It is so easy for us as Muslims to become lost in the life of this world with work and school. We need to step back sometimes and take a look at things. Here is how one of our students steps back and views things. Taken from the mouth of a 16 year old…
Authubillahi mina-ashaytani rajeem,
Bismillahi Rahmani raheem,
As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatulillah Laila Nasheeba,
This is your student Fasharif A.K.A. Faiza Sharif. InshaAllah, school will resuming soon, starting Monday the 5th of January. SubhanAllah, its been a blessing being in your company – even though its on the internet : ) – I value every minute and every word of advice you give me.
SubhanAllah, I have to say that i feel so blessed. So many young Muslims seem to not understand the importance of seeking knowledge of the religion. I find it very essential. I’ve learned how to remember Allah in ever aspect of my life. Whether it is in my biology class, learning about micro-organisms, I remember Allah, that it is He who created everything from non-existence to existence. It’s easy to live your life in such a society when you are certain about your religion and when you know your rights as a citizen. So many young Muslims are being fooled by these so called Shaiks, telling them what they can and can not do. Well, learning from a strong teacher like you, no one can fool students from sunnahfollowers like myself. No shaik can tell me the lawful and unlawful, because Allah has already made clear the lawful and unlawful. If someone does, I’ll ask them to bring forth their proof.
Honestly, I wouldn’t know how to live my life as a human being without the instructions of Allah and the guidance of his messenger. The religion is so easy, yet so many make it hard on themselves. I once was of the extreme view, but not anymore. Ever since you spoke about commonsense and character and all other topics that influenced me, I learned to drain out all those extreme views and changed my way. I am so grateful that Allah has guided me to a teacher and a source of strength I’ve never thought possible. Allahu Akbar! This website is all I’ve got. What I mean is neither my family nor the people around me help me to remember Allah much. But Allah made it easy for me and guided me to a place that is full of His remembrance. And so long as Allah wills, I hope to cling to this website and call others to seek this opportunity.
Unfortunately, people nowadays are so consumed in the matters of the worldly life, and I’m not the type of person who concerns herself in this world. Its truly is a blessing!!! SubhanAlalh, I haven’t share this with anyone but i’ll share it with you as your student…I don’t how I did it last quarter, but I spent most of my time here on the website learning about Allah and His messenger…and guess what… I received a reward letter in the mail from the school saying that I’ve been put on the honors list. How amazing Allah works things out for those whom He wills. Allah truly bestows mercy upon whomsoever He wills. Making things easy for His slaves, when they do things sincerely for His sake. I’ve learned how to put my trust in Allah Alone. I’ve learned to acknowledge that it is He Alone who provides me and takes care of me. SubhanAllah! I’m very grateful!! Can’t no one put me down anymore. Telling me I cant do this and I cant do that, making the religion hard for me. Because of the strength you’ve installed in us students Laila, I’ve learned to stand up and speak out for myself.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and having the patience.
I will prioritize my schedule, just as you’ve taught me. And try my best in joining the circle of knowledge.
May Allah protect you, strengthen you, and give you the highest level of paradise. May you be with the Prophet and his companions. Ameen. And May He strengthen me and keep me firm in my beliefe in Him. And May He gather us all students from sunnahfollowers and be told to enter paradise. Ameen
Love you always for the sake of Allah.
Your student always
Fasharif

Asalamu alykoum sis,
Mashallah your email brought tears to my eyes, because subhanallah i understand exactly what you’re saying. Im not much older than you sis, and just like you i thank allah for having guided me to a teacher such as laila, alhamdulillah since ive been learning from her, my life has changed dramatically. I always pray that even though sometimes i may feel alone, allah will unite me with my sisters from the site in paradise, and i pray that allah rewards sister laila abundantly for all that she has taught us. Alhamdulillah i thank allah that he has guided me and you sis fasharif at a young age because many young people out there are lost, and thanks to sister laila e students at sunnahfollowers know our deen and as you said nobody can fool us. Alhamdulillah!!!
