There
comes a point in life where things seem to be very tangled up;
where nothing seems to be right even though it is. I am engaged
in a constant quest with my soul or maybe with my nafs (desires)
to be more precise. I see possibilities around me and I feel
curious how it all just happened so right in this life.
I
agree that when girls become ladies and boys become men they go
through a big transformation which is no doubt hard for some to
control, as emotions and sentiments are rising and
forming...some are misled and some just lead to ways that are
wrong.
What
is the percentage of girls and boys who overcome this stage of
puberty
successfully?
Think of the reason behind the words of the Prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him) who said:
“When a girl or a boy reaches the stage of puberty get him/her
married off.”
Concepts
might change with time but facts remain the same and education
is a main factor of why girls or boys aren't married off at the
age of 17-20.
I
personally feel that parents don't have to spend their whole
life taking care of children and some children are left as
orphans as youth approaches and the conclusion to all this is
that we should actually commit ourselves to ways of
pleasing Allah.
I
know Satan tries his best to lead us astray but insha Allah if
we keep reminding ourselves of the Last Day surely Allah will
lead us aright. It only requires our sincerity and hard work. We
didn't come to this world for comfort and triumph but for toil
and sorrow yet Allah the Most High gives us happiness and
blessings everyday.
It
won’t be long until the Day when the trumpet will be blown,
and the dead who have been buried six feet under the soil will
arise. Chaos will spread, mountains will be like carded wool and
there will be hustle and bustle everywhere. No one will remember
their mother, child or father. The day isn't far...start
repenting, as Allah the Most High is most forgiving. He loves
you so much more than your parents even though we think parents
are the only ones who wish the best for us.
Allah
has made things so easy for us so why do we get lazy when the
time comes to meet Allah five times a day? Why doesn't this
laziness appear when we have to meet a friend and why do we get
so restless each and every minute we wait to reach his/her
place? Allah waits for us to show up but how often do we show up
on time for prayer? But it’s never too late...
