"Dear God, thank you for today, yesterday, tomorrow and forever, I'm thankful for my life.!"
Food for Thought
"The ability to remain calm, deduce things logically, and keep a level head while everyone around you is losing theirs is invaluable. The more chaotic your surroundings the more controlled, measured, and precise your thoughts and actions must be."
Holding tight
If we spread the message of Islam, we are in the highest level of the victorious on earth. Spreading the message of Islam is a deed comparable to the tasks of the Messengers and Prophets, only without the revelations. Anyone actively engaged on this road will be placed under trials and tribulations. As has been… Continue reading Holding tight
Trial after Trial
If you are chosen by Allah, your quality will increase. It is not dependent on any external condition, family connections or situation.

If you are sincere to Allah, He will grant you victory even under the tightest and most… Continue reading The Weak will get the upper hand

Transgression and aggression against each other. Physical aggression is an obvious example, but aggressive behaviour can also be characterised by verbal, financial and emotional aggression, intimidation and all other forms… Continue reading Traits that Almighty does not love.

Phrases like "be patient" and "patience is half of the faith" form a part of the Muslim's everyday vocabulary, such that we seem to repeat it by rote. We are advised to be patient at the time of adversity, and to exercise "beautiful patience" at all times. Yet, is this possible given that the concept… Continue reading Why Patience is Beautiful

We are taught moderation and spiritual discipline so that our beings are not… Continue reading But Ramadhan is too hard
