Her journey to a wonderful city

Salam alaykum waramatullah wabarakatuhu,
A young girl who was just 4 months short of her eighteen years birthday makes a journey across the Atlantic to study in the UK. She has not been away from home although she went to a boarding secondary school. She thinks how would she cope, how would she survive with no support from family, siblings and friends? The culture to which she is coming into is different from hers. Her dad and uncle have been to this land before at a time when things were different; the people weren’t too nice then. So based on their experience they give her different advice but the best of all is simple, put your trust in Allah and HE would make it easy for you, remember the home where you are from and Insha’Allah all should be well.

The girl prays to Allah to facilitate the move for her if it would be beneficial to her in terms of her deen and if it makes her life better and the hereafter even better. So she comes to the UK, to a wonderful city. The city opens its arms to welcome her, the beautiful and caring people and the sea which gives the place and those in it a calmness like no other. The sisters doing their best to make her welcome and comfortable, she feels like she is home away from home. She meets people and family who keeps her feet firmly on the ground and bring her back to the path of light when she feels she is derailing.

The calming sea, the lovely scene, such wonderful people what a place to go when you that far away from home.

Alhamdulillah, she is grateful to the people and place which has helped her grow in her deen and assisted her to be a better person. She is most grateful to her parents for the love and trust they have for her and in her to allow her go away from home and for their duas for her.


Reminder
Abu Hurairah narrated that the messenger of Allah said:"Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day either speak good or keep silent, and let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day be generous to his neighbour, and let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day be generous to his guest."Related by Bukhari and Muslim

On the authority of Anas, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say:Allah the Almighty has said: "O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as its."Related by Al-Tirmithi, who said that it was a good and sound Hadith
