i have exactly the same problem. But never thought about posting anything…

I’ve worn an Abaya (permanently) before – during my first year of uni actually, but after a couple of glitches I had to revert back to wearing ‘normal’ clothes and since then, even though I do consider wearing it again (in fact I had some tailor-made recently) I sort of feel like my ‘normal’ wardrobe will be wasted (yes it could possibly be my nafs talking).

I mean I do wear the Abaya but it’s really not a solid thing, I wear it to the Masjid or at home (beats having so many fiddly bits when relaxing) or even when I go out sometimes. But..

.. Says Gillian Mckeith!

But some foods are just too darn delicious! So everyone's going on at us to be healthy and stuff which means cutting out the take-aways and the overeating of carbs andd - blah dii doo da but the list really does seem to go on.. And on and on!

So I like chicken fillet burgers and chips , fish and chips (chips seem to be becoming a common factor but I actually like them more as a accompaniment than on their own), pizza, sharwarmas (have to be lamb), lamb chops (any shape or form) andddd more and more and more!

ok, now that i started i gotta finish, im stupid like that, i would even finish reading a stupid book, for the sole reason that i started it. So..euh..sorry for hogging the "recent blogposts" thingy. just two more to go.

Chapter Six: the virtues of Loving and Hating for Allah.

1) Allah the magnificient, loves those who love one another for his sake

The prophet (pbuh) said: "Allah, the Most High, said:
My love is due for those who love one another for My sake..." (Reported by Ahmad
[5/229], al-Haakim [4/169] and others from the hadith of 'Ubaadah ibnas-Saamit,
radiyAllahu 'anhu, and it is saheeh.)

Didn’t go to work today so actually had a fairly free-ish day. It was productive.

Firstly I finished reading the Qur’an (I read the latter half with the English translation as well as a commentary – which I was very proud of – oh and it was only latter half because my pops gave me this specific Qur’an when I was around half way). I actually had a buzzing feeling when I read the End-of-Qur’an Du’a and am hoping to start it again tomorrow, after I pray Fajr which means that the next time I read the Du’a it’ll be when I’ve finished reading the Arabic, the English, anddd the commentary InshaAllah! (Big accomplishment.. for me anyway)

Secondly - wait we'll get there in a bit.. I hope

Chapter 4: The important of Loving and Hating For Allah (subhanahou wata’ala)

This is a really small chapter,
The prophet (pbuh) said: "Indeed the firmest handhold from eemaan is that you love for
Allaah and hate for Allaah." (Reported by Ahmad 4/286, Ibn Abee Shaybah in
al-Eemaan [no. 110] and at-Tayaalisee 2/48 of Minhatul-Ma'bood] - from al-Baraa
ibn 'Aazib. The hadeeth is hasan due to supporting narrations from a number of
Companions.)

Chapter Five: Ways to Strengthen One’s Love for Allah (subhanahou wata’ala)

1) Informing the one you love that you love him for Allah’s sake.

The prophet (pbuh) said: "If one of you loves his brother then let him tell
that he loves him." (Reported by al-Bukhari in ad-Adaabul-

The way to…??

Eeman of course!! And inshallah Shade of Allah’s throne on the day where there will be no other shade and inshallah *drum roll* JANNAH!

The prophet (pbuh) said: "There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when
there is no shade except His shade. The just ruler; a youth who grew up upon the
worship of His Lord; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two men who
love each other only for Allah's sake - meeting and parting for that; a man whom a
woman of noble birth and beauty calls to commit fornication but (he) refuses and
says: "I fear Allah"; a man who gives charity secretly so that his left hand does
not know what his right hand gives; and a man who remembers Allah in private and

(why should you love what Allah, He who created you and gave you all you’ve got, (and that includes the sight you using to read this, the fingers you’re using to scroll down, the brain to work the computer and having ended up on this page, the money you got for buying the PC/phone you’re using to read this, the house and seat you’re in/on while reading this)loves and not love what the celebrity-who-doesnt-know-you-exist loves.) <--not part of the book, just a personal touch.

1) From the completion of a person’s love for his lord and for the messenger of Allah (pbuh) is that he loves that which Allah loves.

do i need say more?

I just finished reading this book and I have decided to share what I have learnt because I think this is quite an interesting/important topic. I hope my words are easy to understand and that you benefit from reading what follows.

Chapter One: What is Loving and Hating for the sake of Allah.

Loving for the sake ~of Allah means that you love a person because of their deen. And hating them is the opposite, aka, hating them for their lack or the “corruption” in their deen.
He (pbuh) said: "There are three characteristics whoever has them will find the
sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than all
