I've just been thinking ...*shock, horror*
that its been 3 years since I joined LI...I was just reminiscing and thinking of the ways in which it has benefited me; if at all- and whether I could have gained the same or equal benefit offline.
Hmm, the answer is no. Simply because this forum has taught me tolerance and compassion. Tolerance in the sense that I'd not converse with as many non-muslims in a week offline, that I would online. And LI has taught me compassion...SubhanAllah we see so many members on this board with problems, difficulties and dilemma's. We know that a believer is the mirror of a believer, which is why we try our utmost to help each other out.
LI has taught my many things, but above all its taught me how to be strong when one is feeling down. To never despair of the mercy of Allah (swt) and most importantly, that Allah (swt) does not overburden any soul. I've learnt this and thats probably why I like to post in the Advice and Support forum.
LI has been there for me during my 'down-times'....(although they probably didnt know, thanks to the anonymous account *grin*). But yeah, looking back- although I've left this forum a number of times...I always find myself coming back to it. No forum can beat it in my opinion, I've joined several others and one of them turned out to be the biggest fitnah of the cyber world :skeleton: SubhanAllah...
So yeah...LI has been great for myself and for my Imaan, although it too has had its 'down-times' with fitnah creeping in here and there.
But yeah...what has LI done for you? Hmmm
WassalamuAlaykum
