Ramadan: Isnt it amazing? Do you often reflect?

Assalamu Aleikom brothers and sisters worldwide :)

Isn't it amazing what snowflakes can do when they stick together?

What do you think, does it give you something to reflect upon on ourselves? It's not so much the idea of having so many snowflakes that matters, but that they stick together.

Imagine this: If you had a large field, it wouldnt matter if there were lots of snowflakes coming down if they just end up spread apart once they reach the ground, because they melt and nothing is accomplished. And if you had less snowflakes coming down but they stuck together in an area on the ground, they would grow as a pile without melting, and eventually accomplish a beautiful snowy setting on the ground that we could do so much with.

It's kinda like when the very small Muslim army was victorious at the Battle of Badr, one of the reasons being that they stuck together. Yes I know, it's strange to have snowflakes remind me of Battle of Badr lol. But I hope inshallah that you take even the littlest of things infront of you as opportunities to reflect and increase your imaan :)

May you have a wonderful winter enjoyed and appreciated with your friends and families insha'Allah~

    Wa'alikum Aslam Warahamathullahi Wabarakathu My beloved friend, Hope you are well & hope your exam preparation is going too Insha-Allah *hugs* ^_^

    Masha-Allah I always get enlightened by your beautiful questions hehe. Your question reminded me of this hadith of our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:

    ‏‏ترى المؤمنين في تراحمهم وتوادهم وتعاطفهم كمثل الجسد إذا اشتكى عضوا تداعى له سائر جسده بالسهر والحمى

    You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness and fever with it. [Bukhari]

    Indeed, this is a touching simile. Subhana Allah the community of believers resemble the body; if an organ aches, all the body aches.Those who believe & fear Allah should care about what afflicts other believers. Our Ummah should have unity of feelings, cares, & objectives. We shouldn't harm, hurt or show careless toward our other brethren...but show responsibilities & compassion..but of course only those who fear Allah ponder & contemplate :)

    Take Care :D

    alaykum salam wa rahmatallah wa barakatuh

    snowflakes melting together or not depends on the temperature.

    and comparing this to the battle of badr, also depended on the "temperature" of their hearts and the temperature of the hearts of their foe.
