Muslim women are always covered from head to toe and they are told to follow certain rules which are enforced upon them. Alot of people question why? We'll just imagine if you had a diamond would you want everyone touching and scratching it? NO! likewise girls are like diamonds to their parents. Parents make sure their diamond is not touched or scratched by covering, protecting and keeping their diamond safe. Therefore draw your veils over your heads and guard your modesty. Just imagine the ummahatul Mumineen sacrifised their life for the hijab and we cannot even keep it on our head, never mind sacrifise. "Purify yourself inward and out, in order to reach the level of truth."

Time is running out.Such a cliche but inevitably true. Thinking back to the last week, i can't actually believe that it has whizzed so fast.. it scares me but soon , too soon, we will be all standing in front of our Lord Allah (swt) with our book of deeds.
And on that day , it will really be every man for himself... Or every women for herself....

Ziyad was the only child and like all "only kids" his parents spoilt him to bits. His father was a wealthy business man and had more money than time to give to his only son. His mom was too busy socialising with friends to bother with what Ziyad was getting upto as long as he was safe, she was happy.

I really really want to become an atheist because I think religion bounds a person to follow certain things and if you are an atheist you don’t have to follow anything your free to do what you like

This is one of the most beautiful duah I've ever come across

"اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ، كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَ بْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ بِالثَّلْجِ وّالْمَاءِ وَالْبَرَدِ"

O Allah , separate me from my sins as You have separated the East from the West. O Allah, cleanse me of my transgressions as the white garment is cleansed of stains . O Allah , wash away my sins with ice and water and frost.

ahh the magic of understanding arabic, Its beautiful understanding what you recite or read of duahs/surahs in your prayer!

Ive always wondered how to thank Allah subhanahou wata'ala.

I knew all about how to ask for forgiveness and how it was quite a process, but i thought, "what about thanking Allah?" saying Alhamdoulillah surely couldnt be enough? wasn't there a set pattern? something specific to do?

then i found this video. and i'm so glad i did. (its less than 2 mins, dont be scared...)

It does seem a lot harder, a lot more complicated. and a more constant thing. But after reflecting, we have a lot more to be grateful for.

Imam Ghazali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion.

As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up.

The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well.
