Please keep us in your ad`iyah
Bismillaah
We’re all pretty sick (or getting there). I am very sick and have so many tasks to finish, my husband has his finals coming up, Layth has a bad cough and I have a baby due next month insha’Allaah. Please make du`aa’ for us all and the upcoming baby if you can in your prostrations, spare [...]In and Out of Reality
Bismillaah
I was browsing, looking for new blogs on people’s links and I came across brother NaseehaMan’s blog. His blog, comics, posts are all still online but he isn’t: he is gone. It just suddenly ‘hit’ me that he is dead but at the same time I feel confused. I feel the exact same way when I think of my [...]Brother Waleed Shalaan: A Victim of the Virginia Tech Shooting
Bismillaah
You go about your daily things, just like any other day and then suddenly your life ends. It’s a reminder for us all that every day of our lives should be lived as if it were our last and that preparing ourselves, our families etc… for it is something we have to think about now. [...]Guidance and a Child
Bismillaah
يَا أَيّÙهَا الَّذÙينَ آمَنÙواقÙوا Ø£ÙŽÙ†ÙÙسَكÙمْ وَأَهْلÙيكÙمْ نَارًا ÙˆÙŽÙ‚ÙودÙهَا النَّاس٠وَالْØÙجَارَةÙ
“O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a fire whose fuel is men and stones…”
I can be angry, stressed out, wanting to shun everyone out of my world but it only takes a moment of my son’s purity to make me smile. I [...]Staying Healthy: Studies on Toxic Chemicals
Bismillaah
It’s very depressing to think that so many of the things we use could be the cause of the majority of health problems. There are so many studies that link this or that to such and such disease and sometimes you just sit there and wonder ‘What is safe anymore?’ As Muslims though (as my husband reminded me) [...]Surah Aal-`Imraan 3:159
Bismillaah
In the comments of this entry, I said that I would type up the Tafseer of 3:159 (well just really the major relevant part) from Ma`arif al-Qur’aan. However, I think it would be more beneficial to read the entirety of it and so instead of typing it up (since it is long), I will just be giving [...]‘Don’t Judge Me’
Bismillaah
It has become so common for people to call each other extremists, modernists, misguided etc… Now it also seems very popular for people to say, ‘Don’t Judge’ and to call people away from al-amr bil ma`ruf wa nahi an al-munkar.
Sometimes I sit there in amazement when I hear of Muslims who are (without a doubt) [...]Ten Things: My 1st Tag!
Bismillaah
I’m gonna have to think hard now because I was tagged by Sr. Aaminah, but I think this will be fun! I’m gonna open up a bit so do pardon me if I say too much.
People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts [...]Recommended Readings
Bismillaah
These are some readings that I recommend be read (if you haven’t already). I shared these with my husband because they benefited me tremendously and I hope that you too can benefit from them.
An Example of the Prophet’s Perfection : An example that will increase your love for our Beloved (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam).
Your Faith is [...]Random Confessions
I miss my family so much. I had my husband’s mother over for the weekend and it was quite nice but it made me miss my mom, my brothers and sister. As for my father… sigh… there are too many problems there but I do miss him.
…I feel quite lonely sometimes. I wonder many times [...]
