sad sad story

Assalamualaikum

i just remembered a true story my mom told me

my mom is a teacher, if you didn't know

there is a student studying in her school. female.

and she is the only girl in the whole school not wearing a hijab

not because she didn't want to

but because her mother told her not to..

yup. you read me right. her MOTHER told her not to

the girl entered school somewhat last year, if i'm not mistaken

seeing the obvious awkwardness, my mom and an ustaz called in the girl and her mother

curious about this particular condition, hoping to help in any way

as a result..

the mother said that her daughter may wear a hijab on a few terms

1. that she must not wear while her hair is still wet

2. that when she wears the hijab, she won't get any dandruffs

3. and that she would not get any other hair problems related to this factor

i was like, wth? -.-'

no offence to other mothers out there, but what relevance is her action?

how can she put such terms to her daughter?

how can she put such terms on what Allah has made mandatory?

and pity her daughter..

the other kids at school called her kafir, a kufr

she went to my mom, confessing her dilemma.. crying

sad isn't it..

how would we be if actually Allah made terms for us to receive His blessings

with all the wrongs that we have done

all the sins that we did

all the assumptions and judges that we make

all the excuses we have come up with

and yet.. Allah has been so patient with us

"If God lacked patience and mercy, all of you would long ago have been punished. If God lacked compassion and forgiveness, none of you would have escaped." [Surah An-Nur 24:20-21]

count your blessings people

but then again,they are uncountable, right?..

wallahualam..
