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. 🤲
How can I rekindle my passion for life and continue on my path to success?
What should a being do when he's lost??
Questioning his own creator??
And where am i supposed to find my answers??
🆘 URGENT SADQA APPEAL FOR A REVERT OLD WIDOW Verfied & known
Assalamu alekum warehmatullahi wabarakatuhu. Hope you and your family are doing well.
I am reaching out with a humble request for an elderly widow who has reverted to Islam and is currently living in Sharjah. She is in urgent need of financial assistance. If you, or someone you known, is planning to give sadqa Or loan , this would be a mean a lot to support her during this difficult time.
May Allah ease her sufferings. She cannot go back to India as her nonMuslim family may not accept her with her faith in Islam.
Jazakallah khair. Pls dm me for account details, genuine case.

Surrounded, Yet Alone — or Alone, Yet at Peace
Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reports that Rasúlullah ﷺ said:
Imran ibn Hattan رحمة الله عليه narrated that I went to Abu Dhar رضي الله عنه and found him sitting alone in the Masjid, with a black cloak wrapped around. I asked him: “O Abu Dhar! Why this solitude?”
He replied: “I had heard Rasúlullãh ﷺ saying:
“Solitude is better than an evil companion; and a good companion is better than solitude.
Speaking what is good is better than silence, and silence is better than talking evil.”
[Baihaqi]
Why does listening to nasheed feel so calming and emotional at the same time?
