It’s been a while since i have written something in my site, i guess one of the reasons is that im somehow dissapointed in myself. I have let myself down in many ways, that i wonder will i be able to fix what i have done wrong. I realized that i have been very lazy when it comes to working hard to gain more ajir, I have been away from Allah for a while now , a long long time. I don’t know how to boost my iman. I dont know how to rectify what i have done wrong. I know that it wouldnt take much to compensate what i lost by just trying but i still find myself too lazy to anything. It really upsets me to see how i have become, instead of getting stronger in faith and tryign to work hard to be a good role model for my child, i have deteriorated to the extreme . I need a strong push, a push that would keep me back on track again.

Being a mom isn’t an easy task, it’s a 24 on call duty. Even though it is exhausting but it’s a beautiful experience. We learn alot from this experience. We learn how to be patient and calm during the pain in labor, we learn how to be patient and calm when we have sleepless nights and we learn how we should be thankful to Allah for blessing us with this beautiful gift. Alhamdulillah. We become more responsible in our lives, because someone has entered this world depending on us. We find ourselves so attached to the little baby,worrying that something or someone might harm them. We worry because we see how vulnerable and innocent the little baby is. We should be reminded by our children how blessed we are for having this gift, we should be thankful to Allah…
اللهم لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك و عظيم سلطانك
اللهم باركلي في ابنتي و اجعلها من الصالحات

The hardest thing to go through in life, is when you are obliged to say goodbye to the one’s you love. Even if the good bye isnt forever, but still just by saying it you find yourself drowned by your tears and surrounded by sadness. You start realizing that a crucial part in you shall vanish or shall drift away from you after holding on to it very tightly. But when you come to think of it again, you ask yourself “what about those who leave their loved one’s to battle for islam?” or “those innocent people who have been killed and their families were forced to say good bye to them?”
how do you expect them to feel when they say good bye?
Many people tell you that you should be strong, yet you find yourself no matter how strong you try to be a tiny part in your heart remains vulnerable then this tiny part overpowers your heart and you find yourself fully weak.
Although not all goodbye’s mean death, or a negative separation. Some good bye’s could mean “see you next weekend” or “see you after the vacation”. However because of how close a person is to you, you refuse to give them up and let fate join you back again.
This is just a reminder to us all, that someday sometime we may lose a close person either voluntary or involuntary so we should seize every moment we spend with them..
May Allah forgive all Muslims

Birdie shed a tear and looked around her, looking at the people who have lost hope. She felt their pain and sorrow through their eyes, but she knew that If only they believed strongly that hope still existed then they wouldn’t be as sad as they are right now. Birdie walked like a lost child, wandering, not knowing where she was heading to. Everywhere she went she found a person crying, cursing hope and trying to stop themselves from dreaming. Birdie felt sad, so lost and so confused. Why are people so pessimistic? Why can’t they be optimistic about life? Why can’t they just let time tell?
As birdie walked quietly, between the crowds, she found a women holding onto something with her eyes closed so tightly. It was a weird moment.
Birdie moved closer to her and bent down, she kept looking at the woman, trying to figure out what she was focusing her mind on. She touched the woman so gently, the woman opened her eyes and looked at birdie and smiled so calmly. Birdie, out of a sudden, felt so secure, so ease inside and so calm. The woman’s eyes were glowing with happiness, joy and h hope.
Birdie and the lady just stared at each other for minutes, then the lady whispered “go.. You don’t belong here” Birdie didn’t want to let go of the woman’s hand. But she had to because the woman kept on repeating so gently “just go.. Hope is waiting” Birdie got up and walked away slowly, Then turned back to look at the woman because her existence there was so inevitable. As the time birdie turned to look at her, the last was gone, simply not there. Birdie smiled then shrugged and went on to the path that the woman had told her to take. The lady was like a beautiful diamond lost in a huge sea. As birdie kept walking, people around her kept looking at her strangely. Birdie paid them no attention and went on. She head people around her shout “there’s no hope! Give up!” Bride smiled sarcastically and continued walking. She believed deep down that hope is just one step away. She knew that her dreams will all come true; it is all just a matter of time. Life is like a battle field, in order to live, you should be able to compete and that was what birdie was doing. She learnt the art of war in order to fight people who try to let her lost hope. She knew that now nothing could stop her from fulfilling her dreams. She believed strongly that her Creator – Allah- would make her dreams come true, she only has to believe it more and more and hopefully her dreams will get fulfilled. Written on : 27/11/2005

In life, it is very normal for us to be in situations where different emotions arise. At times, you find yourself very mad at a close friend, upset from a family member or jealous from a stranger. Most emotions are uncontrollable. Emotions are found within every living thing, its inevitable.
However, not all people can express their feelings properly or decently.
Some people can tell the person who upsets them, that they hurt their feelings but sometimes people just lock things in their heart and expect time to heal it.
It is difficult to tell a person whom you care about that they have hurt you, or that they have broken your heart specially when that person is very close to you. You fear that you may hurt their feelings or just make things worse so you sit quietly and act as if nothing happened. Unfortunately, locking things in you isn’t the right solution, because you become more vulnerable by time and a time will come when you will simply collapse. Building up these feelings would not lead to a happy ending, but may destroy and harm you physically and psychologically.
Sometimes you would wish that there was some kind of an invention that would tell the person who hurt you how you feel exactly and tell them how deeply hurt you are, because you know that when you get the courage to express your feelings you simply mess up and make things worse.
Locking up your feelings may at times be good, but not always.
Unfortunately, In the long run it has a lot of consequences.

Peoples interference
Dont do this
say this to your husband
go out without your husbands approval
dont listen to your husband
These are the advises that you will be hearing a lot during marriage, specially in the first years of life. People tend to act like expertise where they believe that their package of advises will save your marriage where in reality they are putting a hole in your ship of marriage.
People shouldnt interfere in others marriage life, if they have something beneficial to say such as be an obedient wife, do as your husband says and dont go anywhere unless your husband approves then they should start talking. However, if they have a lot of non-sense to say than they should just stay away from people rather than ruining their life.
Unfortunately, many girls go with the flow and do as the others tell them to do, they do it because they think that listening to others will benefit them. What they should do is listen to Islamic scholars, lectures and read books. They should hear things from people who are expertise in such issues, they should follow the sunnah rather than follow women who barely know anything about Islam.
Marriage isnt a fairy tale, where only love surrounds you. Everything in life has ups and downs, even marriage. That is why if a woman faces difficulty in her marriage, she should take the critical steps, she should pray Allah to help her out, try to solve it by her self if not possible then seek help from those who are trustful. Dont go to a woman who hasnt talked to her husband for years for advice, nor go to a woman who is disobedient and disrespectful to her husband but go to the one who sweet talks her husband and follows the Islamic rules in her own kingdom.
Finally, I would like to advise people not to interfere in peoples personal life specially when it is a very sensitive issue. Try to help or support your friend in the right.

Many people, unfortunately, believe that money buys happiness and love. The more money you spend on them or give them the more they feel that you love them. Although It is true, that Islam encourages us to give gifts in order to get closer to people, but not to the extent that you may bribe the person or try to BUY their love and attention. It is somehow unethical. If you want to win someone over, it is by having a good heart and by caring for that person but not by giving them money and wait for them to treat you like a king or queen.
If that will be the case, that we let people buy our love by money, then what about those who have kind hearts yet don’t have much money? Would we NOT love them? Would we neglect them and go to those who have more money?
Life isn’t about money, but is about the value of things. Giving a gift to someone in order to show them how much you care or to let them know that you are sorry for a mistake that you have done isn’t wrong, Even if you give them money. I really pity those who try to buy people’s love and attention by throwing away their money, because once they are out of money those people whom they won their love by money may simply walk out of the door and let them love alone in misery.
My whole point is that give gifts or money to family members, friends or the poor in order to show them that you care but don’t do that just to win their love by the act or bribery.
May our intentions be for the Sake of Allah.
Ameen

Dear Friend,
I gaze at you, as if I am gazing at a total stranger. As if you and I were never friends. You talk to me as if I am your worse enemy and I tend to avoid you as if we were never once considered as sisters. I don’t understand why can’t you forgive me for the “change” I went through in life. No one consulted me about whether I wanted to ‘change’ or be the same, it happened without my will. It took me a while to realize how much I have changed and how negligent I have become to you. Maybe I have hurt you by my actions, but believe me it’s not like I wanted to. It happened uncontrollably.
We know that as Muslims we should forgive others, we should find in our heart a place for forgiveness, because if we don’t forgive then this life would be built only on hatred. This is Satan’s way to make us get apart, to throw our friendship down the drain. You may think that you are the victim in this whole issue, yet what about me? Only Allah himself knows what I went through and that I am a victim too.
We shouldn’t always look at the past and remember the mistakes that people have done, but what we should do is focus on how to improve things and avoid the mistakes done in the past.
Although they have always told us that “you can’t always fix a broken glass”, however I disagree. Even though we may not be able to remove away the cracks on the broken glass, but we will be able to fix it and put the pieces back together.
I’m writing this letter hoping that you would be a little bit considerate, and not let Satan control your actions.
Yours sincerely,
Candle of hope
May Allah forgive all Muslims
Ameen
A letter to my visitors: We humans are hasty in judgments’, all what I ask from you is to understand the persons point of view and try to be considerate before judging them wrongly. Forgive those who ask you for forgiveness.

As a little child, when you used to receive your report card and find out that you got high grades, you would run as fast as you could to spread out the news so that everyone around you would congratulate you and share your joy. Even now, as we grow older, this is still within us. The more you share your happy news with people the more you feel happy. However, as a child when you go back home with good grades and no one seems to care, this situation would de-motivate you and would easily tear out the happiness in your heart. Instead of you celebrating your good achievement, you would feel upset because no one cared to share your happiness and joy. I don’t know why sometimes, the people close to you become so “cold” emotionally, specially when they know that their happiness places a crucial role in your life. What even hurts the most is when people who aren’t so close to you are the ones who are truly happy for you. As Muslim brothers and sisters, we should always share the happiness and joy of each other. specially when we know that our happiness for them would put a BIG smile on their face. No matter what the situation was, you should still be happy for your friend as long as they aren’t doing something that Allah has forbidden..
If you would like people to be happy for you, then be happy for people.. As our Prophet - Peace Be Upon Him – mentioned:
عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه خادم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : ( لايؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه ) ، رواه البخاري و مسلم .
I would like to congratulate my friends for their wedding ^_^ May Allah bless you with a happy life after marriage.. Ameen

Nothing in life remains unchanged, everything around you changes, whether it has a slight or huge change.. The path you follow, the people you are with, the life you live and the ones you care about.. It all changes because “change” lies within each and everything that is on earth.. change is a word that all people fear.. because we don’t what the consequences would be.. Yet we accept it sometimes because we have no other choice..
The changes we go through life may be hard for us to accept, yet the only choice we have is to accept it and be obedient to Allah because Allah himself knows what’s best for us…
May all the changes we go through be for our benefit.. Ameen

Lately, I have been going through a lot.. Been having a lot of health problems.. Two days ago when I went to the hospital I was diagnosed with some kind of health problem.. All what I can say is alhamdulillah ala kulee hal..
I haven’t been like how I was before.. Been very lazy, tired, weak and very pessimistic..
I don’t know why? The doctor told me that what triggered the health problem was stress.. and yes I have been stressed out a lot lately.. but from what.. I don’t know..
Today on my way home, I tried to compare myself with those who have severe diseases..I did that in order to be thankful to Allah that my problem isn’t as severe as others..
Alhamdulillah ala kulee hal..
I sometimes think that maybe the reason of all these problems is because I have been very distant from Allah,,, haven’t been doing a lot of good deeds..
or maybe it’s a test from Allah to see my patience…
InshaAllah I get over this problem soon..
Please make dua’a for me.. and for all the Muslims who need your prayers.
