After searching for bodies of the martyrs in one of the areas of Syria, the fighters came across the body of a 16 year old boy who had been killed. They found in his pocket a small notebook, in which he used to write his sins during the week; if only we could call them sins:
Monday: I slept without wudhu.
Tuesday: I laughed in a loud voice.
Wednesday: I prayed nightprayer fast.
Thursday: When we were playing and I scored a goal, I felt pride.
Friday: I didn’t recite 1000 salutations on the Prophet salallahu aleyhi wa sallam, and only reached 700.
Saturday: I forgot morning dhikr.
Imagine this is what he thought were sins. We are carrying on everyday with our sinful lives and do not give a second thought to these actions.

May Allah ﷻ guide us to be amongst the righteous, to humbly live in remembrance of our purpose of pleasing him.
People questioned her chastity- and most likely shamed and questioned her.
Allah swt told Maryam PBUH to not speak to anybody
That is when baby Isa a.s spoke from the cradle and defended his mother, also explaining he was a messenger of Allah swt.
Allah swt knew Maryam pbuh didn’t do any adultery. And obviously if someone came to you today and accused you of committing a crime you didn’t, the first thing you would do is try to clear your name.
Yet Maryam PBUH was ordered not to speak to anybody. And look at the miracle. Her baby spoke for her!
Today we feel lonely- people say bitter things to us, we might be correct even, but be patient. God has a plan for you.

Surah Maryam (19:26):
“So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease. But if you see any of the people, say, ‘I have vowed silence1 to the Most Compassionate, so I am not talking to anyone today.’”
Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.
