Sorry, where’s your Mask?

Assalaam Alikom wa rahmat ALAAH
Peace and blessings be upon you

Hello Everybody

This post is one of the most personal thoughts that I wrote in my corner @ cyberspace. I do not usually talk about myself; however this time I want to do so, because it’s impossible that man always be the one who talk. Sometimes, the one who talk need to listen, as this time. I do not know if you can reply or not, because I myself don’t know.

Go + pic someone for you!We are all humans, and in our life we face situations that make us stop by and think. When something happen to you, you should pause for a while to think about what happened, analyse + evaluate it, and finally use the results for a clear vision.

Well, I passed with a situation that made me stop by for sometime, not only for a while. First of all, I’m not that type of persons who usually complains to the others; on the contrary, since I was very young, I found myself the one who always listen to people complains, and try to solve them, for the sake of helping people.

I understand that the majority of people want others to listen to them, and try to help them, and I’ve no problem with this issue at all. I even used to listen to people more than I talk to them, and this is something I do by default, therefore I’m not complaining. I also discovered that I care about everything in different situations, because I always consider people as my brothers + sisters, no matter what.

However, I’d discovered that I’m dealing with people in a wrong way! Yes, this young cat whom is walking slowly to his 3rd phase of his life - 30th - is dealing with people in a way that is not matching with the majority.

When I say something, or do something, I do it from the bottom of my heart; not for people themselves, but for the reward from ALLAH (swt). Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) told us to do so with people, no matter what.

When I deal with people, I’m dealing with them really from the bottom of my heart. I’m not wearing the masks and hide my identity behind, because I believe that everything should always be in the light.

Hiding behind the masks is a favourite human act since dawn of history till now. If you read about masks, you’ll find the myth of this thing that people hide themselves behind, however reasons varies from person to person, and from era to era for sure.

You know what? People used to assume that the others are wearing masks, therefore they also wear there masks, and communication in between happened as if you are watching a historical / Shakespearean play. They also used to smile at your face, as if they are not hiding the real soul behind those fake masks that they tied themselves with!

Go + hide behind!Therefore, when people find someone who is not wearing the normal masks, they felt confused, and suspect that he’s pretending + hiding himself behind a new mask; however they are mistaken, because he’s unfortunately not wearing any masks: either known or unknown.

That’s the real problem. I felt that I’m really wrong! When some people from different places make the same, then there;s something wrong! I know that I’m dealing with people for the sake of getting reward from ALLAH (swt), however I’m human too. I didn’t pretend to be angle, because I’m not + I didn’t say I’m.

I’m pretty sure 101% that there are no angles on Earth - except cats + babies. Other than this, all of us are just humans. Humans = Do Right + Do Wrong, however it’s up to everybody to choose his way to make the right and the wrong. I’m not responsible that I’m flying higher why others are not.

I always believe that we are not supposed to judge people according to the intentions; simply because no one except ALLAH (swt), the Creator, who knows the intentions. Therefore, we should deal with each others according to this simple equation: Acts + Words = Personality.

Salut! C'est moi qui parle!I used to take care about both because I deal with people for GOD sake, and never judge the intention of the others. Why do people judge me for something they thought that it happened? Subhaan ALLAH! Ya salaam! Thought? Just thought? Is it that simple to destroy friendship which was built over years because of a thought? And this thought is wrong?

I’m not complaining! I never complain to people, but I’m really wondering! Subhaan ALAH, why do not people take the shot way between two points, which is the straight way, and be honest with others? If someone saw that I’m wrong in something - and sure I must be making mistakes - why do not take the short way and ask me directly? I’ll not bite - because I’m not a dog + I’ll not use my claws as a cat. On the contrary, I appreciate when people talk frankly with me.

Guys: If someone sees that I’m a donkey for example, go a head and tell me why you think I’m. Give me reasons to analyse them, and try to solve the problem; because either you are right or wrong. However, you think that I’m donkey without mentioning reasons + building things on fake reasons? Excuse me; you are totally wrong, monsieur.

It’s not my problem that you don’t understand the difference between the fake things and the real things.

It’s very easy to loose temper; however I’m not that weak. Therefore I still dare to tell you: Salaam + Peace be upon you

Myself: Mmm! seems like tears in those cat eyes?
Me: Never! Tears are something very very very valuable for me; however I save them for things that deserve.
Myself: Mmm! Then you are crying?
Me: Are you donkey [...] Never! For the past mentioned reason.
Myself: Then what? Hurt?
Me: Yes! if it came from a stranger, i can understand. However when it came from people you thought they were close. Subhann ALLAH! I’m human not a machine.

Ya Rabbi! O my dear GOD! O’ my Lord!
People want me to wear their masks! Subhaan ALLAH
Poor little ones!

Salaam,
Hicham

    Hello from Seattle, WA. I found your post very interesting and it would be great if more people knew how to remove the mask that is preventing people from really seeing them for who they are. Actually, the world would be a much better place if people were honest and accepting of one another.

    Your post, although hurtful, is very touching. I came out of it more attached to my non-mask behaviour no matter what they do. I hope you don’t change too. not for them but for Allah’s sake, no?

    and I am happy to see someone in his 3rd phase with the same truth that was with him in the past phases. I’m glad the world didn’t change you. and may Allah bless you with people who are transparent and honest with no masks inshallah.

    Faith - Welcome to my blog. Thanks for stopping by. I agree upon what you’ve mentioned, however not all people understand, unfortunately.

    Sara - Ameen ya Rab! Rabbi knows better and HE (swt) is the ONLY ONE who knows intentions of people.

    Jannah - Don’t worry, nothing can change my way of thinking. Let who wear masks wear them, but they are really useless.

    Rabbi always Rahmaan Raheeim
