Aww mashAllah…and you know thats so true. I feel I can search every corner of the world..and I will never find a friend as true and as dear as my husband. And of course i think it goes both ways, you become their closest friend too. May Allah bless you two Ameen!

Anonymouse: Thanks for the encouragement and the hug : ).

M: may Allaah make it easy for all of us, Aameen… (and I hope everything is well with you)

Umm Khawlah: Aameen.

After I wrote this entry I thought a lot about what I said and I’m going to be pressing that button soon insha’Allaah.

Before Islaam I was the quiet one, the one afraid to voice her opinions but i’ve changed after my acceptance of Islaam. Everyone is out there sharing their opinions and many people don’t realize that what they say is going against the deen of Allaah and they have no shame to speak without knowledge.

People are out there speaking about what a Muslim woman should be according to the west and what age we should accept `A’ishah was because their own minds can’t submit to the possibility she was young and they don’t realize the dangerous path they are treading.

and I need to start drinking more fruit juice - it relaxes the mind.

Umm Hasan: I think we need to exchange numbers. I really benefit from your thoughts and I need some tips now that you are a mother of 2 as well insha’Allaah.

May Allaah love all of you, aameen

bismillah

we all feel this way at one time or the other, i know before Hamza was born i was really nervous because i didn’t know how i was going to handle the change, and raising two children under the age of two, but alhamdulillah Allah swt help is always here and its been here, if we call on Allah indeed he will reply alhamdulillah. sometimes at the end of the day, or when i’m finish making dinner or cleaning up in the kitchen i just say alhamdulillah because Allah helped me get through it, enough about me though :)

the important thing to remember is to keep Allah swt in rememberance at times of hardship & ease and to remember that Allah responds to our call whether it may be in this duniyah or in the akhirah.

and yeah don’t worry about your saved drafts you will share them with the world when your ready to or even if you want to, Allah knows whats in your heart and He knows your intentions so no worries inshallah :)

your family is in my dua alhamdulillah

love you

wa salaam

“I admit that I have so many saved drafts for my blog that I never dare to publish. They are opinions on so many topics but I am afraid to share them with the world and it kills me because that’s why I write them. My latest entry is called ‘The Ideal Muslimah’ but I just can’t press publish.”

Ukhtee, don’t be afraid to share your opinions. This is what blogs are for. Maybe if you share, others will learn and in turn share their own opinions with you. Sometimes there can be disagreements but they can be resolved in a civil manner. But the most important thing is to let it out. Even if no one reads it, atleast it’ll be off your mind.

As for all of those problems, trust me, I feel like that too sometimes and Im sure so does every other person on this planet. Just take a deep breath and let things take their flow.

May Allaah ease your affairs and fill your heart with contentment, aameen.
