Taking a moment to catch my breath!

It has been a hectic long couple weeks from the middle of March to now. Alot has happened, it has been hectic, sad and disappointing but nevertheless ... I have learnt along the way:

  • That life is short and when it ends unexpectedly it will be a shock but there will be very few people who will realise that it's time for a re-evaluation!
  • Make the most of your life, live it to its fullest and do whatever you can with the people you love most!
  • What other people say about you is REALLY none of your business
  • When people who you think really care about you say hurtful things about you, stand up and smile and be kind to them because my very wise sister told me:Whatever people may say about you is between them and God but How your react to what people say about you is between you and God!
  • A very inspiring teacher once told me: "Don't hate the person who harms but only hate his action"
  • I heard a moulana say on his Friday Khutbah: "You will never be accountable for your silence!" and this is regarding what we speak about.
  • Never speak ill of a person - only because it is wrong!
  • Life is what you make of it so take the opportunities that come your way!
And may Allah (SWT) grant us ALL including me guidance!Aameen!

In that short period of time we don't exchange a lot of words; our judgment is mostly based on nonverbal communication. Why? Anthropologists tell us that we're thinking like cavemen. Deep in our genetic code, we are conditioned to be afraid of strangers. Will they eat us or feed us? That's why we form first impressions so quickly; we have to decide whether or not it is safe to approach. How do you get someone who doesn't know you to feel comfortable talking? This is not the time to play hard-to-get, keep a distance, or play mysterious. Instead, take the initiative in creating a welcoming impression. People are wowed by social decisiveness when it's offered with compassion and warmth. How another person perceives you is d...

Day 1 of Fasting

Today was a good fasting day, I was way too busy at work to even feel the fast. It has become really cold again,we felt really cold Sehri time. It's been a long time since I can remember fasting in winter, the days are shorter and colder, which I don't mind at all, it's so much better than fasting in Summer. By the time I got home from work I had just enough time to read Asr, and then while making salaad Maghrib Azaan went, the day was over before I knew it! So far so good! The only thing that really worries me is the five assignments I have to complete before the 20 August. I really have to put a step on it!
