BarakAllah fik beloved sister,

Surely, this is one of the greatest and hardest jihads.  My Allah guide you, protect you, and make it easy for you and your family.

You always have to find yourself. Life is an education process and the point of life is the search for God and for yourself.

Sometimes, we think that the goal in this life is some kind of illumination and then, that's it, this is the end. But this is only the beginning. The goal of this life may be the search itself.

Salam Alaikum sister,

You are most definitely speaking TRUTH!!

My goals, the things I live for, is sharing love, doing charitable work and making sure the next generation is better off than I was.


how you know that your charititable work is growing up a good generation and not killers of others for their own aims? because time changes, people change, books change.

My goals are to have a colorblind society, free of bigotry and hatred.


This is all because of Love, my Love for God, and my Love for all my brothers and sisters.



sista, you think you don't have people whom you hate? what about terrorists? hatred always exist while love exist.

Islam has told us to keep both sides balanced:

Deen(religion) & Dunya (World)

Its the duty of every muslim to get religious & wordly education.

Paradise is a reward, not a goal.  The goal is obedience and faith in God.  The Goal is to be his faithful servants.  If we succeed with those goals, then we will have Paradise.  If we fail, then we won't.  But you cannot do something for the reward.

You shouldn't return the missing wallet for the $250 reward, you should do it because its the right thing to do.

Schwebster, I think Paradise has definitely to be a goal!

Don't you want to enjoy Paradise??

But of course, you have also some otehr goals in life like happiness, children whatever you want, but these goals are less important. You have to keep in mind the bigger picture.

Salam sister
