			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I stopped my car in the middle of nowhere and felt the urge to take a deep breath , my mind was blank and i couldnt think of anything. i didnt know where i was or what i wanted. All what i knew is here is where i had to be. I looked  around me and saw myself surrounded by beautiful tree&#8217;s, i saw my self being showered under the beautiful sun shine. it felt good. I got out of my car and started breathing, clamly and quitetly. trying to feel every breath go inside and fill my lungs. I felt relaxed. A cold breeze touched my skin and i felt a sudden chill. I have been wanting to come here a long time but couldn&#8217;t. i just never seemed to find the right time. I took a walk , heading towards where ever my feet took me to and found myself infront of a huge water fall. i felt like running with maximum speed and jump off the cliff with my arms wide open and go deep into the river and shower myself with the breath taking waterfall. i stood there and gazed at the water, saw the fish swim with joy. This scene made me smile, this place took away my stress, my pain and my fear. I sat there for hours , doing nothing just enjoying the music of the waterfall and humming along with the singing birds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I look out the window and see little kids playing around, their laughter fills the area with joy and happiness. Yet, i find them enjoying their moments with people other than their parents, people such as their nanny&#8217;s and housemaids. So i stop and ask myself, will i be like that? will i let someone else steal away the glorious moments with my kids? will i let someone else replace me as a mom? or is that i am too &#8220;over protected&#8221; that its not actually a big deal.<br />
I wonder will i be a good mom? will i put my childrens needs infront of my needs? will i be dedicated to them?<br />
Are there moms who never depended on housemaids to help them raise their kids? <br />
I really cant stop thinking of this issue. Every time i look at my baby, I thank Allah for blessing me with such great gift and then wonder, will i be a good mother?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day, we look back in time and see the changes we went through., First we were kids, grew up, got our college degree , got married , built a family and life still is going on. We tend to stop for  a second and ask ourselves &#8220;what have we achieved in all those years that passed by&#8221;. We ask our self , &#8220;have we influenced someone positively&#8221;, &#8221; have we worked for the hereafter&#8221;, &#8220;have we done what we were told to as muslims&#8221;. We find outselves stuck, having difficulty answering these questions since we have unfortunately devoted our lives to the dunya and neglected the hereafter. When i see how quick time passes and how i have achieved nothing, i realize that nothing is left in time. So i should work now , because if i postpone then i know i shall regret. specially since we cant turn back time. Life will go on and so will our opportunities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #993366;">It&#8217;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&#8217;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.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Being a mom isn&#8217;t an easy task, it&#8217;s a 24 on call duty. Even though it is exhausting but it&#8217;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&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;">اللهم لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك و عظيم سلطانك</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;">اللهم باركلي في ابنتي و اجعلها من الصالحات</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008080;">You fake a smile, to show them that you are ok and nothing is wrong but in reality you are a wreck from inside. your heart is shattered into pieces and your bleeding from inside. You can&#8217;t show them how hurt you are because you know that they wont understand, they wont listen to you. You get up and head towards the door, quietly to avoid catching anyone&#8217;s attention. You open the door and walk, it seems like the path you&#8217;re taking has no end, but it doesnt matter to you. All what you want to do is escape, run away and be on your own. So you go on with your voyage, walking in an endless path. The sun rays seem to refresh you, the air seems to clear your airway and the birds singing clears your hearing. You then find yourself bumping into a wall, a wall that seems to be blocking yourpath towards freedom. so you sit there and gaze, hoping that by waiting the wall would break by itself.  So you sit and wait, hearing the time tick and seeing the days go by just waiting for the wall to collapse rather than breaking it by yourself&#8230;&#8230;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 	 	 --></p>
<p>Its not easy when people start questioning you,, start to question your abiility In doing things. They sometimes make you feel<strong> incompetent</strong>, make you feel like a<strong> loser</strong>. They doubt your abilities in everything and say it out loud, or may sometimes hint it to you. They may even tell others and change people&#8217;s impression about you. They don&#8217;t realize that by this behavior they are <strong>breaking you down</strong>, and make you feel <strong>weaker and weaker</strong>. To them , those words that come out of their mouths may seem normal or not harmful, but it can make great damage to one&#8217;s inner self. People would start to have doubts about themselves, they would feel that they no longer have confidence in them. That is why people should be careful in choosing their words and in criticizing others. Not everything goes the way people want, each person navigates things the way they see is right. Which means people don&#8217;t have the right to question you, specially If what you&#8217;re doing is right.</p>
<p>We should realize that sometimes people&#8217;s words may be behind the destruction of others, you should look at one&#8217;s good side rather than their flaws. You shouldn&#8217;t keep stepping on their self esteem. It&#8217;s not easy when a person questions you as a mother, or questions your ability as a housewife or as a friend. They think that you know nothing, not because you actually don&#8217;t know anything but because they refuse to see that you are good in what you are doing.</p>
<p>We shouldn&#8217;t judge people based on our assumption, Allah will question us about this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 	 	 --></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not easy for a mother to hear that her child has passed away, no matter how old her child was the pain would still exist. The mother would feel as if someone ripped&#8217; out her heart, while some would feel that a part of them no longer exists. Once you hear the news about your babys death, you&#8217;d feel as if the world has come to an end. You would start crying thinking about the little baby who lied dead within you. Even if the evidence was there, you would try in anyways to prove the doctor wrong. In such situation one should say &#8216;الحمدلله على كل حال، قدر الله وماشاء فعل</p>
<p>To new mothers, hearing the words &#8220;<strong>dead</strong>&#8221; , &#8220;<strong>no heartbeat</strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>no growth</strong>&#8221; isnt something they would want to hear, all what they are looking for is to hear that the &#8220;<strong>little baby is fine&#8221;</strong>.<br />
ALot of mothers nowadays tend to get abortion as soon as they realise that they are pregnant. Some think its easy to murder the child while its still too early. While others think it would end their misery of having to be responsible for another child. They don&#8217;t think about the consequences in the judgment day, neither do they think about the innocent baby. All they think about is their rest and relaxation. Allah has blessed you with this child, a gift that many women are deprived of. ALot of married women pray Allah daily to bless them with a child, but they find themselves infertile or they baby would simply die in their womb at an early stage by Allahs will.<br />
A mother should be thankful that Allah has given her the chance to hear the word &#8220;mom&#8221; while others pass away before getting the chance to hear it. We shouldn&#8217;t think about ourselves only, but should think about the punishment we will received in judgment day for killing an innocent soul for our own comfort.</p>
