Ga 'yata

Ina son Allah. Na rufa wa Allah asiri. Ina rokon Allah. Ina yi wa Allah biyayya. Ni ba cikakke ba ne, but I try for Allah. I repent to Allah. I seek the pleasure of Allah and hope to enter Paradise through the mercy of Allah.

And when I have trouble doing these things, I think of my daughter and seek the boost that I need. It is not to say that Allah is not enough for me; He is all I want and need in this life. It is simply to admit that I am human and accept that I need a reminder every now and then to do what I know is right, to obey the commands of my Lord. And my daughter is the reminder, the encouragement, and the lift that I need.

When I get lazy with prayer, I remember that one day it will be fard on my daughter to pray. How else will she know not to miss a prayer if I do not set that example for her? Ina son 'yata ta girma a cikin yanayi inda ta ga mahaifiyarta ta rasu a gaban Allah da tawali'u. Ina so 'yata ku sani cewa ba mu bauta wa ko Allah kuma nemi yardarsa kawai. Na yi sujada a gaban Allah da ina fata cewa wata rana 'yata zata yi daidai, insha Allahu.

Lokacin da na gaji da hijabi na ko fara jin "mummuna" a ciki, Na tuna cewa wata rana 'yata zata kai shekara inda take son yin kyau. Za ta kai shekaru inda za ta je makaranta ko babbar mata kuma za ta kewaye ta da 'yan mata da gajeren wando da gashinsu suna gudana a bayansu. Ina son ta san cewa sutura ba ta sa ka mummuna. Ina son ta jin dadi da kwarin gwiwa, Sanin cewa Allah yana farin ciki da ita. Ta yaya zan iya tsammanin 'yata don ƙaunar tufafinta da hijabi idan na zama mai laushi tare da shi? Na murfi domin Allah kuma ina fatan cewa wata rana 'yata zata yi daidai, insha Allahu.

Ina yin kuskure. Na yi nesa da cikakke kuma wani lokacin zunubaina sun same ni, sosai haka, cewa ina jin taimako da bege. Amma dole ne in tuna cewa ba zan taba rasa bege ga Allah ba. Ubangijina Mai gafara ne, Mai jin kai. Na san cewa 'yata ba zata zama cikakke ba, Kodayake ina fata tana iya zama. Na san cewa 'yata zata yi kuskure. Amma ban taba son ta ji cewa Allah ya watsar da ita ko ba zai gafarta mata zunubanta ba. Na yi imani da Allah kuma ku tuba shi kuma ina fata cewa wata rana 'yata za ta san mahimmancin tuba kuma, insha Allahu.

Da farko dai mafi mahimmanci ga Allah, Gama 'yata da kaina, Na yi imani da iko da kuma kadaitaka ta Allah ta'ala. Inshaallah wata rana, Zan shiga aljanna kuma ina fatan 'yata zata yi daidai. Ameen.
