Journey

Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.-Qur'an, Al-Baqara, 2:185

Make ramadan your spiritual journey to grow and then some, Inshallah.

Dekha Sung Teray, Ali Zafar
Deekha sung terai, hamnai chaltai chaltai
Deekha sung terai, hamnai chaltai chaltai
Keh rahtai terai merai, Kahin nahi miltai, kahien nahi miltai
Deekha sung terai, hamnai chaltai chaltai
Keh rahtai terai merai, Kahin nahi miltai, kahien nahi miltai
Tu pyar hai mera, kab mainai inkaar kia
Mujh sai kab milo gai, kitna intezar kia
intezar main karon kiyun, tum jo nahi miltai
Keh rahtai terai merai, Kahin nahi miltai, kahien nahi miltai
Khizan ka yeh kaam hai, ujaar dai gulshan ko
Bahar ka mukaam hai, sanwaar dai gulshan ko
Bahar kiya karai jo, sab phool nahi khiltai
Keh rahtai terai merai, Kahin nahi miltai, kahien nahi miltai
Deekha sung terai, hamnai chaltai chaltai
Keh rahtai terai merai, Kahin nahi miltai, kahien nahi miltai
Kahin nahi miltai, kahien nahi miltai

reflections of a confident secure women

sometimes you just have to take a moment in your life to see were you have been and were you are going. When I look at the last 6 years of my life I've been through a lot of emotional turmoil but it only made me stronger and shaped me into the women I am today. Alhamdulillah!

I don't regret anything I have done in my past or current life, Allah Aleem. Everything happens for reasons. You meet people to get through things or to go through things; you get hurt to learn from your mistakes or other peoples mistakes. You grow, you learn and you achieve.

My life is very satisfying yes indeed; but there is something lacking that I've always needed and it's a companion; one to watch over me and be there during difficult times; one to just be my best friend and not judge me. I need a companion not to complete me but to fulfill my needs of starting a family. I am complete and I don't want someone to "own" me as I own myself, but I want someone willing and ready to start a journey into beautiful married life; maybe not right now but soon, Inshallah.

Reality is difficult to swallow but that's how reality is; you can't assume this life is going to be easy and you definitely can't assume marriage and family are going to make anything easier. But I do know I am ready to start my married life and a family in the near future. I haven't been more confident about ME and secure in my life than I am right now. Alhamdulillah!

My life is currently going so well; I'm moving into my own place, I soon should be getting a raise at work; my mom's healthy ALHAMDULILLAH, Ramadan's starting soon, Inshallah; just so many beautiful things going so well in my life I can never deny the beauty and bounty of Allah. I am in the best place emotionally and mentally; never have I felt such blessings than I do now! Alhamdulillah!

if you can't care for them why have them?

Children are a blessing from Allah indeed. Alhamdulillah. But why do so many people in this world have children they can't care for? Why do they have them and expect to pay the least attention to them when truthfully they need the most attention to develop into a good human being? I think its mostly because of distractions of this world...feeling like there isn't enough time to get EVERYTHING done but finding a way to fit in your day some internet time while your child sits watching some very violent TV show and keeps tugging at your clothes dying for parental attention and yet the parent still denies their own child that attention they deserve each and every moment of a parents life.

I guess I am just tired of seeing these beautiful children stripped of proper parenting when life is so short and only the smallest care and concern from a parent can yeild the greatest reward for a child.

Spending quality time with your child is so important, I may not be a mother yet, Inshallah one day; but I have siblings and I have a baby sister and a nephew and from that I have learned some strong parenting do's and don'ts...and yes every child is different and what works for one may not work for the next but what I am getting at is if you can't care and love your own child then why have them? Why make this amazing human being suffer because of your own laziness of this world? Why make their life different because they didn't get the proper love from you? Why take the fact that you have a child for granted when many in this world are dying to have one child but can't? Why take it for granted??? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Allah Aleem
