Jazakallahukairan for what you have beautifully reminded us of. I feel that this type of letting go and trusting Allah takes a life time to achieve but of course by Allah’s mercy we are given moments where Allah leads us to this Hikmah and allows our hearts to be guided by it. May Allah grant us this type of tawwakul ❤️🤲🏽 Ameen
The ancient world recognized the barbarian by his lawlessness and his raw, unrefined brutality. The modern West, however, has perfected a far more sinister specimen: the tech-driven, institutional barbarian. This is the actor who sits in a pristine television studio or an air-conditioned legislative office, speaks fluent human-rights jargon, and then signs off on the weapons, the funding, and the diplomatic cover required to vaporize entire families in their homes.
There is a distinct, chilling barbarism in looking at a child pulled from the rubble of a bombed apartment complex and asking for their political credentials before deciding whether to mourn them. G.K. Chesterton accurately diagnosed this form of intellectual rot when he observed:
‘The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone.’
In the modern pro-life imagination, the virtue of protecting innocence has gone completely insane. It has been detached from reality, turned into a domestic political token to be traded for votes, while being utterly denied to the most vulnerable human beings on earth. They will fight to the point of fanaticism to protect a microscopic cell they cannot see, but will actively justify the blinding, burning, and crushing of a child they can see in high-definition on their phones every single day.
This is so profound, speaking directly to my heart 😢. The 'house with no door'...... You can't live in it.

Indeed we are the generation that wants to know and control!!! That in itself if the lesson for us.
TRUST.
You put it so beautifully.
We must trust the All knower at all times not randomly.
Alhamdulillah
I felt relief and cried reading this. May Allah' peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
