My revived thoughts on Marriage

Recently I’ve had quite a few friends talking to me about marriage and how they feel sadness that while so many people that they know, are getting married, their situation regarding marriage is never changing. They want that companion that Allah swt has placed in us, to want (and it’s not being desperate or the new ‘in’ word “thirsty” – personally I think that, thinking this is both childish and naive). These friends are by no doubt conscious, of the ever present requirements of culture to get married before they get too old. Now, I don’t look down on both of these things because I can empathise, they are both, particularly the latter, sad realities of the society that we live in.

*Eid Mubarak*

 

Eid Mubarak to all of you, regardless of whether you will be celebrating Eid tomorrow or on Friday. We pray that the blessings of Allah fill your life with peace, joy and prosperity. Sorry Revivalers, I had to reuse the one i made last Eid due to the shortage of time I have on my hands.

 

 

 

 

How to feel sorry for people that seem horrible to you

Theres this man, a step dad. He's horrible to my friend and she's been staying with just him since beginning of july. He had what looked like a miniheart attack recently. I cnt feel sorry for him? Whats wrng with me! Help!

Also, friend texted me saying it wasnt a heart attack n he's coming hme tonight. I dnt knw what to say back. I was thinking if he stayed in hospital she'd get a break frm him.

I wanna say "alhamdulillah" but so far ive got "i see" as a reply to the text.

Hw does one deal with stuff like this?!

Ramadan reflections day 24

I’ve been reading the Qur’an obviously, and I’ve been reading the translation alongside it too. I don’t think I need to say the benefits of reading the Qur’an, and especially understanding what Allah is saying to me. But to describe it in a couple of ways - it builds and confirms faith; after all it is what teaches us faith itself. It is comforting, inspiring, educating, scary, powerful, awakening and humbling.

Traveler with the Quran

My love for Arabic is kicking back in. It's kicking me so hard and all i want to do is listen to Arabic. Just want to listen to Arabic all day long and listen to the Quran all day long. I want to write this blog in Arabic but that would be pointless because i'd have to accompany it with English translation. 

The video above is just mind blowing. SubhanAllah, i can't even describe it in words. A child who has lost their eye sight yet at the age of seven has memorised the entire Quran by heart and is so precise in his recall and even has Ijaazah. I just don't even know what to say!
