SHARING : By Nouman Ali Khan

Yousuf AS was incredibly good looking. Musa AS was unusually strong.

Yousuf’s gift was turned against him. It became the reason for so much grief in his life. Musa AS s strength became a great trial and brought him so much pain.

What Allah has gifted you and me with can be the source of a lot of good in our lives. But it may also be connected to our greatest turmoil. May be that’s what Allah will test us with most. But there’s more.

The devil knows your gifts too. And he wants to use people around you to turn those gifts and make them feel like a curse. Allah hasn’t just blessed you with outwardly goodness like looks, bodily strength, wealth or intellect. Sometimes He’s given you qualities like empathy or patience or kindness or a giving nature or a love of spreading goodness or an ability to be good counsel etc. The devil observes these qualities in you and he wants to rob you of them. How does he do it?

If you’re kind, the devil might incite some people in your life who you’ve been nothing but kind to, to be the worst towards you. If you’re a helper he may incite some you helped to strike at you as if you’re an enemy. If you’re a giver the devil might use someone you gave to accuse you of being greedy. If you’re a teacher he might use a student to call you ignorant. The bottom line is, he might use those you served or were good to in some way and get them to be bad to you. Our prophet SAW came with the message that binds hearts together and strengthens the bonds of kinship and family. Those closest to him in his family accused him of breaking families apart.

And why does the devil do this? So those gifts Allah gave you…the gift of giving or teaching or helping or being merciful or empathetic or caring or patient etc.. that you say to yourself that those aren’t gifts. They’re just something people take advantage of. They’re a curse instead. You should stop wasting your time and just care about yourself. Live your own life.

And in doing so he robs you of the gifts Allah gave you that you were supposed to use to please Him. Remember that those gifts are there so YOU find purpose. He wants to see how much you cherish these gifts. They’re not cheap and they’re not free. What pain caused by people are you willing to overcome to not let go of what Allah gave you? That will show to you and to your God what value His gifts hold in your heart. Don’t let the compassion that drives you to serve people be poisoned by their lack of appreciation or even their unjustified venom.

Don’t let your mind be overrun by those who hurt you. Let them be a dot in your rear view mirror that keeps getting smaller. You have much bigger things to do in life than letting the devil preoccupy you with those who tried robbing you of your gifts. Your best response to them is to ignore them and to do more good than you ever did before. Nothing burns them, and the devil, more.

Reflections before year end 03.

Sometimes you expect something from your dear one so much… but when they fail to do so, it hurts you so much! However, I realise that, we fail to notice that it may actually be done by someone else, or others !!! And the reason we fail to notice is because you are waiting for that dear one!

So in future, instead of getting hurt because of that dear one, appreciate and feel happy from that someone else instead, life will be good ❤

2.0 – Minor Spoilers Alert !

2.0 fever isn’t over yet !!! I’m still mindblown by the fact with Shankar’s brain !! Woahh that man 😱

It was an impromptu movie date and treat by a very good Friend cum movie buddy! Thanks babe !!

Nahhh this is not a movie review ! I suck at it !! I didn’t had that much of an expectation for this movie… But I found myself saying “wow-s” several times ! Maybe some of you’ll might find me exaggerating.. but to me I was MINDBLOWN by Shankar’s innovation… woahhh DAMN COOL are the words for the movie !!

Well first half of the movie, we didn’t know where the movie was heading to! Despite saying many wows- till my jaw ached(actually because of the minor surgery I had) me and my Friend nudged each other and were busy commenting on how stupid and ridiculous certain scenes were.. “in terms of logic” But second half of the movie picked up and answered all our questions !!

Akshay Kumar, totally stole the show !!!! He was so so so so apt for the role that I can’t think of anyone else who can pull it off!!! His face structure and sharp features were really apt for his role in that movie!! Sometimes when you are surrounded with a certain structures/living things, you just evolve around them… & that’s why I feel that he was really apt for that role. Especially his facial features ! I honestly have no idea if Shankar chose him considering that, but kudos man!!!!

Chitti v2.0 …!!!! Well what can I say????!!! Honestly I found the stadium scene really ridiculous!! But who cares??? Nobody can pull off the SUPER IRRITATING YET SUPER COOL robot role !!!! And the dialogues 🤣🤣🤣🤣 !!

Are robots considered supernatural?? Actually I’m not sure. But Dr Vasi didn’t have much of a role in this ! It was dominated by the “robots” … Oops TMI ! Sorry 🙂

This movie is worth watching for it’s innovation, cinematography and entertainment!!!

To end with a very good note, Shankar also taught and shared with us a valuable lesson in this movie 🙂 Do catch it !!! *salute*

Ps : WATCH TILL THE END !!!! That kutty is by far my FAV !!! Cutieeeeeee❤️
