**wow...that's something to really think about..
most of us are never happy with what we have & we are so wrapped up in ourselves that we fail to see others around us who have it so much worse..

thanks for sharing.**

Thanks for sharing this..really we tend to forget that their are other ppl in this world with worse problems than us and out silly pimples...

I am so grateful for Allah for giving me the body I have...and the life that I have too..even though I crib sometimes about my life...I jst watch TV and it reminds me that my problems are miniscule compared to some of the things ppl have to go through everyday of their life.

Wow you are so right.

I am so obsessed with clear skin. People always tell me I have beautiful skin Mashallah but I am never satisfied with it. If I even get 1 tiny pimple on my face its the end of the world for me and I usually end up going to my Esthetician to get it professionally extracted. I have one on my skin right now (its hardly noticeable) and it bothered me when it first came out but now I'm just going to leave it and be so thankful to Allah that I look normal.

The person I have seen with this problem is also a hostel warden...we may be talking about the same person?

Re: Cant forget what I saw - Please read ..

i found it interesting that most ppl replied to this post with 'i read this and i thank allah to what i have' - what do you guys really think that allah specifically chose this person to have these lesions (sounds possibly like neurofibromatosis) because she was bad or something?

im not starting a religious debate but you know what i mean

27

Alhamdulillah indeed, I knew a lady doctor who was going through something like this, and I really admired her for her confidence and courage to face others especially with the way people tend to treat you and look at you.

jubjub, I don't think anyone's saying that this happened to them because they did something bad, but what it does is reminds us to be grateful to Allah swt, that we need to stop worrying about petty things and that it could happen to any of one of us. No religious aspects to this at all.

Re: Cant forget what I saw - Please read ..

so true!

I don't think anyone felt it happened to her because of something she did, it's just a wake-up call for those obsessed with every pimple, dimple, wrinkle. crinkle..

Maybe.
My senior registrar told her not to get married as her children have a chance of getting the disease.
I think that was wrong of him, she should have a chance at love and life, everyone deserves that.

neurofibramatosis is genetic, sometimes it arises spontaneously with no family history, due to genetic mutations before you are even born, anyone of us can easily have the disorder as the next person. its not really a debilitating disease, just ugly and very much in-your-face than something sinister and hidden. These people deserve moral support. Not everyone has the courage to do that.

Not everything "bad" that happens to you is punishment for something you do

It could be a test to see if you are patient and thankful and remain true to Allah ..or turn away from Him

It could be a blessing in disguise; maybe through this "bad" thing you are able to come closer to Allah whereas had it not have happened, you might have been a totally different person who was far away from Allah

Maybe it is a hardship for you to go through for purification and forgiveness of your sins

No one is saying she was bad and was being punished. But it gives us a reminder, than we have so much to be grateful for and yet we never stop complaining

I came across this thread now. Thanks for posting it! I hope Allah swt relieves her of her pain. I too pray all of us can stop obsessing over our looks and just thank Allah for it all some times.
