Stuff No One Told Me

My heart is aching for Palestine. What hurts even more is how silent the world is.

Please Make dua for Palestine!

اللهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ أَحْوَالَ المُسْلِمِِينَ فِي فِلِسطِينَ، اللهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ أَحْوَالَ

المُسْلِمِِينَ فِي فِلِسطِينَ وفي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، يَا ذَا الجَلالِ وَالإِكْرِامِ.

Allahumma aslih ahwaalal-muslimeena fi filisteen, Allahumma aslih ahwaalal-muslimeena fi filisteena wa fi kulli makaanin ya dhul-jalali wal-ikraam.

O Allah! Rectify the affairs of the Muslims in Palestine. O Allah! Rectify the affairs of the Muslims in Palestine and in every place, O Lord of Majesty and Bounty.

اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ مَغْلُوبُونَ فَانْتَصِرْ لَهُمْ.

Allahumma innahum maghloobuna fantasir lahum.

O Allah! They are helpless, so help them.

رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِمْ صَبْراً وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَهُمْ وَانْصُرْهُمْ عَلَى القَوْمِ

الكَافِرِينَ.

Rabbana afrigh ‘alayhim sabran wa thabbit aqdamahum wansurhum ‘alal-qawmil- kafireen.

Our Lord! Pour upon them patience, make them steadfast, and grant them victory over the Disbelivers.

اللهُمَّ مَكِّرْ لَهُمْ، وَاكْفِهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ إِنْ تَنْصُرْهُمْ فَلا غَالِبَ لَهُمْ، وَإِنْ

تَخْذُلْهُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذي يَنْصُرهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ.

Allahumma makkir lahum, wakfihim bimaa shi’t. In tansurhum falaa ghaliba lahum, wa in takhdhulhum fa man dhal-ladh’ yansurhum min ba’dika.

O Allah! Plot for them, and suffice them with what You please, if You support them then nobody can overpower them, and if You forsake them, then who will be able to support them after You?

لا إِلاَ إِلا اللهُ العَظيمُ الحَليم، لا إِلهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبَّ العَرْشِ العَظِيمِ، لا

إلهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ العَرْشِ الكَرِيمِ.

La ilaha illAllahul adhimul-haleem. La ilaha illAllahu, rabbul-arshil- adheem. La ilaha illAllahu rabbus-samawaati wa rabbul-ardi wa rabbul-arshil- kareem.

There is no God but Allah, the Mighty the Forebearing, there is no God but Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne, There is no God but Allah, Lord of the Heavens and Lord of the Earth and Lord of the Noble Throne

اللهُمَّ مََنْ أَرادَنَا وَبِلادَنَا وَالمُسْلِمِينَ بِسُوءٍ فَأَشْغِلْهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ، وَاجْعَلْ

كَيْدَهُ فِي نَحْرِهِ، وَاجْعَلْ تَدْبِيرَهُ تَدْمِيرَه.

Allahumma man aradana wa biladina bi su’in fash-ghilhu fi nafsih, waj’al kaydahu fi nahrih, waj’al tadbirahu tadmeerah.

O Allah! Whoever wants to harm us and our lands and the Muslims, then keep them busy with their own troubles, and return their plots to their own necks, and make their plans the cause of their own destruction

اللهُمَّ شَتِّتْ شَمْلَهُمْ، وَمَزِّقْ جَمْعَهُمْ، وَخَرِّبْ دِيَارَهُمْ، وَدَمِّرْ

أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ، اللهُمَّ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَعَاصيرَ المُدَمِّرَةَ، وَالأَمْرَاضَ الفَتَّاكَةَ

Allahumma shattit shamlahum, wa mazziq jam’ahum, wa kharrib diyarahum, wa dammir aslihatahum. Allahumma anzil ‘alayhimul-a’ aseeral-mudammir a wal-amradal- fattaaka

O Allah! Disperse their gatherings and shatter their unity, demolish their houses, destroy their weapons.. O Allah! Send upon them destructive hurricanes, and fatal disease

Copied post from Shahad Ali (may Allaah reward the brother)

"Jika Allah berkehendak, Dia Mahakuasa untuk menciptakan semesta sekejap saja", tulis Imam Al Qurthubi, "namun Allah mengajarkan hamba-Nya tentang kelembutan dan ketelitian pada segala hal..."

Okay that's deep :)

Sang Nabi ﷺ Pun Berproses

@edgarhamas

Salah satu inspirasi terbesar kehidupan Rasulullah ﷺ yang relate dengan semua orang adalah: betapa pentingnya sebuah proses.

Syaikh Hasan Diddou menyampaikan, "bahwa salah satu tiang yang menyangga kesuksesan Rasul ﷺ adalah At Tadarruj Al Marhaliyah", maknanya: berlevel dan berproses.

Baginda Rasul ﷺ menjadi manusia besar yang dipilih jadi utusan Allah tentu bukan dengan persiapan yang serba tiba-tiba.

Masa kecil dan remaja beliau menunjukkan pada kita semua bahwa Nabi ﷺ benar-benar dididik oleh Allah untuk jadi manusia yang kuat fisik dan mentalnya. Beliau ﷺ telah menjadi yatim sejak kecil, sang ibu wafat saat usianya 6 tahun, disusul sang kakek yang berpulang saat beliau 8 tahun.

Baginda Nabi muda telah bekerja mandiri sejak usia beliau 15 tahun, menggembala domba: yang ternyata hikmahnya pun luarbiasa.

Setidaknya, kata Ibnu Hajar Al Asqalani, Rasul muda dididik Allah sebagai penggembala domba dengan hikmah istimewa: agar terbiasa dengan kesepian, supaya memiliki sifat yang rendah hati, dan punya gambaran bagaimana cara memanajemen.

Rasul menjadi manusia hebat dengan proses.

Aku pun ingin bertanya padamu: bukankah Allah Mahakuasa untuk memenangkan Nabi Muhammad ﷺ 1 hari saja setelah beliau diutus menjadi Rasul ﷺ?

Ya, Allah Mahakuasa atas itu. Namun dengan hikmah luarbiasa, kita disuguhkan kisah perjuangan Nabi yang 23 tahun; panjang dan penuh tantangan.

Agar umatnya tahu bahwa berproses adalah cara kita mengimani sunnatullah. Allah adalah Rabb yang Mahabijaksana, Al Hakim. Dia menetapkan sebuah sistem dimana siapapun yang ingin berjaya; janganlah ia nafikan proses.

Bahkan, kau tahu kan? Langit dan bumi diciptakan dalam 6 masa.

"Jika Allah berkehendak, Dia Mahakuasa untuk menciptakan semesta sekejap saja", tulis Imam Al Qurthubi, "namun Allah mengajarkan hamba-Nya tentang kelembutan dan ketelitian pada segala hal..."

Maka, kawan, hargailah proses. Di situ sabar dan syukurmu terasa sangat bermakna.

That's true, I'm literally stay watching Hannibal TV show for waiting when Calrice's time to come. Which isn't. And even my other ship Hannibal doesn't sail. Like am i wasting my one month to watch this show?

When I see Hanni*gram posts with quotes Hannibal said about/to Clarice

When I see posts about that shit version of Will being Hannibal’s soulmate

When I pretty much see any post about the tv show Hannibal

Fr

I like my headcanon that Boba would read some romantic poetry to Fennec and she would laugh at his face, but then she'd realize: "Oh shit, you're being serious. You actually love me? Are you sure? 🤨"

And Boba would be like: "You didn't like it? 🥺"

And Fennec, who does not like to show her feelings, would be like: "It's kinda... neat."

Hannibal - Bedelia’s point of view by FuriarossaAndMimma

OTP: people will say we're in love

Why I ship it |Well, I explained most of my reasons in this post, but I’ll run through some of the basics and try not to ramble. (“Let me explain…no, there is too much. Let me sum up.”)

Hannibal and Clarice need each other. They both have holes to fill in their lives, and chortle all you want about Starling’s “Electra complex,” but you know what? She still needs him. She doesn’t need a FATHER, she just needs SOMEONE. Hannibal is her someone, and she is his - she is his Mischa, if you will.

Hannibal heals Clarice. She had this deep resentment that even she wasn’t willing to face in terms of her father and his death, and ultimately, he frees her from that. He opens new doors for her. I don’t think he changes her so much as helps her grow and learn - always good things.

Hannibal is one of the only men in Clarice’s life who does not simply WANT her. I’m sure he finds her quite beautiful, but he has bigger concerns than her physical appearance. He doesn’t lust after her in the way that Krendler does. He wants to get inside her head, and he likes what he finds there. He respects her.

Clarice chooses Hannibal. She dreamt about him, cried over him, found him impossible to forget, and finally, she proved she was a match for him - “Why isn’t there a place for her in you?” She had the freedom to walk away, but she stayed.

Hannibal and Clarice save each other’s lives, but Clarice is never a “damsel in distress”; she can kick ass, and Hannibal only steps in when he must. What’s more, she is also totally capable of saving HIM. Literally.

Also because…

“Good-bye, Clarice. Will you let me know if ever the lambs stop screaming?” "Yes. Yes. Yes, I’ll tell you.“ “Do you promise?” "Yes.“ She reached across the barrier and took it. For an instant the tip of her forefinger touched Dr. Lecter’s. The touch crackled in his eyes.

"People will say we’re in love.”

“Orion is above the horizon now…I expect you can see it too. Some of our stars are the same. Clarice.”

“You are a warrior, Clarice.”

“Did you ever wonder, Clarice, why the Philistines don’t understand you? It’s because you’re the answer to Samson’s riddle: You are the honey in the lion.”

Should time reverse and teacups come together, a place could be made for Mischa in the world. The worthiest place that Dr. Lecter knew: Starling’s place.

“Between iron and silver. I think that is appropriate for you.”

“If I saw you every day, forever, I’d remember this time.”

“Hannibal Lecter, did your mother feed you at her breast?” … “You won’t have to give up this one.”

And a thousand other quotes, but I don’t want to go overboard.

I hope this all makes sense and isn’t rambling. It’s not all of the reasons, but I don’t know if I can properly articulate them all. They might be better said in the post I linked above.

Standing alone: Why I love Lin Beifong

(Spoilers, a very long piece of personal opinions and interpretations, ahead)

Let’s talk about Lin Beifong. And it’s kind of impossible to talk about Lin Beifong without talking about “LinZin”, but that’s the point. I remember her from way back in Season 1 Episode 6, “And the winner is”, when Lin’s voice and eyes soften when she tells Tenzin they are helping each other out at the Pro-Bending finals “like old times”. What a contrast that was, from the anger and coldness we saw from her before. I remember Lin asking Tenzin not to turn back when she jumps onto the Equalist airship for a battle to the death, all so Tenzin’s family has a chance to escape. I remember Lin turning her battle of words with Su to a real battle when Su flippantly brought up Tenzin in their argument. I know everyone has their own interpretation of the show, but I always thought it’s so painfully obvious that Lin hasn’t moved on from Tenzin, and I love LoK for showing us that despite all this, Lin can survive. 

There are too many stories – books, movies, TV shows – that focus on people finding the one, the one true love of their life, who will make their life and happiness complete. But what if the world doesn’t work like that? What if the world didn’t miraculously pair us all off for a happy ending? What are the stories of those people who end up alone for one reason or another? 

I love the “LinZin” story because it’s one of those stories. As far as I can tell, Lin’s separation from Tenzin was not rooted in a lack of love but differences in what they wanted in a future together. Tenzin wanted children. Lin didn’t. Perhaps they have always loved each other, but they won’t be happy together. In the end, they separated to pursue their own paths, and it doesn’t feel fair because Tenzin ends up with the family and Airbender legacy he wanted but Lin is still alone after all these years. And the loneliness bothers Lin. Lin, who withstood having her face scarred and her bending removed with determinedly dry eyes, broken down in tears when Korra reminds her that she is still a bitter, lonely woman. Although that happened during the “Metal Clan” episode, and the loneliness likely referred to Lin’s relationship with her family as well as her past with Tenzin, the fact still stands – Lin is alone, and she doesn’t really want to be. 

Unlike your typical relationship storyline, Lin’s romantic journey doesn’t end with Lin and Tenzin choosing their relationship over everything and everyone else, nor is about Lin resenting Tenzin for finding happiness with Pema, and nor is it about Lin finding love with someone else. It ends with Lin and Tenzin rekindling a friendship that probably defined their childhood, with the children of heroes becoming heroes in their own right, with two platonic friends fighting side by side to save the world. Lin chooses justice, kindness, and not to sacrifice the sense of self she held onto even as it drove her and Tenzin apart. Lin can bear the pain of losing a love, not by denying love or repeating it, but taking the best of it – the understanding, empathy, and camaraderie – and make something good out of that. Even though it takes a long time, Lin finds a place in the world despite her heartbreak. Maybe she will always feel the heartbreak in some parts of her, bur Lin’s life carries on in a meaningful, positive manner, even as she stands alone.   

(Toph and Suyin are no less pivotal figures in Lin’s story, but this post is getting too long as it is.) 

I love Lin’s story because in the end, it ends well even though it isn’t perfect. Her relationship with Tenzin is such a big part of her, yet she has to brave the emptiness and bitterness of being without him. She seems to have so much less, compared to Tenzin. She seems to have it so much harder, compared to Suyin. She ends up alone not because she wants to be alone, but because she didn’t find the right person with whom to share her life. Many villains in fiction have turned to the dark side for less.  And yet for all the horrible hands fate has dealt her, Lin comes out a hero. 

It takes strength to accept and bear the pain that will inevitably enter into our lives. It takes strength to stand alone in a world that focuses so much on the idea of romance and love. But that’s the kind of strength that helps Lin find peace in the world, and I think that’s the kind of strength that allows Lin the clarity to make decisions that make her a hero.
