My khala's.
There are 4 aunties/khala's here who have made a great impact on my life, and who I look up to allot. These four are some of the awesomest people that I know mashaAllah. I'm sure most of you have heard of them lol couse I talk about them to much.
Khala Dalia (Imams wife)
Khala Ghada
Khala Faykah (taddnymo's mom may Allah swt cure her aameen)
and Khala Aisha.
Each of them is special in different ways, but one thing they all have in common is their love for this deen, their knowledge in it, and how much they work for it.
Khala Ghada:
Haafidha of the Quran mashaAllah. The masjid is almost on her shoulders. it is her that keeps everything going smoothly. Shes the one that runs or has a hand in every one of the 4 womens haalaqahs each week. Has so much knoweldge mashaAllah and is always working to gain more. Always has so much wisdom and gives the best advice, always helping people out.
And something that I think is one of the most beatiful things about her, and that I wish I could learn from her is the way she gives da'wah. MashaAllah mashaAllah I dont think I know of anyone that has had more people accept Islam on their hands than her. The ones I know of, and I have only known her for around 6 years or maybe a litle more and I hadnt started to notice this untill a couple years ago, is over 20. And even those that dont accept Islam leave with a way better understanding of it and wiht misconseptions cleared.
With all she does for the community and people, she is still a role model in her home life. You will never find her husband upset with her, couse she wont let him. Shes one of the awesomest cooks mashaAllah, and she takes care of everything thats asked from her by her family.
Khala Dalia:
In a way khala Dalia grew up in similar circumstances as me, she didnt really have it easy growing up. Her family wasnt very religious so that was also hard on her. She came and lived in the states with her brother were she finished her education. She self taught herself more and more about Islam couse that was her passion. So many people asked for her hand, but she wouldnt accept any of them couse they didnt have deen, but she accepted amu awad.
Again what she does for the community, especially in the sunday school, they couldnt thank her enough for it. Her goal is to plant the love of Islam into the hearts of all of the next generation, and alhamdulilah shes doing an awesome job. She has a great personality that everyone loves. Her knowledge of Islam is emense as well mashaAllah. Knoweldge from the sources, always reading, always learning, always teaching and passing it on.
Still one of the things I look up to her the most in is how she is in her home. Shes an example in all the good u could think of in that aspect. Whether it be to her kids or her husband she doesnt miss any of their rights. Always working hard, never see her resting really, and I know this couse I just about "lived" with them for a couple years was there day in day out. And ofcourse one thing I admire her so much for is raising up her kids as hufaadh mashaAllah
Khala Faykah:
Got married so young mashaAllah, and came here to be with her husband even thought it wasnt something easy, couse she knew his right on her and thats something that mashaAllah she never falls short in. Even when he told her not to do the surgery, just recently, she didnt even with all the pain she was in and with the fact it could have caused her to be paralized (he didnt know that, there was a difference in opinons with the doctors as to what was wrong with her, and he didnt want her to do the surgery until they were sure).
Her knoweldge of sharee'ah mashaAllah, I think she might be the most learned out of all that I mentioned wallahu 'aalam. Always teaching you, always putting you in line even with her looks. Always helping people. No one asks her ANYTHING and its in her capabilty to help them and she wont. If there is ever a door of khair you will find her the first one to knock on it.
And just like the rest, shes a qudwa' in the way she is at home. Her kids are the most obiedant and everyone testifys to that mashaAllah. Brought them up with the love for Islam, and the mindest to work for it. and shes the BEST with out shaak cook mashaAllah.. well in some things (aka ruzz bukhari and chicken) lol.. khala Aisha tops her off in others.
Khala Aisha:
lol khala Aisha is like the silent warrior. Always doing khair always working for people, but no one feels it or knows about it. She has alot of knoweldge of Islam, maybe not to the degree of the others, but you seldom hear her talking. Haafidh of al Quran mashaAllah. and a qudwa in her home. and the best cook everrrrrrr mashaAllah.
Whenever I look at these four, and look at myself I see how jaahila I am in all aspects both dunya and deen. Khala Faykah studied up to her PhD thesis, khala Ghada finished her studies and is always learning more, Khala Dalia finished her teaching degree, and Khala Aisha same way. not to mention their knowledge of Islam mashaAllah. In a way I don't mind the dunya part, inshaAllah if I finish my HS then I am happy, since its always been my opinion that you learn more out of school than in. But what I really really feel so sad about is my Jahl in the deen :(. I really wish I could gain more knowledge in that..
These four have taught me so much about Islam, and about life, and I really hope that inshaAllah one day I can fallow in their footsteps. Fallow in their footsteps of knowledge, fallow in their footsteps with the way they are in the community, with the way they raise their children, and with the way they run their homes. May Allah swt make it easy for me aameen.
Imma miss them :(
