Light on the tongue, Heavy on the scales..

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam said, 'There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful... '.

So, do you now what this is referring to? I'm sure you must do.

And if you don't then you shall know soon, so all good.

I may be scared of leopards.

Not so long ago, I watched a very interesting documentary about leopards. I don't know much about them besides the fact that they have sharp teeth, have beautiful skin and a part of the cat family. Watching this seemed ideal to help me to widen my horizons.

There were certain parts that made me love these creatures to bits and there were certain parts that made me angry at humans for being so inconsiderate and heartless and other parts that made me scared to ever be anywhere near one of them. A lot of mixed emotions and feelings.

When you just don't wanna do something

ever had that moment, when you just don't wanna do something, something you've been told to do. and im not talking about revising or working or whatever. im talking about something specific. like hoovering the bathroom or baking a cake or something like that. or cleaning your room or go pick up your little sister or load the dishwasher or whatever. someone in authority over you ask you to do something and you just dont wanna FRIKKING DO IT!

and you know, deep down inside that you gotta do it. so then your mind proceeds to play gladiators, exhausting your emotional energy and whatever else and then when a FRIKKING PIN DROPS YOU FEEL LIKE KILLING SOMEBODY.

Me and the Woolwich attack

so i started with googling, opened three links which led to four and here they are:

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22634468 a short BBC report, with a short clip of one of the attacker. one thing though, they keep emphasizing how distressing the clip might be etc..but in today's age where we're exposed to this killing and that killing in movies and games.. the reality of the man's red hands and bloodied knife just doesnt sink in.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.

I'm not supposed to be visiting this site nor replying to the dozen threads that need replying to, but having come home, I feel like creating a blog post and here I am doing exactly that. During this fun filled exam season, I think about strange things. I do a lot of over-thinking and over-analysing. 

I have strange ideas whizzing around in my head too and i realised something. When i'm revising, i'm revising for an exam, i'm learning for the short term. I'm not revising for the long term and neither am i revising for life. For me, doing such a thing doesn't sound like a great idea.

May Peace and blessings of Allah be on you dear reader!

ever been browsing the net and scrolling up (or down) and suddenly instead of scrolling your webpage just shrinks (or grows bigger?)

 

never fear, LtS here in a moment of procastination paused her lecture, went of tribby and this particular scenario described above occured to her for the "once-too-many" time and so she did what anyone of her generation would do.

yes ladies and gentlemen..

I googled it.

Ramadan 2013

According to Google it is Ramadan in 4233600 seconds...... Just 7 weeks.

The companions used to prepare 6 months before, so you can say this blog is 192414 minutes late. Oops.

This is the one and only Ramadan 2013 blog where you can say anything and everything up until the month is over. (That's why I made sure I got in there before anyone else did Dirol )

Ramadan is a MASSIVE deal because its just amazing all year round. The physical, mental and spiritual peace is just surreal. We shouldn't take this opportunity for granted, so strive to capture as much benefits as possible!

Being a dreamer

in your everyday life, are you more of a dreamer, your feet touching down on reality every once in a while whenever needed but you're mostly up there in the clouds thinking about places to be and things to do?

or are your feets firmly rooted in reality and you know exactly whats going on around you all the time?

whats the opposite of reality? is it dreams?

I think i qualify as a dreamer, theres nothign to qualify for, and ive never been in anyone else's mind so I dont know if there's an opposite or different state of mind to the "dreaming" one I'm in most of the time. so really, the first two queston i asked are not the only category that exists probably. If you know more about state of minds then please do share.

TWO IMPORTANT TAFSIR BY IBN QAYYIM & IBN KATHIR

TAFSIR OF SURA AL-ANKABUT {1-11} - BY IBN QAYYIM

1. Alif Lam Mim.

2. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested.

3. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test).

4. Or those who do evil deeds think that they can outstrip Us (i.e. escape Our Punishment)? Evil is that which they judge!

5 .Whoever hopes for the Meeting with Allah, then Allah's Term is surely coming. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
