As long as the water remains outside the ship, it will sail through it. Once the water enters the ship, it will sink. So navigate through the world, but do not let it enter your heart and sink you into itself.”

Let us use this period to reflect, resolve & reclaim what we were truly meant to be.
Insha’Allah.

In the realm of relationships, the difference between fleeting connections and enduring bonds often lies in the depth of the interactions. This profound truth speaks to the essence of what it means to truly connect with and nurture another person on a level that transcends the physical.

To feed the flesh is a straightforward task. It involves satisfying immediate needs and desires, providing temporary pleasure and comfort. While these moments can be enjoyable, they are often fleeting and superficial. They address only the surface of who we are, leaving the deeper aspects of our being untouched. This kind of connection, while sometimes necessary and pleasant, lacks the substance needed to build a lasting and meaningful relationship.

On the other hand, feeding a woman’s spirit requires a different kind of engagement. It means understanding her dreams, fears, strengths, and vulnerabilities. It involves listening with genuine interest, offering support, and providing encouragement. This type of connection is built on empathy, respect, and an appreciation for her true essence. It is about seeing beyond the physical and valuing her for the unique individual she is.

Feeding the spirit means being present in ways that matter. It’s about celebrating her successes and standing by her side during difficult times. It’s about inspiring her to reach her full potential and believing in her capabilities. This kind of support fosters growth and empowerment, helping her to flourish and thrive in all areas of her life.

For a relationship to be truly fulfilling, it must involve this deeper connection. When a man feeds a woman’s spirit, he acknowledges her worth and contributes to her sense of self. He becomes a partner in her journey, not just a companion in moments of pleasure. This kind of bond creates a foundation of trust, love, and mutual respect that can withstand the tests of time.

Encouragingly, anyone can learn to feed another’s spirit. It starts with a genuine desire to understand and appreciate the person beyond their outward appearance. It involves practicing active listening, showing empathy, and being willing to invest time and effort into the relationship. By focusing on nurturing the spirit, one can build a connection that is both deeply satisfying and enduring.

In a world often fixated on the superficial, choosing to feed the spirit is a profound and meaningful act. It is a testament to the value of true connection and the beauty of nurturing another’s soul. By striving to feed the spirit, we not only enhance our relationships but also enrich our own lives, creating bonds that are deep, lasting, and truly fulfilling.

Connect to source
Self love
Forgiveness
Anger
Letting go
Gratitude

These were some of the topics I touched on in my talk with stroke support group.
I was honoured to be the speaker of the day!
As I spoke you can see how they are affected by the words.
Emotions were touched..
When I spoke they were so shocked at how their emotions affected their dis-ease
How self love was important
How anger destroys relationships and self
And mostly how God is the focus and centre of all healing.
There were many questions and aha moments.
So much so that I will be going back and I have been booked to do talks within the community.

We are all facilitators of change..
Let's make a difference with our God given gifts.

Live, Laugh, Love, Inspire ,Pray, Heal

Knowing what toxicity through manipulation sounds like, helps you to understand what to look out for.

It also makes it harder for you to be manipulated...

There are many different forms of manipulation.

Below are some common phrases that a toxic person or a narcissist will often say to you to try and manipulate you, your perception of things, and the people around you...

This is what toxicity through manipulation sounds like...

"I know we just met, but I feel connected as though we are soulmates";
is love-bombing.

"If you really cared about me, you'd do this for me";
is manipulation as an ultimatum.

"You need help, you're unwell; something is wrong with you";
is victim blaming.

"I never asked you to do that";
is non-recognition.

"I'm sorry you feel that way";
is manipulation disguised as a non-apology.

"I'm a good person";
is deflecting from accountability.

"Oh my goodness, will you stop over-reacting";
is minimising and invalidating how you feel.

"You're not capable of understanding this, so I'm not going to bother explaining";
is patronisation.

"I cheated on you because you were too busy working" (and then proceeds to also blame the person they cheated with for their actions);
is blame-shifting.

"I can't do anything right";
is manipulation by playing the victim.

"Nobody else would put up with this";
is manipulation by guilt tripping.

"Why can't you be more resilient like this person";
is manipulation by triangulation.

"It was just a joke";
is manipulation by gaslighting.

"You're taking this way too personally, you're too sensitive";
is invalidation.

Words can sometimes become confusing to understand, especially if spoken by someone who's trying to manipulate you for their own advantage.

I hope this helps...

Your healing isn't about them, it's about you!

They didn't make an effort to keep you.

They didn't make an effort to fix things.

They didn't make an effort to stay.

They are nothing!

Because they've decided to not be there.

Your healing is about you.

Cry when you need to.

Feel angry when you need to.

Miss them when you need to.

Scream if you need to.

It's not about them.

Because despite all of your tears you still remain loving.

You remain caring and understanding.

You remain forgiving.

And even after everything that they put you through, you still remain kind.

Allow yourself the time you need to grieve and mourn the love you gave that wasn't appreciated or reciprocated.

You are meant to feel validated.

You are meant to feel heard and understood.

You are meant to feel loved.

You were the best partner that they could ever have asked for.

And now you're the best partner that they can't have...

That's on them; so let it be...

This time is for YOU!

To focus on you, to think about you, to understand how you feel.

And to finally give yourself the love that you gave them all along...
