For the longest time I've always wanted to start my own book club; my sister Nafisah and I spoke about it several times when we were younger. Our love for books and engaging in intellectual discussions began from a very tender age. A few months ago, I disclosed to the followers on my Instagram this [...]

Top 10 Nasheeds (February 2019)

Assalam Alaykum! So, I was scrolling though my older posts and noticed that the last time I recommended some new nasheeds, was on the 24th July, 2016. 2016! 3 years ago. I honestly couldn't believe it's been that long. Going forward I promise to update my nasheed lovers (a lot more frequently) with the list [...]

Top 10 Nasheeds (Jan-Feb 2016)

Assalam alaykum everyone! As some of you know I struggle with listening to music but I deleted all my songs and I've been listening to just nasheeds for a while now and I am so happy because I feel some progress. Right now I am content with the quality of nasheeds out there; a lot more [...]

How amazing is it that the same God that created mountains and oceans and galaxies thought the world needed one of you, too?🌺
Drop a green heart by order of the peaky blinders.
I really can't believe I am doing this. A number of my good friends have advised and pushed me to start my own YouTube Channel. I'll be honest, the chances of you seeing me sit behind a camera and speak to you all is pretty much non-existent. If I want to communicate or express myself, that's what my writing and my blog is for. My pen is and will always be my strongest voice. However, there are some things & moments that a mere pen cannot capture and that's why I've created this YouTube Channel; to share and document the things that words can't satisfy and I feel would be better appreciated with our blessed eyes. I hope you find my future content to be useful or beneficial in some shape or form. I have posted my first YouTube video and the link is in my bio! Kindly watch, share and subscribe if you wish to be a part of my journey. Really appreciate those in my life that push me to step out of my comfort zone and are there to always support me. Love you guys!💓🌹
Are you guilty of having a fixed mindset? It’s not too late to develop a growth mindset. #growthmindset #positivity #insight #lessonlearned #healthythinking
Friendly reminder that you don’t have to wait until the weekends to live and enjoy your life. Go to your favorite coffee shop after school, call your friend, bake cookies on a Wednesday evening, dance around in your underwear. Your life is yours to live and you shouldn’t put it on hold because of work or school.
