Orange ball shaped fruits.

There's a few orange ball shaped fruits. Some seem perfectly round and others seem like they've been squashed and flattened. Some you cut with a knife, and with others, you peel the peel and eat the small segments. 

There's oranges, and tangerines, and then you have satsumas and clementines. (Theres probably more that exist but i haven't heard of them). I've always wanted to know what the difference is between them and what makes each one special. Why is a tangerine a tangerine and not a satsuma or clementine?

Before you can help others (as a therapist, friend, parent...)

 

Quote:
Salamu Alaykom wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

Before you can be a decent therapist,
or a facilitator... and this is really important for
parenting too, by the way...

Before you can be a good therapist, you need
to have gotten over a substantial portion of
your own luggage.

And since no one is perfect, and you'll
always have faults... you need to have a system
whereby you can cleanse and enrich yourself.

This starts with loving yourself.
Then it proceeds to you feeling so self sufficient
that you begin to host others.

Hats off to Sajid aka The Revival Editor for going through with this.

I found out on the night that he had managed to recruit others into the madness too and mashallah they had raised money for the revival too and would be jumping too.

See how they got on in the video above ^ ^

Jumma on Eid day

It's not often that I have a day off on Friday. As this Friday was different, I thought I'll stay behind, wait until everyone else has left the prayer hall before I go home myself.

The man who was there with his twin sons was one of the first to go (in the second wave of people to leave). The first wave is mostly made of men wearing suits who are probably on their lunch hour. I'm normally among them, but not today. Today I have a day off and I'm going to be the last one to leave the hall.

Everyone has a massive smile on their face. Hugging and saying "Eid Mubarak" to everyone else. I sit on the side, by the coat stand in the corner.

Everyone is getting up and going. Going to see friends and family.
