When I said that I honestly don't have any new year resolution, people look at me like I've just said the unthinkable. Like as if I'm insane not to have one.
My heart desires is to be able to travel around the world VVIP. Especially when I'm performing umrah or haj. Ya Allah please make it easy for me to achieve that. Let's be honest, living highly humble as to compared poorly humble is different. Everyone desire of luxury in their life but just that for some hearts are more acceptable of their state of life and came out with the quote "money is the root of all evil". Masyallah why do we put wealth in such a bad place?
Imagine giving free education to the poor children and the orphans. From the day they step to this earth to the day they can be independent and take care of themselves. I have that dream to give free education to all poor kids around the world. To raise up the image of being wealthy means sharing and we are just the trusted human, chosen by God to take care of the money and distribute it to those who truly needed.
Undeniably, any form of wealth changes people. But what kinds of changes? Will the wealth elevate the person heart to a giving, sharing and humble place or just throw them to the land of selfishness and evil?
Which one do you think you will be? Honestly, I myself can't tell if I will be that giving, sharing or humble for I'm only human. But I truly profusely beg Allah to give me the softness heart of Saidatina Khadijah to let go of my wealth in a proper way.
Thank you for helping Islam in every financial crisis. Thank you for humbling your heart and mind to love our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W the best way you could that no other woman were even as close of your class. Thank you for being such a wonderful understanding wife towards our Prophet. Providing him love and comfort without any resentment. Especially when he first met Jibril for the first time in Hira' Cave. Thank you for your kindness Khadijah.
If Allah wishes me to be a wife one day, I hope I can be at least 1% like you in loving and caring for my future husband. I wish for the kind of love between you and Rasulullah. Inshallah Amiin.
From the river of my heart to yours,
Sofia
