Just a DREAM

I read somewhere, that Allah swt sometimes blesses you to test you. Never really understood the concept, but recently been faced with a couple of challenges that put it all in perspective. I was blessed with a great blessing in this dunyah ( life), something that I was so proud and grateful for. Maybe I gave it too much value, maybe I needed the reminder that nothing in this world is perfect. Wallah , I swear by Allah that I feel the past 20 years of my life were just a dream. So here is something from me, Sister Yasmeen Mogahed was rite when she wrote and talked about the concept of wraping this Dunyah and all that comes with it in your hand and wraping your heart around Allah's faith and love. Allah will never disapoint you  and He will never cheat you. Oh Allah shed your light on my path, guide me in this life and the afterlife. Give this broken heart another chance, to worship you in the best way your are to be worshiped.

Death Does Not Miss

As I was driving on the highway last week, I was making a shift to the left lane. My speed at the time was maybe about 60-65 Mph , as I glanced to my mirror after I made the shift. I noticed a car approaching from behind but for some reason it was not slowing down. This car in seconds was exactly behind me. My guess that the speed of the car was 90-120Mph. After 30 seconds I realized that this young man is not able to stop, he was for sure going to hit my car . I am all the way to the left , there is no space for me to move to the middle lane , that was it. Subhan Allah, I felt like I was in one of the slow motion movie scenes, I don't remember how it happened but I remember moving away just a little , for seconds the car was parallel to mine and I can see the driver pushing the breaks, I can see his fear of what is yet to come. This car goes to hit at least three cars in front of me then it did a 360 and stopped in the middle of the road. My car wasn't even touched. This whole time , my speed remained at around 55MPh and I was as calm as can be. All I kept thinking about afterwards was that car was suppose to hit me. How was able to move? How was I able to keep my calm ? How was able to avoid this whole accident? Then it hit me it was never my destiny , it was never written for me. Death was close but it was not after me. I am sure that there were injuries, I still remember one of the passenger's faces after the accident, I stopped for a few moments but quickly realized I am still on a highway and in fear of blocking the way or causing another accident I left without checking on the passengers in the rest of the cars. This happens to many of us , where we are faced with something that makes us feel like we are very close to death. In reality death wasn't after you this time. The protection and the guidance from Allah swt is what helps us in those situations. Maybe these incidents happen so that we are reminded . Nothing I did saved me from this accident, realistically this car would have hit me with full speed and only Allah knows what would have been the outcome of that, but it was just not written for me and with Allah's protection I walked out with just a reminder. Death does not miss , so I ask Allah swt to allow my ending ( and yours) to be in a status where He is pleased with me. May Allah swt always protect us and guide us for without His protection and guidance we are truly lost.

Wake Me Up

I wait everyday for the dawn. For the sun's light to break through the darkest of nights. I wait for my soul to be given another chance , to take another breath in hopes that the new day brings about a changed me. Lost dreams and unfulfilled promisses creep in but the hope always lives within me. May Allah grant us tomorrow so that we become better worshipers , better children , better students , better lovers and better friends. (Alhoma Ameen)

A little more

Behind those harsh words are feelings waiting to burst. Read between the lines and hear that broken heart. Sometimes one fails to address the problem at it source , so it comes out because it had troubled the mind for long. So give he or she a chance , and hug them with your warm heart , the mystery of this world is that today you help someone and tomorrow your in need of help. We are created one, we stand as one and fall as one.
Don't stress the words that are said , fear the feelings behind them. So treat the problem at it source. Remember an innocent smile can open a locked up heart.

 

Waiting to hear the word " Go". I have been waiting for very long. I found my answer, I found it in the first seminar presented by OAK TREE Institute. All thanks to the best instructor  of all times Mohamed Abbasi. For almost a year now, I have been alive, but I was not living the life I want . I knew I wanted to do something great, but the whole world wanted me to just be GOOD. Good was enough, but I struggled because I wanted to be GREAT. I learned that I am the controller of my destiny and Allah swt will guide me, and that I can have what I want from life, if I believe, if I focus, if I prioritize and if I act. No one ever put it in this manner, and I know I wont do the beautiful presentation justice. I would just like to say, being unique is good, thinking big is great, and never let average individuals tell you otherwise. Find your passion, let it burn, let it lead you. Design your life mission and vision. You see teachers ask us to outline everything, they never ask us to outline our life. Where would you want to be in 1 year , how do you plan on getting there ? 

I am going to memorize the whole Quran insh'allah in less then 6 months, if your thinking I can't do it then your wrong! I know whats important in my life, I know where I want to be in a year. I am striving for the life I want to have. Keep me in duaa Jazakom Allah Khair ( May Allah reward you). 

Take time out to sit with yourself and design your life. Reflect and ponder, you can accomplish anything so " Go ....Go ....Go "
