Perhaps the Ghurabā’ are not a legend after all.
They may be the ones silently choosing Allah when the world chooses desires.
They may be the ones praying Fajr while everyone else sleeps.
They may be the ones lowering their gaze while others normalize temptation.
They may be the ones holding onto the Sunnah while being called “extreme,” “backward,” or “too religious.”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange as it began, so glad tidings to the strangers.”
Perhaps being a stranger is not a punishment.
Perhaps it is an honour.
In an age where truth is voted on, where morality changes with trends and where likes are valued more than revelation, holding firmly to the Qur’an and Sunnah can feel lonely.
But remember:
Every prophet stood against the majority.
Every reformer was mocked before he was respected.
Every believer will stand alone before Allah.
Do not measure your path by the number walking with you.
Measure it by whether it leads to Allah.
The ghurabā’ are not those seeking attention.
They are the ones seeking His pleasure.
Quietly.
Patiently.
Sincerely.
And if one day you feel alone because you refuse to compromise your deen, perhaps that loneliness is not abandonment.
Perhaps it is Allah preserving you.
Perhaps the world sees them as strangers because they are walking home while everyone else is wandering.
“So glad tidings to the strangers.”
اللهم اجعلنا منهم.
O Allah, make us among them. 🤲
Not every delay is a denial; sometimes God delays things because He has something better prepared for you.
What should a being do when he's lost??
Questioning his own creator??
And where am i supposed to find my answers??
