You know that one of the prerequisites for entering Jannah is for people to feel safe around you, meaning that people are safe from your harm or mischief.
In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad, the Prophet ﷺ mentioned a woman who observed little fasting and charity, but she never harmed anyone! He ﷺ said: "She is in Jannah!"

In Jannah, you see Allah.
You see the One who has always comforted your loneliness.
You see the One who has always relieved your distress.
You see the One who has always protected you from your fears and managed your affairs.
You see the One who sheltered you when others abandoned you.
You see the One who healed you, fed you, and quenched your thirst without any effort or power from you.

In this episode, we delve into the practical application of Qur'anic Ayahs and Hadiths concerning the status of women in Islam by examining historical authenticated accounts from the prophetic society. We will witness a societal framework that transcended the dichotomy of laxity and rigidity we sometimes find in current perspectives on women in Islam. Through these portraits of early Islam, we gain valuable insights into the active participation of women across diverse realms of society and their integral role within the Islamic community.

"Dad, I hate fasting." 😐
"No, my dear! That's haram! You must love fasting because Allah has commanded it."
Dear father/mother... This harsh response of yours hurts your son/daughter and their faith more than you think you're benefiting them! Because with this response:
You teach them not to express the feelings in their hearts regarding religious rituals. So if they hate anything from them, the hatred remains in their heart and hypocrisy grows little by little!
You teach them that Islam is an unrealistic religion! It demands them to love what is not lovable to the self.
So, what is the correct response in this situation?
"My dear, you mean you hate the restriction of desires that comes with fasting... You hate being deprived of eating and drinking whenever you want, and you hate feeling tired. That's very normal, for a person to hate restricting their desires and to hate feeling tired. Your feeling is very normal, there's no problem with it. Look how Allah Almighty says: "Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you..." (Qur'an translated meaning 2:216)
But alongside this feeling, there's another feeling: the feeling of rejoicing in obeying Allah, the joy in proving to Allah your sincerity in loving and glorifying Him when you leave what you love for His sake, glorified be He. You rejoice while thinking about the Paradise that Allah has prepared for you in return for your fasting, where there is what is more delicious and sweeter than all the pleasures you have abandoned for the sake of Allah in fasting.
Your feeling of joy, my dear, outweighs your feeling of hating tiredness and deprivation of food and drink... And if you don't find it outweighing then, let's remember these meanings so your joy in fasting overcomes the hatred of tiredness and deprivation.
Notice, my dear, in the continuation of the verse "Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you...", how Allah Almighty says, what can be translated as: "...But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not".
This is the matter in all simplicity, without preventing our children from expressing their feelings, and without making them feel that Islam is unrealistic.
Say the same words to your children when you see them celebrating the end of Ramadan because they have found it burdensome...
"Indeed, the believer is honoured, triumphant, supported, victorious (by Allah), self-sufficient, and protected wherever he is even if all nations amassed against him as long as he follows the true core of faith and related responsibilities, publicly and secretly.
Allah Almighty says to the believers "And do not waver nor grieve for you the highest as long as you are believers" (Qur'an translated meaning 2:139)
And His Almighty also says: "So do not waver and call for peace while you have the upper hand; Allah is with you and He will not divest you of your deeds." (Qur'an translated meaning 47:35)
So this guarantee is but by their faith and deeds, which are deemed soldiers of Allah whereby He protects the believers. As such, Allah does not deprive the believers from their good deeds nor does He nullify them. Not like how Allah renders the deeds of disbelievers and hypocrites futile if those deeds were to please someone other than Allah and if they do not align with His commands"
Tafseer of Surah Muhammad, Imaam Ibn-Al Qayyim
The scholar Ibn Al-Arabi, may Allah have mercy on him, said about the Muslim captives held by their enemies:
"Our loyalty to them stands, and our physical support of them is a duty; where we do not blink an eye before seeking to rescue them -if we have the means to it- or spend all our wealth on returning them, till none of us is left with a single penny. This was agreed upon by Imam Malik and all the scholars."
Oh, how astonishing is the decline of moral standards and the lack of rights' awareness!
What stands between you and the Book of Allah? It has been memorized by the blind, recited by foreigners, and recited melodiously by the young children, and chanted by the elderly...
How long will you abandon it while life passes, days unfold, and the Hereafter approaches!? Read the Book of Allah as long as your heart beats.
Abdullah ibn Isa narrated, "This nation will remain in goodness as long as its children learn the Quran."

All of Allah's destinies are good. Does your heart find contentment in them or not?
If you were to know the unseen, you would be pleased with what Allah has destined for you as it is.
"And Allah knows, while you do not know."
