Just because you’re Muslim doesn’t mean you’ve got a magical ticket into the gates of heaven. Remember that our creator is Just, and he knows what lays in our hearts. What may come out of your mouth, may not be what’s embedded in your heart. Just because you’re “Muslim” doesn’t mean you stop looking for the truth, it doesn’t mean you’re better than anybody else.

Nothing here lasts. !!!

There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me. But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter won’t last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn’t perfect. And it isn’t. It isn’t perfectly good. But, it also isn’t perfectly bad, either.

I will address my sorrow and grief only to Creator...

 

Sometimes there are worries and concerns in your heart, you need someone to speak to but those around you may not understand you, even if they understood your words, the words that will come out will not do justice to how you are feeling. Turn to Creator, for it is He who knows you better than yourself and knows how you are feeling. It is He who understands you and can help you more than anyone else. “He said: “I will address my sorrow and grief only to Creator…” Q.S : 12:86

This is life!

 

When there is no friend,
When life is on the dead end,
When the world is not a paradise,
...
When your confidence dies,
Tell yourself – Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When things don’t go right,
When there is no ray of light,
And its too hard to survive,
Tell yourself – Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When there is competition to face,
When you are lagging behind in the race,
When you’re betrayed by fraud,
Tell yourself – Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When others don’t respect you,
When you’re not amongst the admirable few,
When for a question, you can’t find a solution,
When all you’re sure about is confusion,
Tell yourself – Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

When your destination is miles apart,
When you don’t know where to start?
When all you see around is pain,
When your hard-work is in vain,
Tell yourself – Go on, THIS IS LIFE!

Even though all this happens,
just have faith in yourself.
Face life with smile
things will surely change one day.
because as said,
“THIS IS LIFE!!!”

If looking back hurts you and looking forward scares you, then look above . ALLAH  never fails to help  you.

Sorry, but my heart is already taken by a lover of Jannah...::♥::

 

"He took his wallet out of his pocket to give
sadaqah … after putting good amounts of money
on the hands of 2 poor men, he saw her for the
first time…She was walking down the street…he
admired the way she was lowering her gaze, he
respected the Hijab she was wearing, she captured his heart by her chastity ...and her modesty…She
was exactly as he imagined his future wife to be. He knew that he should not do it but he wanted to
approach her, so he went to her and asked her :
“may I speak to you for few minutes.. believe me,
my intention is good, I just want to know where
you are living” she was surprised , she looked at
him for few seconds not believing that he was talking to her.. Then she lowered her gaze quickly , her face
turned to red because of shyness… Somehow she
found the strength to reply with confidence:”Sorry,
but my heart is already taken by a lover of Jannah
…He is a true believer who always lowers his
gaze… I didn’t meet him yet but he is the man Allah already decreed for me…I won’t let any other man
approach me or know me except him.” Then she left and he felt that she took his heart
with her. He followed her to know where she was
living. Later on that day, He was ashamed of
himself, he knew she was right! He thought he is
good practicing Muslim until she awaken him with
her words: “A good believer obeys Allah and lower his gaze!” From that day, he tried his best to
change himself to be a better Muslim… He lowered
his gaze whenever he went out. After some time,
when he felt he was ready, he went with his
father to the house of that righteous girl to ask her
parents for her hand in marriage. Surprisingly, she remembered him, she even
accepted to marry him …He was thinking that she
probably accepted him because he has a good
reputation as a practicing Muslim. On their
wedding night, he asked her: ”Why did you accept me?” She replied with a smile on her lips: ”the day we met for the first time,and seconds
before you came to talk to me, I saw you giving
sadaqah to 2 poor men…I knew that nothing, but
good, would come from a man like you… you
would bring nothing but barakah and blessings to
your family and your wife” There was silence between them until she
asked:”What about you, why did you chose me ?” He replied smiling: ”I wanted to be the man you
talked about that day, the man you already fell in
love with” ♥ O Allah grant us with suitable loving spouses who
would bring us closer to Your love!

Allahu Akbar!

I asked Allah for strength and Allah gave me difficulties to make me strong, I asked Allah for wisdom and Allah gave me problems to solve, I asked Allah for courage and Allah gave me obstacles to overcome, I asked Allah for love and Allah gave me troubled people to help, I asked Allah for favours and Allah gave me opportunities. Maybe I recieved nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed ... :)
   

being the 'woman in Hijab'.. !!!

Sometimes, I almost feel like I am  on repeat, fed up with such situations! But I love to explain what it means to be a 'woman in Hijab' :)

It defines who I am, and plays a role in charting my life path. It is a bridge, it is a barrier. It provokes insulting debate, it is a spark which starts stimulating conversations. It is regarded as traditional by some, but it is timeless. It represents me. My Hijab.
