This lecture is for those who date but there is also a lesson for the singles.

What a beautiful perspective as Mustfah Hosny refers to you as

"Bint Al Nabi, Daughter of the Prophet" MashAllah

The end is like a beautiful love story

(I changed it so that it says he instead of she )

"I want to tell my friend something, I always ask myself, do I love you or the time I spend with you. I always ask myself do I get jealous for you, or are you now apart of my wealth. I always ask myself do I really want to marry you or is this a means so you can open your heart to me and I can stay with you. Why did I get so mad when my friend who saw me holding your hand and he said "if this was your brother would you allow another woman to do that ?" Why did I get so mad? I will tell you that if I really loved you I would have worried about you to get closer to you or touch you, because of your image (reputation) in front of me, yourself, and Allah who said in the Quran that they don't take each other as friends dating..(Cant find the ayah!)

If I really was jealous upon you, from my heart I would have been jealous upon you from my nafs.

If I really wanted to marry you, I would have make duaa to Allah, my Rab and your Rab, and tell Him, Oh Allah bring me closer to him, I will not make Allah anger at him with me, with our bad deeds together, we will move farther from one another and our marriage will take longer.

Oh my friend, I forgot that before you were my friend, you are the son of the Prophet (he said bint al nabi, daughter). Because in the sunnah, the brothers are the sons of the ummah, and the sons of the Prophet. Prophet Muhmmad is a father to all of the sons and daughters of Islam. I am scared for when the Prophet comes to ask me about the haram we have done.

My friend because I love you from my heart, forgive me that we stay away from one another until I can go to your house from its door and ask for your from your family in front of all the people in light.

Allah will place Baraka blessings in this

Oh my friend, did you know that the Prophet said: there are three who have the right for Allah to take care of: the first of the 3 that Allah has to help is: the one who wants the nikah to be modest.

If truly from my heart I want to marry you so we can protect ourselves and stay chaste and be good with Allah and the Prophet, believe my friend  Allah will help the both of us on this.

Come, let us separate but our hearts will be close until Allah brings us close to each other again and He is pleased with us

Full Trust In Allah, See The Results Instantly AlhumdAllah

"And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things" Quran
 

For Friday Jumaah, I usually don't decided which Mosque to go to until the morning of jumah (I pray at a different masjid every week). My friend was asking me where I would go for Jumaah, and I jokingly told her "Wherever the angels take me". And how I always hope that I am in a Jumah in which the lecture is relative to my current life situation.

 
“Good reminders usually hit you in the heart as if they were meant for you, as if Allah-God just sent you a private message to awaken your heart”

How beautiful are your hardships when you  make sincere duaa to Him, cry to Him ,believe in His Promise and you place your full trust in Him! These are the things Prophet Yusuf and his father did and look at their ending mashAllah!
 

For this Jumah I was weighing two options: Jumaah at my local masjid, or Jumah with the MSA. About half an hour before Jumah, I decided to go to the local masjid. I thought the lecture would be about Egypt, but subhanAllah it was totally different...it was about exactly what I posted in my last blog: the dress code of the Muslim! I swear to you that is a message from Allah, because the night before when I was typing my post I was sad, but then I thought to myself how
I must not lose hope in Allah.

Also before the posting of that post I received disappointing news that made me even more sad  for the moment, but again I reminded myself of Surat Yusuf, and the status of the believers. I thought to myself Allah only wants what is best for me!

After hearing the beautiful khutbah on the Muslim dress code an hour later, I received beautiful news from the Sheikh of my Masjid which was probably a response to the disappointing news of yesterday.

I thought of how beautiful it is when you place your full trust in Allah, and how Allah reallllllyy provides from "Sources you don't know of", and how this news from the sheikh was exactly that!

What a beautiful moment for the believer


 

 

 

Hijabi , Wear A Small Not A Large

 

I cant wait until I reach the point where I am able to only complain of my sadness to Allah...this is the ultimate state which Prophet Yusufs father was in mashAllah:

 

 

 

"He said, "I only complain of my  sorrow  and my grief to Allah , and I know from Allah that which you do not know"

Lately I have been hearing to many comments about my hijab from Muslims...these comments show unappreciation of the hijab...my non Muslim co workers don't even say these things about hijab, actually once I start explaining the virtue of hijab they love it alhumdAllah.

When people who discouraged you from an increase of faith understand your love for Allah, and the AMAZING peace you get when you are following Allahs commandments, they would be trying veryyyy hard to achieve peace as it is not easy!
 

All of these annoying occurrences of people literally telling me to change my hijab for certain reasons reminds me of the story of Prophet Yusuf! And how he refused to displease Allah, if we only had iman like him!

In Surat Yusuf, Prophet Yusuf is telling Allah he prefers prison over the haram the kings wife wanted subhanAllah!!! In the end of this Surah, we see how Allah truly raises the status of Prophet Yusuf from prisoner, to king because of his "beautiful patience" Sabrun Jamil as mentioned in the Surah...whenever you think of people who are displeased with you because of your good actions think of Surat Yusuf and this valuable lesson, think of the VERY motivating ayah, and if you believe in Allah you believe in His promises inshAllah


"Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient, then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good."

 

 

Last weekend I was at a Muslim Food event and there was a bazzar so I was trying on abayas in a size Large... these ladies keept insisting that I take the smaller size abayaa. Her and other random people, they keep saying oh you are young you need to dress tight blabla something along those lines.

 

 These ladies are probably right, because really if I was dressing according to what society considers my size I would be wearing smalls and extra small, but I choose extra large because this is how you properly cover your beautiful shape. Yes, beautiful. Hijabis are beautiful when they are not in hijab mashAllah...go see how AMAZING hijabis look as brides mashAllah.I went along with the conversation but I got my large size abaya and its beautiful.

 

Then this lady started asking me how old I was and she was surprised when I said 21. She thought I was older because of the way I dress and that my clothes are to big and that I should dress tighter...so I went along with the conversation and I jokingly said so I can get married? She said yes.

 

In our world, the non hijabis are praised for showing off their "beauty" but the hijabis efforts are not appreciated and they are told to cut down on the hijab...

This week I also went to the beach with some hijabi who takes it off...that's OKAY do what you want but STOP telling me to take off my hijab just because we are at the beach, wallhee I swear I can swim in my hijab very comfortably and I stay in the water longer then most of the people at the beach! I don't understand why there is a discouragement of hijab rather then encouragement.

All these matters go back to looks and annoying dunya concerns and I will continue to wear my EXTRA LARGE clothes  inshAllah!!!
hahahaha

Sand,Sunset,Ocean,SubhanAllah

 

 

I usually go to the beach around duhr to swim but today we went after Asr
time and stayed until Maghrib.

It was nice as the beach is empty around that time, the sunset was setting on my left side, the beautiful ocean on my right, the sand under my feet, the sky above me...beauty everywhere I looked, Subhanik Ya Rabee.

All this scene is missing is a beautiful recitation of the Quran.

 

 

 

I keept thinking to myself  "SubhanAllah" and I though of this aya, in which Allah mentions the response we should have when we see and contemplate upon the creation of the heavens and the earth

 

 

 

 

"Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire" Surat Ali Imran, Aya 191.

 

We cant even describe how beautiful a sunset or the ocean is, or how amazing it is to know how the cell works, and soooooo many other amazing things....the word to use is "SubhanAllah"...

 

 

 Also during our trip, we saw the most funniest looking product, this man was flying in a chair thing it was cool! So I started waving as he was close to the land, and then my cousin tells me that he said Aslaaaaam Alkum! LOL HOW OFTEN does one see another Muslim in the beach!
Random moment but funny memory.

 

While you look at these pictures, you are going to want to reply subhanAllah (inshAllah!)

 

 

 

 

Ramadan Left, Allah Is Here Always

 

Missing Ramadan,

 

The long peaceful nights in taraweeh

 

The beautiful witr duaas that made me tear

 

The limit on food that made my stomach feel calm

 

The strength to read a whole juz every day

 

And being able to taste the sweetness of faith...

 

Ya Allah

 

And now we are here after Eid.....

 

Now we back to this dunyaa life, to be exact we at the day of Eid, a couple of hours

after the Salat Ul Eid

 

 

You go to the Mosque on the night of Eid and the rows are empty,  but 24 hours ago there was no space to make salat..

 

You notice the hookah spots get full, you smell the shisha from outside the streets, people waste their time drinking coffee and tea, forgetting about the purpose of Eid.

 

A weekend later, nights spent at weddings that are so haram, muslim men and women mixing on the dance floor, but only a couple of days ago they were at the masjid crying to Allah...you sit and watch and your eyes are surprised cuz you think to yourself what happen to Ramadan?

 

Now we are here...back to dunya but do we really need to wait until Ramadan to bring back that connection to Allah? Do you really need Ramadan as your only chance to go to the Mosque?

 

"Ramadan is gone, but always remember that Allah is always here and near...He is " closer to you  than your jugular vein" Surat Qaf

Farewell Ramadan:Repost

Farewell Ramdan =/

 

As Shiekh Hassan starts reciting the final surahs in the Quran, as he makes the witr duaa with the words " Ikhir Ramadan"-"The end of Ramadan", as he recites the khitim al Quran, the hearts of the beleivers are shattered and filled with tears as they realize

 the beloved vist of Ramadan has come to an end.

Our beloved vistor took away our hearts this month as it taught us how to become closer to Allah, as it made us spend long nights in sujud and ruku, as it mades us cry as we remeber Allah,

but always remeber Allah is always close even after Ramadan...

"and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein" Surat Qaf: 16.

 "O Ramadhaan! Be gentle, the tears of your lovers are pouring out. Their hearts are torn from the pain of your departure. Perhaps standing to bid you farewell will extinguish the burning fire of longing. Perhaps taking a moment to repent will mend everything that has been torn in fast. Perhaps one cut off from the procession of those whose fast has been accepted will be joined with them. Perhaps Perhaps one deserving to be punished in Hell will be liberated. Perhaps the mercy of the Lord will be granted to the sinner."

 -Ibn Rajab

Although Ramadan has left us, Allah never left you, and inshallah we will back for Ramadan next year...just like when someone vists you from overseas, you tell them

"Inshalllh tarohh wa trajaa bi salama"

Oh Ramadan, inshllah you go and come back peacefully.

This month allowed you to taste the sweetness of faith, and this month brought you closer to achiveing the "Nafs Al-mutmaa" The Soul At Peace"

Surat Al Fajr 28-29

To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him

25th & 27th Nights of Ramadan Stories, 1 Night Left

 

Just got back from the 27th night of Ramadan and here is what I learned:

 

"Seclusion is easy while company has its tests"

 

AlhumdAllah my family allowed me to spend the 25th and the 27th night at the masjid for itkaf....there was a huge difference between the two nights.

 

On the night of the 25th there were probably no more then 30 people who stayed, but ofcourse on the 27th people you never see come and the masjid was over crowded and loud. It was like a party, but  the 25th night was much more quiet and peaceful.

 

I learned that there are lots of tests when you are with hundreds of people vs less then 50. I have a couple of stories, such as people pushing you to take your seat, rude people who don't thank you but instead embarrass you, people who don't clean up after suhoor, but I also have the good stories such as the beautiful people you meet in Ramadan, the ones you cry with during the long witr duaaas, the ones who save your seat,  the ones you only see in Ramadan but you see that light upon their hearts.

 

 

 SubhanAllah I was a little upset on the night of the 27th due to the negative people I had to deal with but the morning following the 27th I did not feel good, I felt like I had lost a lot because of my dealings, but then I would reflect upon the truly peaceful soul feeling I would get during the longggg beautifulllllll qiyam prayers and it would make up for everything.

 

After Duhr prayer, I randomly read the following from my masjids calendar at home. After my negative experience with the people, and my low feeling of nothing being accomplished  I really needed to read this! It says:

 

" And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel  evil  with a deed that is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity  will become  as though he was a devoted friend"

Surat Fussialt , aya 34

 

Tafsir of this ayah from Ibn Abas:

 

Allah commanded the believers with patience at the time of anger, and withholding at ignorance, and forgiveness at the negative, and if the believer does this, Allah will protect the believer from the shytan.

 

 

 

 

I reflected back to the 25th night, and then I thought to myself I still have another chance, and that I should not lose hope as Ramadan has not yet ended. I cannot wait for the final duaa for the completing of the Quran, I know it is going to be a very hard as once again I must let go of Ramadan and wait for its return inshAllah.....
