"He's literally perfect, he's steadfast on his deen, has a good relationship with Allah swt, he takes care of his family and parents, he's God-fearing, good-looking, self aware and whatnot what else does one want, Aiman" She squealed with excitement. "yeah, but it's not always what it looks like on the outside, you know, do you think he doesn't look at other women? Him being a millionaire, do you think he doesn't go to those parties and stuff, his mindset looks to be of the stone age, how can you survive with him Aisha, I've told you before and I'm telling you again, he's not a good man, how are you so sure about him being all that good" she said. No matter how much we hide our flaws, we still have them. Knowing one has them, studying them, and replacing them with the good things is what makes a person better. Doubts occur in all of our brains, but remembering Allah in those times, is what helps us clean them and make good decisions for ourselves and others around us. "Not everything is about us, Azlan, we need to think about the people around us as well." "You should always correct yourself and others, but if you know it's not going to make a difference, it may affect your relation with them, or it may hurt them and make them pull away from you, don't correct them, change them by keeping them in your company, make them understand the right and wrong, by your actions, your ikhlaas (sincerity)" Aariz was sharing his philosophical and thoughful side again, he's like a sufi sometimes, every word of his just sounds like a quote, and every advice of his can fit in any scenario. "Aariz Ahmed Khan, it's not over yet." Life has a lot of hurdles, but if one values the right things, he has nothing to lose. Nothing can scare those who fear Allah and Allah, alone. May Allah make us one of those.
