Saturday morning was one of those mornings where after hearing upsetting news, you lose all motivation for the day and just want to remain in bed and contemplate about life and escape the reality of what's happening. I remember waking up all smiles. I had felt genuinely happy because Allah had given me another chance. I could [...]
The title of this post is no doubt misleading. I'll have you know it has nothing to do with relationships but hopefully you'd be able to relate as you read along. I've been asked a couple of times what love is and each time the question is asked, it is met with an awkward silence or a grudging 'I don't know'. It's [...]
There's this problem I have, it's either I say very little or too much. I take very hot showers or freezing cold ones. I eat very little or too much. Like me a lot of people struggle with finding the right balance in their life. An advice I come across quite often is there's a time for everything. I mostly agree [...]
Two months ago I promised to answer a question my brother asked (which I mentioned in the root of all evil post) that is; why is God not answering my prayers? I'll be frank by saying you can never know the true reason for something happening or for it not happening (not until the day of qiyamah [...]
If you enjoyed the ibadurrahman post then you are going to enjoy this. I was initially going to entitle this 'levels' but as you read on, I think you'll agree with me that the pursuit is more appropriate. Like the Ibadurrahman post, a lot of the things mentioned are not in my words, they are mainly quotes, [...]
There are two kinds of people: people like Petyr Baelish who say "Knowledge is power" and Cersei Lannister that insist "Power is power". I'm always struck with wonder whenever I hear the old adage; ignorance is bliss. If there's one thing I've come to learn, it's that the human mind is ferociously curious. Why choose [...]
The nearing of my return to London this coming weekend is a daunting reminder of how quick time flies, it doesn't feel like I've been away for 4 months. To think the next time I post something In Sha Allah, I'll be thousands of miles away and surrounded by the familiar cream walls of my [...]
If you have read or watched Oliver Twist then you’d be familiar with the title of this post. Human beings are dignified creatures. We’ve been honoured in many ways other creatures haven’t and I’m not even referring to the fact that Allah asked the angels to prostate themselves before Adam. I speak more of the [...]
If you follow my blog weekly, you would notice I posted nothing last week and that was because I was unwell and unable to prepare something but alhamdulilah I'm in good shape and I shall make up for the missing post sometime this week In Sha Allah. A friend of mine lost his mum to [...]
My brother randomly suggested a topic for my blog and it's something many of us ask ourselves; why is God not answering my prayers? It's a deep question and one I'll come back to answer in the future In Sha Allah. Instead, I would love to address a second question he had personally asked. I [...]
