March and Family
Am I the only one that is relieved that February is over? It seemed like it was lasting forever this year. Don’t ask me why I hate February, I don’t know why. I just do. Lol. Welcome March! Although I would very much like you to leave so I can welcome my favorite month…
Here’s another repost of an old post.

I was thinking about the importance of Silat ar-Rahm recently and how many cases of people there are, who cut off relations with their families. More specifically, I was thinking about how Allah cuts off those who cut off the family relations.
To illustrate it, a person may cut off relations with a family member and in doing so, that person will avoid anything to do with that famly member: they’ll move to a different city (and this has happened), they’ll change all their contact info so that this family member can never contact or find them (and this has happened), they’ll change jobs, change communities, basically cut themselves off from their previous lifestyle all so that they can avoid this family member. Sometimes, it gets so bad, that a family will refuse to go to the masjid, all because they want to avoid so and so whom they cut off relations with.
It’s really sad but it happens. Seeing this “cutting off” take place before my eyes I really understood the impact of Allah cutting off relations with you. It’s even more amazing how many people belittle this major sin as if it’s nothing and they hold grudges for years and years, until even death.
May Allah strengthen and have mercy on those who have families who have abandoned them, rejected them, and cut off relations with them. And may Allah guide those families to repentance and join the relations which were broken, Ameen.
interesting, why does everyone hate feb! i love that month, it passes by so quickly!
Good reminder, I had to first prepare myself from the shock incase i did any of
the following you were to mention.
But Alhamdullah I try to keep in touch with family. And it’s not easy when you hav a big one
btw-is ur fav month April? lol im guessing why! it’s a rainy month though!
@Dania I’m not sure – have you ever disliked something and not known why? That’s how it is with me and Feb lol
@Hamdia: Ofcourse it’s my favorite month, its my birthmonth (yes i made that up), and the birthstone for April is a diamond, and it means that spring has offically started.
But the biggest reason why I like it is the rain!
But you already knew that, or should have. Lol
Yeah i know y u lyk april! lol
btw its gunna b a real tuff one for me to WANT to have anythng to do with family, but dont worry, if its anything we do in my family, its fight. and that happens ALL THE TIME. so ya i dont think its possible to cut off completely.
wudda bout u?
