Re: Estranged Siblings
**Allah looks at your intentions and then at your deeds…if you try your best you have fulfilled Allah’s commands. you have to keep doing it. for instance, send them greetings on occasions, go to see them regularly, you keep doing the right thing…your ego should NOT come in the way. if they get a restraining order against you then you stop and then you are ‘surKh roo’ … you must NOT hold any grudges…yes, it’s hard but that’s where the challenge lies and remember one thing…you are doing this to fulfill your duty as a Muslim to please Allah.
i’ve done that…my family has done that…in spite of the bad things my cousin did, we had a ‘cold war’ for years and then my father before he passed away once told us to forgive and forget and re-establish relationships for the sake of Allah…and, we did! … now, we have good relations, alHamdolillah.**
