          The Message (1976) is a historical film about the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the early days of Islam.
          
          The movie shows how Islam began in Makkah, the difficulties faced by the Prophet and his followers, and how the message of Islam spread despite opposition. It covers important events like the persecution of Muslims, the migration to Medina, the battles of Badr and Uhud, and the conquest of Makkah.
          
          One unique thing about this movie is that it never shows the face or voice of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) out of respect. Instead, the story is told through other characters like his uncle Hamza (RA) and his companions.
          
          It’s a great movie for learning about the early history of Islam in an engaging way.
          You must watch this movie. It's an Islamic movie, and you will learn a lot from it.

Assalamualaikum 
          Have you ever wanted to learn more about Islam but didn’t know where to start? Maybe you see others with knowledge and wish you could understand your religion better too. But sometimes, you feel shy to ask questions. You might even feel ashamed, thinking people will judge you.
          
          First, you need to know about your Lord—Allah. He is the One who created you and placed you on this beautiful earth. The more you learn about Him, the clearer everything will become. Understanding Islam will feel easier when you start with knowing Allah. And the good news is, learning about your religion is not difficult. With a little effort, you can gain knowledge step by step.
          
          Some people make others feel ashamed for not knowing much about Islam. Because of this, many are afraid to ask questions or even begin learning. Others think Islam is too difficult, so they never even try to learn the basics. But this is not right. We are all here to learn and grow. No one is born knowing everything. It’s okay to start from the beginning, no matter how little you know.
          
          So don’t be afraid. Take the first step. Learning about Islam is a journey, and every journey starts with one step.
          
          We all make mistakes, and that’s how we learn. If you see someone making a mistake, help them with kindness, not judgment. The first and most important step in learning Islam is to know your Creator—Allah.
          
          I don’t know you personally. I don’t know how much you practice Islam or how much knowledge you have. But that doesn’t matter. No matter where you are in your journey, it’s never too late to learn about your religion. Gaining knowledge about Islam will only benefit you in this life and the next.

I’m sharing some videos that are full of knowledge. I don’t know if you’ve seen them before, but if you haven’t, I really encourage you to watch them. These videos don’t take much time, but they are truly valuable. Once you watch them, you’ll understand why I insist on it.
          
          Through these videos, you will learn about your Lord. They are eye-opening and filled with wisdom. You will learn things you might not have known, even from childhood. These videos have helped me a lot in understanding my deen, and I hope they help you too.
          
          Finally, I ask you to share this message and these videos with others. May Allah guide us all to the straight path and bless us with beneficial knowledge.

Assalamu Alaikum,
          
          I hope you are doing well. As you know, Ramadan has started. During this blessed month, many people make an effort to read the Qur'an. It is common for people to ask each other how much they have completed. While reading the Qur'an is a great act of worship and brings many rewards, we should also remember the real purpose of the Qur'an.
          
          The Qur'an was not revealed just for recitation. It is a book of guidance for those who seek the right path. Allah has sent down His words to help us live our lives in the best way. The Qur'an is in Arabic, and many of us do not understand this language. We read it, but do we truly know what Allah is telling us? We should not just recite the words but also reflect on their meaning.
          
          I encourage you to read the Qur'an with translation this Ramadan. Read it in your native language so that you can understand its message. Do not worry about what others say. Your reward is with Allah, and He knows your intentions. It is not about how many times you complete the Qur'an but how much you understand and apply in your life. Remember, we can never satisfy people, but our goal should be to please Allah alone.
          
          May Allah guide us to the straight path and bless us abundantly.May Allah increase our understanding of His words and grant us the ability to follow His guidance.

We’re so extremely privileged it’s unfair. Appreciate your life because someone else would do everything to be in your position.
          
          While curing my sore throat with a perfectly cooked chicken soup my mom made for me, I can’t help but to think about the people who don’t have the privilege to do the same. Everytime I am curled up in my warm cozy bed, my mind wanders to those who cannot lie in their cozy warm beds because they don’t have one. Let’s not forget those in need, the homeless and the ones in war currently. Take one minute of your time, raise your hands to the almighty and pray for pur brothers and sister in need❤️ 
          
          There is a beautiful turkish phrase for that: Allah olmayanlara versin (may Allah give it to those, who do not have it). 
          
          Don’t forget to say allhamdulillah for whatever you’re in ❤️

I was so excited to start my ramadan preparations and to completely change my life but guess who got sick again (just like the last years before ramadan)
          
          YES ITS ME
          
          On the one hand I am happy because it means my sins are being forgiven but uhm yes on the other hand I am unable to do anything. My whole body hurts, my voice is gone and my throat feels like there are 1020 needles in it. But allhamdulillah for this. It could always be worse. Though I enjoy skipping school (for a valid reason ofcourse) and resting at home. 
          
          I honestly just want to cry T~T I am soooo hungry I haven’t eaten anything besides soup and like 3 liters of herbal teas for the past days atp I consist 100% of water. 
          
          Keep me in your duas to recover as soon as possible again❤️ Also I feel very bad because I haven’t gotten myself to wake up for my fajr prayer :( I just can’t stand up at all and I feel like I’ll faint any time I stand up or walk. I try my best tho to keep up with my prayers
          
          Once again sickness shows me, how extremely important our health is. Be grateful for being healthy. It’s not the materialistic things that make us enjoy our life but it’s surely our health (first place religion of course) 
          
          Don’t forget your ramadan preparations my dear sisters and brothers❤️ stay safe (and take your vitamins!!!!)

GUYSSSS 
          
          allhamdulillah I can finally call myself a hijabi ❤️ 
          it’s something my heart longed for even years ago but my mom didn’t allow me to but now finally I am old enough and mature enough to finally obey Allah and represent my beautiful religion in the most beautiful way possible. I am so happy I can’t describe in words. My first day went great. My friends reactions were priceless and everyone hugged me and congratulated me IT WAS SO CUTE AHH I LOVE MY CLASS ❤️❤️ my teacher side eyed me a little but I think she was as surprised as everyone else was :D 
          I am soo excited to continue with my hijab journey (I can’t do a bun yet T~T)
          I know when people look at me the first thing they see is my religion and I am so proud to show that allhamdulillah. Even if someone insults me, I will fight back and stand up for myself. I may be not  as visible as the others now but my voice is the loudest for sure. 
          Ah and also I have an excuse to buy even more abayasssssssss

There are days when you feel like a total mess. It can get so overwhelming that you start feeling numb, and those negative thoughts begin to consume you completely. It’s okay and natural to feel this way sometimes, but you can’t stay stuck in it - for the sake of your own well-being.
          
          Imagine your mind is a room, and your emotions are its belongings. They are usually in their right places, but sometimes they get messy. When you feel overwhelmed, restless, numb, angry, drained, stressed, or anxious, it’s like shuffling things around in your mind. Your emotions become scattered, just like the mess in your room. And just like you clean your room, you need to sort out your emotions too.
          
          You know that no matter how many times you clean your room, you will have to do it again and again. It takes effort, but you also know you don’t have any other choice. If you don’t clean up, you will be the one struggling in the mess. The same goes for your emotions. If you don’t take care of them, they will only make things harder for you.
          
          [I have so much more to say, but due to Wattpad’s word limit, I can’t share everything here. This topic needs a deeper explanation, so I have written it in more detail in my book GENTLE NOTES. I highly recommend reading Note 17 - it will only take 5-7 minutes of your time.
          
          If you’re struggling with your emotions or mental health right now, I strongly encourage you to read it.
          
          You don’t have to vote - just read it. I really wanted to share it here on the message board, but I can’t because of the character limit. That’s why I published it today in my book. I truly hope it helps you in some way.
          
          And if you know someone who might need to read these words, please feel free to share them. Tag them in the comments, or if they aren’t on Wattpad, you can copy and share it elsewhere.
          
          I’m doing my best to help people here, and I hope these notes bring even a little bit of positivity into someone’s life. Read Note 17 - MUST READ!]

Sometimes, all you really want is for people to understand you. You’re not asking for anything special, just a little understanding. But when people don’t get you, it can be really frustrating. It makes you overthink and sometimes even doubt yourself, just because others don’t understand you.
          
          But here’s something to think about-do the people you want to understand you, even know how to? Understanding someone means being aware of what troubles them and what makes them restless or empty inside. Let me give you an example. Imagine a person sitting in front of a question paper. They don't know the answers, so they just stare at it with a blank face. Maybe they understand a few questions but not fully.
          
          You’re like that question paper to others. People need to make an effort to understand you. But if they’re struggling in their own lives, how can they focus on understanding you? Think about it-are these people taking care of themselves? How do they handle challenges, emotions, and life decisions? How do they treat others?
          
          This isn’t about blaming or hating others. It's about seeing things differently. You can’t depend on people to always understand you. Sitting and thinking, "No one understands me, how will I fix this?" won’t help. Life doesn’t stop because someone doesn't get you.
          
          Yes, it’s tough when people misunderstand or don’t see what you’re going through. But you can’t force them to change or behave the way you want. They need to do that themselves.
          
          What you can do is focus on yourself. Keep growing, keep learning, and take care of your own peace of mind. It’s not easy, but you can do it.

Calling yourself "crazy" or "insane" just because you feel confused, frustrated, stressed, sad, angry, grumpy, anxious, worried, or numb isn’t right. Sometimes, you might feel like you don't understand what’s happening around you. You know things are going on, but you can’t figure out what exactly. Maybe you're tired or just unsure about what to do next.
          
          You might wonder, What is happening to me? What am I feeling? At times, you feel done with yourself. You can’t decide what step to take, and it becomes too much. You may even stop enjoying the things you once loved. You get upset over small things, and unwanted thoughts show up. These thoughts ruin your mood, and you let them because you don’t know what to do. Instead of moving on, you end up overthinking.
          
          But listen-accept yourself as a human being. You are not just made of bones, flesh, and organs. You also have emotions that you may not see but can definitely feel. You have a mind that wonders, thinks, feels, and learns from daily experiences.
          
          You are not crazy.
          You are not weird.
          You are not useless.
          You are not a mistake.
          You are a normal person. 
          
          You are just human, with feelings and emotions.
          
          It’s okay to feel nothing sometimes when life gets overwhelming. Don’t rush to judge yourself. Calm down first. Calling yourself names is easy when things feel out of control or when someone makes you feel bad.
          
          But don’t do that. Take your time. Analyze the situation. Think carefully. Sitting quietly and calming yourself is better than thinking the worst about yourself.
          
          You are a normal human being.
          Accept yourself.
          Understand your emotions.
          Make better choices.
          Take wiser decisions.
          Stop thinking too negatively.
          And above all-never call yourself hurtful names.
          Accept yourself as a normal human being.
