Sometimes, when two people fight you suddenly find your self in the middle of the fight..
Who let you interfere?
The answer is simple, the two people..
From shock and the sudden interference you would find yourself speechless and out of reactions..
You would just stand still, eyes wide open and instead of hearing the common words that come out of their mouth, you would simply hear GIBBERISH, nothing but gibberish..
And the worst part is when each one of them would ask you for your opinion and tells you to judge the whole scene but you just can’t answer because you wouldn’t be able to handle hurting one of them..
Even though the truth should be spoken..
But you would feel as if you have swallowed sharp rose stems.. I am really against Fights, specially when it comes to parents..
Both spouses should take in consideration that their fight, tone, hatred for each other would affect their child negatively..
Having a huge fight would never lead to anything, a nice conversation would lead to several solutions.. 

I believe that people should not involve others in their arguments unless they are trying to reach a solution and keep failing that, but proving who’s right and who’s wrong may not always be the best solution.

She smiled that night with rejoice 
Knowing that she had no other choice 
The pain in her eyes was revealed 
Though she said that she got healed
Her eyes could reflect the sadness and remorse
In order to fool me she had to take a special course
I knew that night that the time has come
Because she told me not to let my pain over come
I hoped that it was all just a dream
Because her smile made me lose me self esteem
Moments later, I knew she traveled a thousand mile
I knew about her death through her peaceful smile

The first thing that comes to people’s mind when the hear the words “Islamic lecture” is BOREDOM!
It’s funny how people judge an Islamic lecture before even attending it, but once you tell a person about a new mall or a movie.. You’ll find them in the beginning of the queue..
They don’t even get the same expression about the movie being boring.. but they tend to explore it.. Whereas the lecture, they tend to ignore it!
I really wish that people would do the same when it comes to lecture..
It really upsets me how people would make unbelievable excuses in order to ditch the lecture Ok, Ok.. I won’t deny that I was one of the girls who used to ditch islamic lectures in school.. but believe me I regret it alot, cos I know what I have missed..

When I say “Islamic Lecture”, Don’t picture it as it consisting of an angry strict lecturer that shouts at his/her audience.. No No No!
To be honest, it depends on the person who’s having the lecture..

I’m the type that doesn’t go to any lecture, yet I try my best not to judge until I attend the lecture..

I started attending a lecture, since I don’t recall when, and the lecture is amazing.. seriously!
The woman who lectures us is a woman who knows how to reach into the heart of her audience..
She knows how to convince us about what’s wrong and right..
She’s like a mother, sister and friend..
believe me I’m not exaggerating..Alhamdulillah her lectures aren’t strictly “DEAD SERIOUS” but you can say her islamic lectures are interesting, funny, serious and heart touching..
She talks about family issue’s, teenage problems, mothers problems, our beloved prophet , how to get closer to Allah and what paths to follow..Anyway, the reason of this long introduction is because i would like the girls to attend a lecture in Masjid Mohammad al shaikh in AL twar - on the opposite road of Al twar center..
the lecture is held every wednesday from 5:30 until al maghrib prayer..
Our lecturer is Aunt Widad Lootah *most of you are aware of her*

The only thing I want from all you visitors is to attend just one lecture, only one.. After that you can think about whether you would like to attend continuously or simply stop.. but please, think of it from this way, that you will be gaining ajir inshaAllah..  

If you would like to know more about the lecture , dont hesitate to contact me..

It was late at night when someone came knocking on my door. Someone knocking my door at this time!
As I opened it, I found my little sister (my princess) crying..
My heart started to skip some beats..
I asked her what made her cry.
she looked at me, while her tears were racing down her cheeks.. Then she spoke, saying ” I’m afraid that I may not wake up tomorrow”
I didn’t quiet understand what she meant by those words, then again she said ” I’m afraid that when I sleep tonight I won’t wake up tomorrow” and she ended her sentence with more tears..
When she finished her sentence, I understood what she meant.
I let her in my room and hugged her tightly so that she would feel my love for her, then she said “I fear that I die tomorrow, I fear that Allah has written my name down so that I won’t wake up tomorrow”
I turned on the Quran, in order to let her relax, then talked to her about the children that go to paradise and so on..
but still, I could see the fear in her eyes.
We kept talking and talking.. Until she calmed down and went to sleep..

I didn’t know how to react when I first heard what she said because I was so shocked from what I was hearing..
The way she said those words, the way the fear sparked in her eyes, made me speechless..  For a moment there, I felt that the Earth stopped rotating!
Her words were harsh.

Even though death is something we can’t escape. But hearing those words from my little princess was very hard on me specially that she is “my little princess”
It is enough that I can’t handle it when I think that I may wake up someday knowing that my sister passed away. Even though, as a Muslim, I should accept this because it is by the will of Allah. But it is because of the love I carry for my little princess makes it difficult for me to imagine that happening..

subhanAllah..
A young child fears death, when she has nothing to fear.. While we …….. I leave the blanks for you and I to fill because each and every one of us knows what she/he has or is doing wrong..

I sometimes wonder, what if one day a man proposes to me and I knew that his father was a drug addict and is in jail..
shall I tell the guy to get lost?
or shall I save my self from people’s tongue and say “NO!”
or shall I give the poor guy a chance?I mean, I know we should pray al istikhara, but let’s take it from the non-religious perspective for a sec. It would be a very difficult decision.
When I come to think of it, at the end I would be marrying the guy and not his family. Just because his father is or was a drug addict does not mean that the world has come to an end.
The guy might be on his best manners, best behavior…. In other words he may be the man of my dreams.Why should the immature action of his father be a barrier between the man and marriage?I am really against this non sense thinking.

(sorry for that but it’s just not logic!)
People should not judge others from their family names, family history, and family mistakes.
They should only judge the person whom they will get married to because as I said previously, they won’t marry the whole family. 
Our beloved Prophet Mohammad Salla Allahu Alaihe Wa Sallam married Safiya bint huyay and her father was Jewish.
He did not refuse to marry her, even though her father considered our beloved Prophet as an enemy..
SubhanALlah..

Where are we from our Prophet Salla ALlahu Alaihe Wa Sallam?

I can’t believe how people nowadays care about the simplest most unimportant thing when it comes to marriage..  Please to all the girls and guys out there. Never judge a person before knowing him or her. I mean ask about the one you want to marry, it’s not a hard task, it’s not like I told you to go hire a spy. Simply ask about him/her in his neighborhood, work, and Masjid.

As they always say “Don’t judge a book by its cover”
