What does the word "Stranger" mean?
On Cambridge Dictionary it defines "Stranger" as:
* someone you do not know.
* A stranger in a particular place is someone who has never been there before.
but I think there is another meaning that Cambridge didn't mention ... you know this feeling that you are different in a way that makes you a "Stranger" between people, even if those people are too close or too far.
Our Religion is too related to this word, you'll be surprised that this word defines our religion Moreover defines Muslims themselves.
بدأ الإسلام غريبا وسيعود كما بدأ غريبا . فطوبى للغرباء - صحيح مسلم
أخذ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بمنكبي فقال : كن في الدنيا كأنك غريب أو عابر سبيل - البخاري
Being a Stranger in Islam means you are on the right path, one of the best period of your life is when you are totally Strange because that means you don't care about nothing but Allah's satisfaction..
A few Years or Months or Days and we will die, So we don't need to be too linked with this world because it's temporary..
اللهم لا تجعل الدنيا اكبر همنا و لا الى النار مصيرنا
نسألك الا تحرمنا من لذة النظر الى وجهك الكريم
The more I spend in this life, the more strange I become .. sobhan Allah .
ReplyDeleteBut there are those few people, that you rarely feel strange between them.. they are those people whom you love for just the sake of Allah..
Those people who do not want anything from you, they are just there because Allah "subhanah wa ta'alaah" gathered us ..
And I wish I never lose those people, because they become our real families
Gazaky Allahu khyran ...
Ya I feel the same way elhamdulelah that from time to time you can meet another stranger :D ... that you love for the sake of Allah to encourage each other and then return back to your land ..
