Time flies …

-
Subhanallah time does fly so fast. It feels like just the other day I was at university and planning for my future. Now I am married and mother of two alhamdulillah. Insha-Allah in couple of months we will be blessed with another precious baby :-)

Every year is different. There are so many things to learn. This year has been quite a difficult one but it also has taught me a lot about myself and the people around me. I feel sad that time is passing so rapidly. It just shows how quickly we are getting closer to our end. I am scared but also hopeful that Insha-Allah Allah (SWT) will have mercy on me and my families and relatives and friends. When I see people celebrating the coming of a new year, I do feel confused. How can we be so happy and celebrating while our time is getting shorter. Or may be most of us are totally unaware of our departure. May Allah (SWT) help us in understanding the truth about life and death and the eternal life !

I hope and pray that year 2011 will be a very blessed year for all of us, insha-Allah. I hope with Allah’s (SWT) help we will strive to be better Muslims and help everyone in every way possible Insha-Allah.

 I have been thinking about my new year's resolution and not surprisingly thought of so many things to do next year insha-Allah. But I am not very sure that I will be able to acheive all the goals :-( But I am going to give it a try INSHA-ALLAH !

Insha-Allah 2011 resolutions....

1. Hope to be a better Muslimah by seeking knowledge of my deen and implement what I learn on a regular basis and spread the knowledge through my action and through writing at my blog and Facebook and Mum & Muslims e-magazine Insha-Allah.

2. Hope to be a better wife to my beloved husband, a better mother to my precious children , a better daughter to my beloved parents and a good daughter-in-law to my beloved mother-in-law, a better sister to my dearest siblings and brother-in-laws.

3. Hope to be a better relative and a better sister-in-deen for my precious friends Insha-Allah.

4. Enjoy life as much as possible and try to use my every minute in a more meaningful way insha-Allah.

5. Less complaining, moaning, nagging, arguing ...

6. Okay this one is very hard but I will try my best insha-Allah... NO BACKBITING! Need to remind myself that this is one of the major sins.

7. Eating healthy food and insha-Allah more exercise!

8. Hope to follow the sunnah of brushing my teeth with miswak, having one tea spoon of Black seed oil everyday.

9. Learning to drive INSHA-ALLAH :-)

10. Now comes the hardest one! TALKING LESS  &  LISTENING and READING and THINKING MORE !!!

I hope I will try my best Insha-Allah. Only with Allah's (SWT) help I can achieve my goals. O Allah (SWT)make this year a very prosperous one for all of us, AMEEN.

Bismillah With the Name of Allah , the Most Merciful I have typed some of my tajweed notes on makharij for the purpose of  revision inshAllah.  Alhamdulillah our beautiful teacher has started doing videos on tajweed. I have shared some of the videos here with relevant notes. Hope this helps us all inshaAllah. Image source   Makharij means articulation point i.e the place where the letters exit from. Letters are called huruf in arabic. Harf is the singular form of the word huruf. There are five different exit points (makharij).  1.       Al-Jawf ( The empty space in the throat and mouth/ the oral cavity) 2.       Ash-Shafatayn  ( The lips) 3.       Al-Halq (The throat) 4.       Al-Khayshum (The nasal passage) 5.       Al-Lisaan ( The tongue)   Al-Jawf ( The oral cavity)  From the   ja...

Five years Alhamdulillah :-)

Alhamdulillah five years ago, on this day I got married to my husband. It took me quite a long time to find him :-) I used to tell my friend at university and at work, that I may never get married and live for the rest of my life with 99 cats! I don't know where I got this idea from but I was indeed quite worried about my future. I have always been a big fan of children. For me the biggest fear was the prospect of being childless forever! I have seen quite a lot of brothers through family and friends. The more I was going through these meetings, I was getting frustrated thinking this is not really working for me and love is just a myth! Alhamdulillah going to hajj in 2006 has made me help put things into perspective. I started to think more seriously about the purpose of my life. I even wrote in my diary that marriage is not an ultimate goal for me anymore. Before that time, I used to think only through marriage I can become a better Muslimah as if no other option is left for ...

Are we wearing our hijab properly?

Nowadays, we are witnessing a very disturbing trend in hijab style. Sisters are wearing hijab (?) but not really fulfilling the basic requirements of hijab. Thanks to most of the young hijabi sisters, it has become a norm to wear lots of make up, wearing very eye catchy and tight-fitting and see-through clothes. May be only one thing hasn’t changed that much and that is not to show the hair as if hijab is only to cover our hair and everything else can be on display! I feel very sad seeing the state of our hijab. What's the point of wearing hijab then?  Where are we heading? I am not just witnessing this new trend in the West but almost every other parts of the world thanks to global media and culture. I wanted to write about this issue for a long time but felt it can be quite a sensitive issue to deal with. Seeing my own family and friends getting sucked into this silly trend made me feel determined to write about it. Allah (swt) knows my intention. This post is first and foremo...
