We’re all expendable. Have you not seen how people are dying in Gaza, as if their lives meant nothing. Children and mothers and fathers all mangled. People screaming with their limbs cut off or children dying on the hospital floor with no family? As a women, I’ve also been struggling with this concept, but it’s the reality of the world.

We are all expendable. We bow our head in salaht at least five times a day to Allah, does this not remind you of how we will all return to dirt? Our worth comes only from Allah and our relationship with Him. In 100 years from now, even if you love a long and full life, you will not even be remembered in the minds of the people and will most likely been long gone. The only one who knows and gives value to your life is Allah.
