What’s Your Purpose?

I recently had a conversation with one of my closest friends. My girl Ameerah, was venting on how she ended a friendship with her friend Amina. Let me tell you guys a brief history on their friendship first. They are both African American Muslims. They were friends ever since they were in elementary school. They were family friends and they went to the same schools. They went to the same private Muslim school. They both dealt with discrimination from their Muslim peers, because those peers didn’t see them as “true Muslims” and only less than a handful accepted them. So yes life as an African American Muslim was hard for them as children. Fortunately, they had their families and each other. BUT, let me telllll you about this shit that went down!

Yes grab a snack yalll!

So my girl Ameerah has a handsome son named Khalil. She had him by some shitface, yes that’s his name. Anywho, my girl went through a lot of shit in her life, so I was so joyful when she found a wonderful man in her life! They got married a couple of months back, and he is a dope ass father figure in her sons life! I can talk about that all day, but let’s get to the bullshit story.

When Amina found out Ameerah was getting married, she asked her “are you having a Muslim wedding?” Ya bitch that’s none of your damn business you gonna show up?!! No, my girl did not say that. My girl is a sweetheart, so she said “well Iman Zaki is gonna do the wedding ceremony” btw Idk the imam’s name so I made it up.

Anywhoooo her so called friend did not show up to the wedding, and ya shit happens but whatever. Not only did she not show up to the wedding, which was damn 15 minutes away, but didn’t even say congratulations! Since they have been friends for so long Ameerah decided to reach out to her. Her friend Amina didn’t have time to meet up with my girl Ameerah,cuz she’s such a busy person trying to cure cancer, aids, and many incurable shit. Y’all should look that chick up! She’s on the Encyclopedia Britannica. You’ll find her under shady ass brauds pretending to cure diseases etc. So I was like ok Ameerah what are you gonna do? she’s like “IDK I’ll just set up a phone date with the bitch (no she didn’t call her a bitch, I did tho)

You guys can tell how damn annoyed I was with that friend of hers!

So she finally talked to her friend and was like “yo what’s up with you acting all funky n shit with me (I’m paraphrasing)?”

Amina had the damn audacity to say some bullshit like “ammmmm yah, well to be honest with you, I chose not to go to the wedding and I didn’t want to support you sinning marrying a guy that didn’t comvert n all I don’t want to support that sin” “oh and Allah is gonna question me n ask me why I supported you sinning” <—- that’s not me paraphrasing btw.

Okay this girl was serious y’all! With no hesitation this chic said “Allah is gonna ask me why I supported your sin.” First of all who the fuck are you for God to ask YOU about another person’s sin?!! In what after damn life does this shit happen?! So I told my girl “yo this braud is straight up bullshiting you! She didn’t want to go to the wedding she didn’t want to congratulate you to begin with. I’m sorry but your friend is damn jealous” “your sin is YOUR sin, nobody is getting punished for YOUR sin. If that is a sin to begin with it’s none of her damn buisness!” I was livid when she told me this, and I was hurt for her. I mean this girl has been her friend for pretty much most of her life. I’m gonna get to the point of my blog.

What is your purpose? What purpose do you serve ?

I asked her, I was like “Ameerah, did she help your psyche when you were younger back then?”

Ameerah said “omg You have no idea how much she helped, it was just me, and her that seemed to go through the same shit of not being accepted as Muslim sisaz in the Muslim community.”

So I said, so she made you feel welcomed n she made you feel like you belong? Ameerah said “YES!! You know my school was full of Pakistanis and Arabs that discriminated against me so bad” “girl I told you so many stories of the crap I used to go through with them!”

I get it, I honestly do BUT this shows you that Amina had a purpose in your life. Maybe God put her in your life, because you needed somebody back then to make you feel like you fit in, like you belong, she was someone you can relate to,and you felt like you were cut from the same cloth. I asked her if she feels as though she doesn’t belong and thankfully she said that she feels comfortable in her own skin, she’s become this confident and strong lady and that she’s in a good place. I told her, Ameerah that’s it! Your friend or used to be friend served her purpose in your life, and you served a purpose in her life (I would hope). Ameerah you don’t need her in your life anymore.”

So every person serves a purpose in your life, even if you meet them for a few minutes, they may give you a different perspective in life. It made me honestly think of all the individuals that had somewhat of an affect in my life. Some had a huge impact into my life that I will thank them for it. Some played a negative role n my life, which I never want to experience again.

Thank the people that played a role in your life. Thank all the bumb bitch niggaz, for making you stronger, and showing you what a bitch nigga is so you can run fast as hell!

Thank your haters, their purpose was to increase your confidence, and know you a bad bitch

Oh and MOST importantly say thank your true ride or die bitches! Cuz life is fun and bearable with them in your life!

I’ll end this all with stay blessed, be kind to one another cuz you’ll never know what struggles the person is going through in life!
