Expiation

ex·pi·a·tion (ksp-shn)
n.
  1. atonement: compensation for a wrong;
  2. the act of atoning for sin or wrongdoing (especially appeasing a deity)

I am now recovering from my week long flu, a flu I didn't enjoy much. Today a brother said, "Imagine how many sins you lost in that time :)" That is when it hit me!

Abu Sa`id and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “No fatigue, nor disease, nor anxiety, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that

(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Movie Idea 3x10 - Day 10
  1. A guy comes from a Muslim family, slowly he strays from the deen, tragic incident happens that makes him realize the path hes treading and death is right there. Allah can guide and disallow guidance as he wills. (Adhan in child's ear)
  2. Following the life of a child in Afghanistan (or any other nation). Show how democracy kills children and families in other nations when its forced upon them.
  3. Following 3 families from 3 different cultures and ethnicities and religions. See how the communication gap is similar between the children in all three.

Alhumdulillah...

...I have friends that remind me of Allah (swt)
...I'm not part of the Arab Student Association (or the paki one for that matter)

"or the paki one for that matter"

Stop calling us pakis, indians arent allowed to call us that. Only pakistanis are allowed to use the term pakis.

"muslim man strays from deen" story

my main movie is about someone who doesnt' stray from the deen, but gains the utmost pinnacle of his ijtihad right before his death, and goes through every possible situation in the world, kind of like Wild Strawberries by Ingmar Bergman(just the reminiscent part)
