When you think its just too much for you...

  • When you are hurt by the people who share blood relations with you, recall Yusuf [alayhi salaam] who was also betrayed by his brothers.
  • When you find your parents opposing you (in deen) recall Ibraheem [alayhi salaam] who was made to jump into a blazing fire by his father.
  • When you are mocked and abused by your own relatives just because you adopted deen over duniya, recall Rasul Allah [sallalhu alaihi wa sallam] who faced the same.
  • When you are stuck into some problem and find no way out recall Yunus [alayhi salaam] who was stuck inside the belly of a whale.

    My Sixth Form Dress Code

    In life, you have a variety of stages and different expectations and i think you should be able to adapt to new environments. For me, one big change in my life, will be the sixth form that i'll be studying my A-Levels at. Most of you have already passed this stage or are leaving this stage. For some of you it may have been the most grilling and stressful time of your life and for others it could have been the best time of your life, for whatever reasons, whether that means making life long friends, simply enjoying the college or sixth form that you studied at or knowing that these two years set the foundations for what you want to achieve in life.

    Thinking

    A wise man once said to me:

    "As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth,
    so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.
    To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again.
    To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

     

    So this got me thinking....

    If I want my kids to be a certain way, I need to get them to think that that is the "norm"

    The Citizens Foundation

    Salaam guys!

    Just wanted to raise awareness of the dire state of education in Pakistan. It is said that the cost of not educating Pakistan is equivalent of one flood per year. The Pakistani government currently spend a meagre 1.5% of their GDP on education.

    Please take a look at the following websites for more information:

    The Citizens Foundation exists to build and develop schools for Pakistan's most disadvantaged children. Their work is trully inspiring. They currently education 115,000 in 830 schools across Pakistan. Education really does save lives.

    stress toothpaste and camomile

    what do you do to calm down when you're stressed or when you're feeling down/like everything's getting too much?

    when im at home, i like to brush my teeth when i feel like that.

     

    how often do you feel like that? once a week? once a month? once a year? everyday?

     

    how  come i need to have an infusion of camomile (amongst other plants) to calm down but the rest of the world (most of it) dont need to?

    Cars Phones Contacts

    "Let me know when it's all ready and on the road, I want to take it to college one day." I thought it's a bit of a push, but if you don't ask - you don't get.

    "You know who actually IS serious about wanting to borrow it - Darren. He actually thinks I'll trust him with it. I mean, I know it's only a Calibra, but it's the limited edition Turbo version" Zab had all the nice things. Latest cars, latest clothes, latest phones. I sometimes wondered how he paid for them all. He only worked alongside me as a pizza delivery bloke. Even if he worked all the hours under the sun, he still can't have a disposable income large enough to his life choices.

    "Come on Zab. I was being serious too. You won't trust Darren, but you'll trust me right?"
