Happiness?

Happiness in Islam to me comes deep inside the heart. Its a honest feeling that Allah blesses each of us with. Alhamdulillah. I believe to be 100% happy you must have good mental, emotional and physical well being. You must have faith in Allah alone and that will make the heart happy. Since I was blogging about Happiness in Islam I found a good article online you should check it out! :)

Moving on....OUT that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALHAMDULILLAH, I'm moving out of my parents house and into my own place!!!! Its been along time I have been needing to move out, as I am 24 and self reliant and sufficient too. I have my own job and make well enough to pay for rent and have paid for everything I needed (even paid off my own college Alhamdulillah) since 5 years ago to now.

Life is good. I have my own one bedroom apartment and get to move into it OCTOBER 10th! and get my keys OCT. 9th!!!! I can hardly stand it, everyday I am one day closer to officially living my life more Islamically and more happily too! (not that living at home wasn't good it is, but there are many things I can't get into that just will be better without)
Things I am looking forward to with my own place:
no dogs!
no interruptions
privacy
quiet time
not worrying about my prayers and people disturbing me or walking in on me
being free to do as I please, when I please and how I please!
cooking in my own kitchen! and cooking SPICY food I love!
being more independent in my eyes and also in my parents as they still kinda treat me as if I am a teenager and I have been on my "own" for a long time since 18! Even though I live under their roof.
have things in my place how I want them
more storage space for all my stuff
most importantly a place I can call my own and be proud of, a place I can come home to and pray and read Qur'an and not feel out of place, a place that is mine and that is Islamic, a place of solitude and happiness, a place I won't feel judged or critizied for what I believe!
A PLACE! MY PLACE! ALHAMDULILLAH!
Life is so sooo good! Inshallah make dua my new place will be good for me and my life.

Everything is because of Allah

All I realize lately is the way life happens, problems happen, happiness happens, sadness, war, everything is because of Allah. At times its very emotional to live in this world, its hard to keep positive with so much negativity going on around us, but for me just knowing that everything around me is because of Allah I feel blessed because I have my family, my friends and a life that is with Islam. Alhamdulillah.

I've been doing a lot of thinking and its very hard to find good people in this world, someone to count on and be honest is hard to come by, very sad but oh so true. So at times I find myself struck with emotions only Allah sees and understands, no words can I put here can describe how I feel. The things going on in this world are becoming so sad, all the war and fighting and negativity...Brings me to tears, but I strive to find strength in Allah to get me through this life and into the next, Inshallah.

I pray that all my Muslim brother's and sister's continue to learn their deen and remember what is truly important in this world. Ameen.
