Change for the better


We all are given guidance everyday in different forms whether it be a status on facebook, a video on watsapp, a message on twitter or simply a picture on tumblr. Even if we do not have many friends who are not spiritually rich still we come across these messages may be through a friend’s friend or shared on a family group on watsapp. I guess most of you all are nodding head already.

When we come across such good messages suddenly we hear a whisper ‘’Hey scroll down, it’s not for you’’ or may be in a more kind way ‘’No time right now, we will get back later to read these’’
Yes or No??

Our enemy knows how to tackle with each person and how to present things to distract and keep us away from getting close to Allah.
Sometimes we tackle and find time to go seek knowledge but still hesitate to bring the slightest of change in our lives. We might have already gone through many parts of Quran, listened to lectures etc. but as if something missing somewhere, it is not benefiting us.

Why is it that we still do not have peace at home, why are we not be able to be content with what we have, why do we still find it difficult to be patient…and the list goes on (reminding me first)
We should first understand that we are learning to implement it in our life, only then we benefit from it. 
Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.
[Quran 13:11]
The more we learn the better we should become In sha Allah. Even if we change after few days we feel we are losing the enthusiasm and we slow down, that is why we are told by Prophet (peace be upon him) to keep seeking knowledge and reminding ourselves and others so that the imaan level doesn’t go down. 
Allah is giving us an opportunity to change and calling us towards him every day in different forms..Look around and find out for yourselves..


May Allah help us take benefit from the age we are living in, use technology wisely and hence make our way to Janaah easier…

The Tarbiya

I am trying to grab words and put it together to express my amazement as a mother. I saw a video of a small boy reciting shahada to his little sister on her death bed, a little girl keeping her wasiya (declaration a person makes whilst alive regarding their property), toddlers staying strong after losing parents... If Allah made us witness these then definitely it is for a reason.  How did these mothers achieve to plant such strong, calm, brave, beautiful souls filled with Imaan?  The foundation of Tawakkul. The ability to see hereafter in front of their eyes with yaqeen. The amount of sabr. The smile of contentment. The dhikr of Allah in a very difficult situation. We are struggling, planning, learning, taking notes on how to become a better parent. Subhan Allah!!  These children and their parents living and the shaheed have shown us what is the  REAL TARBIYA or in simple words nurturing. May Allah forgive us our shortcomings and help us fulfill the responsibility he has placed on our

✨Reflections

Before I forget, I wanted to pen down these reflections for myself to review later and I thought it might be beneficial to others if Allah wills. Today's Friday khutuba recording was about Surah Maryam.  ✨First Reflection The Imam spoke about how Zecharia (as) made a private dua asking Allah to grant him an heir from Allah Himself and pleasing to Allah. Maryam 19:5 وَإِنِّى خِفْتُ ٱلْمَوَٰلِىَ مِن وَرَآءِى وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا  And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir Maryam 19:6 يَرِثُنِى وَيَرِثُ مِنْ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَۖ وَٱجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا  Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]." How a dua becomes so beautiful when you are asking Allah for something, which is again for Allah!! ✨Second Reflection How a baby is born without a father. Once again, a miracle that shows the omnipotence of Allah. Maryam (as), w
