Does a rose stop being a rose when it is no longer admired?

Does a rose stop being a rose when it is no longer admired? No, it remains a red rose. Does a rose stop being a rose when someone says they prefer lilies? No, it remains a rose. Does a rose stop being a rose when someone calls it by another name? No, it remains a rose. Likewise, your worth isn't based on the objective truth of who you are. That is, your worth is determined by how Allah sees you, not by anyone else.

A tunnel leading to Masjid al-Aqsa

This man in al-Quds deserves so much love and recognition. Abu Khadijah was offered a fortune from authorities and upto 36 million dollars from foreigners to sell his small cafe in the old city of Jerusalem which has a tunnel leading to Masjid al-Aqsa underneath it but he refused.  He said, 'This land belongs to the Muslims and I will not give away a single part of it for any price in this world!' That's manhood and sacrifice beyond all comprehension. Loyalty over money! These are the real ones whose lives should be celebrated and shared. ~Shaykh Aslam
