unplanned shopping spree
I have everything planned out, I did not intend to spend a cent this 2 weeks.....
BUT I forked out more than I anticipated...way more! My colleague and I decided to go for a girls day out, Lunch, a little bit of shopping and go home but the unexpected happened, we ended up with a pair of shoes for each of us together with tons of other good stuff. We BOTH did not intend to spend, honestly we did not. However it turns out, we were each other's enabler..it was a blissful shopping day, so we've thought...
so you're wondering...."so err what's the point of you telling us this?"
Well, when I came home, I felt extremely bad for spending so much but I strongly remember DURING the time of 'blissful' shopping period, I felt happy and I essentially 'need' to buy them ( for some of them, I do) and remember making up a reason(s) that I do need them...but did I really? No.
and I kept wondering to myself "How could I let myself get out of control?" I have this really sick feeling of guilt and regret.
And you know what it reminds me of?
A milder feeling of guilt and regret went you commit sin knowingly. I know it is an odd comparison between sinning and a shopping spree (that wasn't anticipated) but if you think about it...
You're letting yourself down for not keeping your promise.
Just like you're letting your creator down for doing things that you know you're not suppose to. The amount of guilt and regret is so so so much more deeper than an unplanned shopping spree.
But at some degree, I do find it similar and I can justify for all us..it is not the greatest feeling. period.

You can't control how you feel about something. But you can decide your attitude towards it. #islam#wisdom
Build your life around Islam, don't try to fit Islam around your life
I think some people should get two Facebook accounts... one for each face.
"If everyone knew the true status of a Muslim women in Islam, even the men would want to be women" -Shaykh Akram Nadawi
Many people are so distant from religion & God that when He punishes them they don't even realize it is the All-Mighty who has punished them
Ya Allah, help us focus on the akhira and protect us from getting lost in this dunya. Ameen.
After all the pain & all the tears, you eventually learn to trust only yourself & Allah
If you truly care for somebody, make dua for them. If you truly dislike somebody, make dua for them. Dua is universal. It heals everything.
Allaahumma innaka ‘afoowun tuhibbul‘afwa fa’foo’anni. “O, Allah! You are the Forgiving, You love to forgive. Forgive me.” #islam
When it comes to working for the hereafter do what you have to do today because tomorrow may come but you may not be around to see it.
Your life is a gift from the Creator. Your gift back to the Creator is what you do with your life. #islam
Age wrinkles the body, but disobeying Allaah wrinkles the soul.
Faith is not about everything turning out ok, Faith is about being ok no matter how things turn out.
As humans we forget that we're not as strong as we think, we are but weaklings. The best way to get back that strength is to drop in sujjud
Muslims believe in Quran and Sunnah, and should not believe in superstition

Would you rather.....
Assalamualaikum everyone :)
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening (depending when you're reading this, lol )
I shall post my January quotes tomorrow along with bits of February, I've been busy and I don't think I've re-tweeted much so expect something tomorrow :)
Here are the things that have been in my mind for the past few days or even weeks....
I would rather know what I need to know to succeed in this life like our creator wants us to than to know what this dunya has to offer me and constantly feeding my ego and my ill desires that can never be satisfied.
I would rather taste the bitterness of disobeying Allah than feeling numb and ignorant.
There is a difference between putting food on the table and putting luxury items on the table. I would rather be suffice and happy than being rich and unhappy.
I would rather have just one friend, who reminds me of Allah, that way they know how to be a friend than having a lot friends that do not even know a single thing about being someone's friend.
Let me know what you rather have :)

Something to ponder?
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh :D
Hello everyone! I know I missed part 3 but I promise I'll post it as soon as I can but for now...I have something else for you to read and ponder about :) because this is a little hint or should I say teaser?... of what I am going to post tomorrow (yay?!)
So here it is.....
Procrastination - the theft of
time. One of the most valuable things to lose is time yet, we still
procrastinate. Time cannot be replaced; once it’s gone...it’s gone.
Think about the things we CAN do
with those wasted times!
Insomnia - Imagine what you can
do with those extra hours! Maybe some dhikir, extra prayers, reading the Quran?
I guess having insomnia may not
be such a bad thing :p
1,2,3......PONDER ... :)
