My friend and I were having a flashback of the days we spent in school, subhanAllah.. It’s unbelievable how time passes by so quickly.. it’s been more than 3 years since i finished high school.. been three years since my friends and i sat beside each other.. subhanAllah..
been a long time.. I can’t forget the times where we used to share our laughters, joy and sadnesses together.. seriously, we were like one family..
I remember how we always used to read Quran on the carpet in the classroom, encouraging each other to finish the whole Quran during ramadan..
now, after the years my friends and I spent together, we finally got separated..
Each and every person followed her own path, her own dreams and her own ambitions..
we barely see each other due to our busy life.. 

As i remembered the wonderful days we spent in school, a tingly feeling struck my heart.. the feeling of sadness.. and the feeling of a child who doesnt want to let go of his mommy on his first day of school..
the memory of the old days made me think about the day when I will really let go of my friends and take a very different path.. a unique path.. a path where i will never see my friends, family or foe’s ever again..

if now, in the dunya we all went in different paths, what about the day when we all die?
we will certainly never see each other again.. not even in a million years in the dunya..

remembering such things brings, at times, sadness to me.. because i think.. time is passing by quickly so what have i prepared for my hereafter?

I really miss the school days.. I miss the fun.. subhanAllah..
time’s ticking hastily while we are doing nothing to benefit ourselves in our graves..

 May Allah forgive all muslims..

I was blessed with everything a guy ever wanted; money, beauty and so on. Even though I had it all yet I asked for more.
The greed in me made me dig for more things like a hungry wolf digging into the flesh of his prey.
I neglected a crucial factor which was thanking Allah” for his blessings.
It never came to me that my greed would someday make me a trap.
It wasn’t until I heard the news about gambling; when I was told that I could gain triple the money I owned now. The word “triple the amount” blinded me in a way that made me risk my money and gamble.
I gambled alot until I finally became an addict, hoping that I would be a millionaire, neglecting the fact that my greed was leading me towards a path that Allah has forbidden.
I finally made the decision to gamble on my house and car.
I didn’t put in mind that I would lose it all in a glimpse, because I was blinded by greed. I gambled first, second and third time yet I didn’t win any money.
I was so frustrated, so I gambled for the last time. Unfortunately, I lost everything I owned in fractions of a second; my money, house and cars.
I was devastated.
I didn’t expect that my greed for being a millionaire would lead me to a path that Allah has forbidden nor expected that I would lose everything I ever owned.

I have noticed lately that a lot of girls have been running away from home, I wonder where they got this habit from. I believe it’s because of how much people got addicted to the movies and to the westerners behaviors, in which they believe that running away from home opens the door towards freedom and joy.
 I find it hard to understand how a girl would leave her nest (home) and live in the wilderness (outside home) where instead of being treated like a princess, she gets treated as nothing. To her running away from home may resemble bravery but it doesn’t. Running away from home, leaving the two people that love her the most worried would not lead her towards happiness. Instead she will be living a misery. If a girl wants to be happy she should please her parents and honor them rather than be a burden on them and let shame haunt them.
Running away from home proves that the girl can’t face her problems and fears; instead she is running away from it rather than dealing with it.
How can a girl be strong enough to let go of the parents who raised her, who have provided her with a haven, food and clothes and who have loved her more than anything.
It is really heart breaking to see that many Muslims are following the steps that should be avoided, how the media plays with their minds and manipulates their logical way of thinking and how people are slowly letting go of Islam. Very tragic.
You wonder sometimes whether people do things because it’s for their own good, such as running away from home because of being abused by parents, or because they find it “cool” and very “smart”.
I really don’t know what’s going on with the Muslims nowadays, behaving, thinking talking like a non-Muslim.. Believe me running away from home isn’t a solution to your problems girls but is a crisis.. You will bring shame to your family, would be a disobedient daughter and would not do as what Islam asked us to do to be good Muslims.
May Allah forgive all Muslims, both the dead and the living.
 Ameen.

You meet people each day, some who look decent and some that wear half naked clothes, you start wondering shall I judge them on how they wear or shall I judge them on who they really are. Unfortunately many people, including myself, at times would judge people quickly without even knowing them personally; maybe it’s because of the way we were raised. We have been raised in a way that people in category A are bad, whereas people in category B are ok. To be honest categorizing people in such way; according to dress, nationality, gender isn’t always right. We shouldn’t always judge people because at times it may lead to discrimination and we don’t want that to happen. 

I have met many people that look very sweet, innocent and kind but when you get to know them better you would realized that you were deceived. 

We should always take this quote in consideration “don’t judge a book by its cover” and we should always remember that “looks can be deceiving”.
We should always try to know what lies beneath the looks of a person, because personalities aren’t always seen because it’s intangible. 

Just because a person isn’t from the same country as you are, doesn’t make them worse and doesn’t make you any better. 

We should try to work hard on fixing this flaw in order to spread peace, if we as Muslims aren’t able to think before judging then how shall we gain victory?
