Flawed & Anti-social


Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh everyone :)


Since it is not the end of the month yet, I have not posted part 3 yet but Inshallah tomorrow :)

But today I want to talk about friends. What makes a friend, a friend?
Are they the ones that someone you can talk to without being judged?
or are they the ones that understand you the most and knows what each other are thinking?
or maybe are they the ones that have been with you the longest?

Well that all depends on you...what do you want in a friend?

Have you ever had friend that you tell everything to and you both have thought that this friendship was going to last forever and suddenly or eventually ended sourly? I had, several times.

But I never regret a single one of them because everyone that I've met have either taught me something about myself, something about life or taught me how a friend should be and that is how I see life, I believe that everyone you have met or going to meet have something to teach you. There is a reason why Allah wants them in your life and if it weren't for the friends I have/had...I wouldn't be were I am today.

What do I want in a friend? 

..someone who makes me want to get closer to Allah and accepts me for who I am, flawed and anti-social ;)

who needs thanksgiving when you can be thankful everyday :)



Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh :)

Nobody have the same fate. Some are born richer, wiser, fortunate and powerful than others
.
Greater fates come with greater responsibilities. Some would view this as unfair but we do nothing but accept what is already written for us.

Let’s just sit down and take a moment today to be grateful for the uncountable blessings given to you because there are others out there that would be happy to be in your position. Be grateful that your parents (or you) can afford college where others are forced to take a job to support their family. Be grateful that you have a comfortable home that you can come home to everyday. Be grateful that you are surrounded by loved ones. Be grateful that you would not have to worry about feeding your family every single day, be grateful for the job you have even though you don’t completely enjoy it.

Some of us are fortunate enough to be blessed with this kind of life yet we still ask for more.So please take a moment everyday and be grateful for the blessings that are given to you by your creator. Alhamdulillah :)

say it like you mean it



Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Inshallah – if Allah wills it.

But yet some doesn’t even know what it means thought they might know WHEN to use it. You get my drift? Several says it out of habit without knowing what it truly meant like we say it out of politeness when rejecting an invitation that we do not wish to attend.

Person A: A bunch of us are praying at the masjid tonight, you should come!
Person B: inshallah, I’ll try my best

What person B meant was: I don’t feel like coming but I don’t want to be rude by being straight forward and say no.

Though our intention is good but to use it in a context without knowing the meaning of inshallah defeats the purpose and why would you want to say things that you do mean?
You HAVE to know what it means to mean it :)


Have a fantastic day ahead <3

Lots of Love,
Little Miss Hijab

My thoughts pt 1


Assalamualaikum

People, who do not know their purpose in life, do not know that you cannot find true happiness in dunya…temporary happiness, yes sure there is plenty but wouldn’t you want something that is more sustainable than a quick fix? Of course.

You buy all these things that you don’t need to impress people you don’t care and pretend not to care, feel the pressure of doing something that you think is not a good idea, care so much what others think of you and spending money you don’t have…to impress who? Who would care? Dress so provocatively just to get few stares from boys just to feed your ego and insecurities though you might find it disrespectful and REALLY degrading. Why would you do that to yourself?

We want to find partners that are faithful, funny and understanding yet when looking for a partner piety wasn’t the 1st characteristics we were looking for in a partner. Why?

We live in world that promises you a lot of things and happiness is one of them but when are you going to get it? It is all an illusion. True happiness is cannot be found in unlawful relationships, money, assets, power...you’ll find it in your deen.

Brothers and sisters I love you for the sake of Allah, so please wake up :(

start of something new?

Things that happened to me this past week that made me love Islam more :)

  1. Went grocery shopping the other day and walked past a group of males without fearing they would say something vulgar..or inappropriate.
  2. Helped myself refrain from saying something that I would regret afterwards
  3. Shared some of my favourite things/food with people I love just for the sake of pleasing Allah
  4. Islam helped me realized there are SO many things are far more important than pleasing the people around you and reminded me how exhausting it was to please other people.


What did you learned this week that made you love Islam more? :D

Think then speak

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone

Never in my life have I struggled with weight. However, I do have people in my life that I do care about DO struggle with this kind of issues and truth be told, I never understood simply because I was never in that situation. 

I could only sympathized, I could only imagine how that person might feel and I am  not saying there is anything wrong being a bigger size. Being 2 sizes bigger than your best friend can be a very sensitive issue to someone and everyone is different. We might not understand then again, our feet was never in those shoes. 

All I am trying to say is.... if you don't have anything nice to say, better to say nothing at all. 

So brothers & sisters in Islam, think before you speak :) we don't want to end up hurting someone we love do we, now? :))
