Taqwa

That feeling. You know.. When you are just sick and tired of life. When you just want to give up. When there is so much going on you have to analyze your life and pick out what you are doing wrong. Yeah, that feeling, that feeling when most people raise their hands in prayer to God, in hope that The Almighty.will help you, that he will remove the pain and suffering and he wil guide you.

But what about that other feeling. When you forget about everything for a while and just smile. When joy enters your heart. Do we raise our hands up to God and thank him for the bounties that he has bestowed upon us? Do we thank him for the mercy and happiness he has given us. Do we take a moment to say Alhamdullilah? Do we take a moment to say Subhanallah? Do we take a moment to say Shukranlillah?

We have to train ourselves to be people with Taqwa 'God-conscienceness' and never let anything become more important to us than our creator. He has given us uncountable bounties so we must not repay him by just calling out to him when we need him. I talk to myself before you. May Allah grant us all Taqwa and guide us on Siraatul Mustaqeem. Ameen.

A Holiday to Africa

Recently I was reminiscing over a holiday I went on 4 years ago (Summer 2008). It was the first time i went back to where my Father grew up.. Mombasa, Kenya. We also visited where my mum grew up Dar es Salaam, Tanzania although I had been to Tanzania before. Here are some snaps i took along the way :)

My heart bleeds for Karbala
My tears fall for Karbala
My soul yearns for Karbala

Ya Allah (swt)...

Ya Allah, make my relationship with you so strong that I don't need these people.


Ya Allah, make me so attached to you that i dont want this world.


Ya Allah, let me thrive on your love. 


Ya Allah, help me discover the love for your deen.


Ya Allah, do not let me get attached to such short-lived materials.


Ya Allah, guide me toward 'Siraatul Mustaqeem' 


Ya Allah, assist me in following the ways of the 14 Ma'soomeen.  


Ameen ♥

Words cannot describee..

Words cannot describe how I long to be invited to Karbala.


Words cannot describe how much i want to be near my Hazrat Abbas and my Mowla Hussain.


Words cannot describe how I long to walk in bain ul haramain.


Words cannot dwscribe how much I want to hear cries of Labbaik Ya Hussain.


Words cannot describe how much my eyes and my heart shed tears for Hussainthe Martyr of Martyrs


Words cannot describe how I await the day when I will be able to cry at the shrine of Abul Fadlil Abbas.


Words cannot describe the amount of pain they went through for us.


Actions cannot repay the amount they have sacrificed for us.

Friend > Aquaintance

There is a diffrence between an aquaintance and a friend. Aquaintances are those familiar faces who will come into your life and leave when they feel like it with no great benefit to you. These sort of people are easy to find. It is the friend who we are in search for, the one that will improve us as Muslims. The ones who care for our well-being, those who care for our spiritual advancement. This is the person who I continue to look for. This is the person I need in my life.


I have had many experience where by I have mistaken aquaintances for friends resulting in an unpleasant state of confusion and regret. It is never nice when you come to realise that someone you thought was benefitting you, someone you thought cared for you, someone you thought you could rely on vanishes from your life, leaving unsolved problens with you.

Assumptions

I hate it when you look up to someone you really think is a good person yet after a couple of conversations you realise he or she is the complete opposite. It really changes the way you view prople and makes you wait before assuming you know a person. I dont know if that made any sense to you guys but it was more of a just 'note to self'
