“The pain of knowing and loving Allah SWT is the sweetest pain that does not need a cure.
Muslim women wear hijab, and outsiders may think they are so oppressed, but if they asked them, they’d say how much they love their hijab and how they’d never take it off.
I have a friend in Oxford who is from Lahore. In Lahore, they love their chilli. Their food is so hot. Whenever I eat with him, I’m sweating from my head, my ears, my face; everywhere. I need a tissue to wipe myself when I eat; if you saw me you’d think I was in pain. But if you asked me, I’d tell you I’m actually happy. I love this food. The believer is like this.” – Shaykh Akram Nadwi (Source: Salah Sharief)
