In these days of intense night worship, some of us risk running out of energy and burning out before the end. This would be really unfortunate because the end is truly what counts: The Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him) said that actions are judged by their ending [Bukhari]. In today’s blog, I want to …
To know him is to love him
Bismillah I have fallen in love with Rasulullah Salallahu Alayhi wa salaam. When I didn't know about him, when I didn't know about his life and about his AMAZING character, his unique compassion towards the creation of Allah Azza Wajal, I could not really love him. How could I love one I didn't know anything …
To know Him transforms your life for the best
Alhamdulillah, in the previous post I mentioned that there were three eeman boosters which completely transformed my life. We already discussed one of the three which was Tadabbur.

The three eeman boosters in my life!
Bismillah, Lately, I have been reflecting on my life, especially my life in the deen and came to realize that they were especially three major things that definitely took my eeman to another level maa shaa Allah TabarakAllah.

Perseverance
Bismillah Lately, I am reminded of the amazing gifts that often come with staying the course, persevering and showing up again and again.

A fish in the air?
Bismillah And no we are not really talking about fish in this post. As we all know, fish live in water. Water is the best environment in which they get their oxygen and are able to survive. A fish in the air, depending on how long it stays outside the water is really in dangerous …
Decisions, decisions…
Bismillah Lately, I have noticed how there is so much confusion and worry behind poor decision making. A sister called me saying she does not know what to do, she is torn because she made a decision that did not truly resonate with her and now wants to change her mind but she fears the …
A gift for you!
Bismillah How was your Eid my dear sisters? I pray you had an amazing time with loved ones. Alhamdulillah, All thanks and praise to Allah, we had an amazing time as well. We had the blessing of being near water, trees and even swans SubhannAllah. Allah Azza Wajal has gifted us with so many blessings …
Sacred month and weaknesses
Bismillah I'm always so nervous whenever I find myself in a sacred month. The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth specifically selected four months in the year and called them sacred. This is no light matter! The month we are in currently is the first of three consecutive sacred months (Dhul Qa'dah, Dhul Hijah …
A time of change
Bismillah Change is often very scary to experience because of the unknown that is linked to it. My beloved said regarding this fear: "Fear Allah so that you don't hate the unknown. He knows the unknown and He will protect you." Yes! Na'aam! I agree fully. As this year is setting out to be a …
