The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said, ”By Him in Whose Hands my life is, everybody will recognize his dwelling in Paradise better than he recognizes his dwelling in this world” [Bukhari].
Today was a bad day until I came across these words, so much warmth!
The words just reached out and hugged me, they comforted me!

JazakAllah for this wonderful article!

Honestly i don’t think gender has anything to do with certain emotions. I use to think girls were more sensitive but then i noticed some guys can be really sensitive over strange reasons. Allah (subhanawatalah) has created both male and female with an emotional nature. We all feelings one way or another, just in different ways according to our unique personalities.
Anyway I really liked the memoir, it made me think and i love things that make me think. For a person who lived between two places her entire life, i never really thought about which one to call home. I always found home comforting when I’am with the same people. I notice whenever we go on family vacations, i’ll start calling the hotel home after a few days..lol.
But if you include the community, thats completely different from just home.

Having lived in 4 different cities and attended about 7 different schools, I can understand that. In fact, it makes me really happy to see someone else thinks this way. I did it just to comfort myself that I actually do have a home but after reading this I feel like I was right and I’m not alone.

Sabera I did not pay attention to the author as i wrote this. But as I was reading it 3rd sentence down I automatically thought of you and scrolled right to the author subhan’Allah….not just great but AMAZINGLY written. I have been moving all around and especially within the past 2 years I’ve been moving every few months and not even to a place I can call “home” but rather a place like at family’s here and there. What you said has truly inspired me. I have one bag and a backpack. Every item I own travels with me within these two bags. It helps to reconcile our final destination and to reassure us that worldly status is just so temporary.

That’s a bit of a stereotype.
I could easily say that men don’t have emotions, and you wouldn’t approve of that. Would you?
Not to pick on you or anything, we are all entitled to our opinions, but it’s not fair to latch on a stereotype to attack the other gender.
