It's life and it goes on...

It's been a week now and I've constantly been ignoring and moving on.

It was heartbreaking for me at the first to hear people accusing me, telling I seduce boys and what not...

Zelam had stood for me until I asked him not to get involved in my mess which was causing him a slander as well

I said him he would create more problems for me if he continued coming in my way, people thought he was my boyfriend and I cleared to him what it was not, he didn't say a word and moved away

It's been a week now and he hasn't shown up, I sighed in relief, this is much better for him and for me

It was evening and I was reading the holy book Quraan in peace.

I heard a knock on the door before baba came in and sat beside me without saying a word and I just looked at him. He smiled before motioning me to continue and I did

I continued to recite the verses and baba kept quiet listening to it

I closed the Quraan finally now l looked at him grinning

He kept a hand on my hijab draped head before saying "I'm proud of you my beautiful daughter"

"... 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 [𝘺𝘰𝘶]" (93:7) he added

"Alhamdulillah baba" I said with a genuine smile

"Baba can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead my little doll" Baba said patting on my cheek lovingly

"Why didn't you force me into islam and to get closer to Allah, baba ? Isn't that something so important and every parent does?"
I asked something which I was so curious to know lately

"Did I not teach you to recite the Quraan" He said pointing at it

"You did"

"Did I not tell and teach you what pleases the Lord?

"You did"

"You weren't unaware of who the basic facts of Islam, were you?"

"Yes baba, I wasn't" I said

"So my child, forcing is never a part of pushing you closer to the Lord. Allah swt pulls you closer himself, therefore when he wills.
There are two things in this world which can never be forced, one is love and the other is 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. They are the things that reside in your soul, the love for the Lord pulls you to prostration.

That is Allah's guidance, He guides therewith him who wills [to be guided]. 39:23

Allah draws unto Himself everyone who is willing, and guides unto Himself everyone who turns into Him. 42:13
