Purity in Truth

 Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 30, Number 97:

Narrated Abu Huraira: If I saw deers grazing in Medina, I would not chase them, for Allah’s Apostle said, “(Medina) is a sanctuary between its two mountains.”  

I came across this hadith whilst browsing through the books of Bukhari and it made me smile. Yet I was also filled with a sense of yearning. Difficult times have forced me to turn and run from my current circumstances. What better place to head toward than the sanctuary of Madinah?? If grazing deers were safe in those times then how content and soothed shall the violent tides of my mind be? We all long for peace and tranquillity. But, are we always granted such bliss? Rarely.

Islam answers yet again.

Allah hu Akbar!
