Ali’s Story

Ali’s Story

Here is the story of a wealthy young man that's been diagnosed with stage four cancer. You can find his story on youtube and I shall leave the link down to his story below, for those that would like to watch and see him. It's really worth watching and just about 7mins long. Ali is [...]

Finding the balance

Finding the balance

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 [...]

Unanswered prayers

Unanswered prayers

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 [...]

The Pursuit

The Pursuit

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.

Abu bakr’s Story 

Here is an amazing story about an Australian man called abu-bakr. It's one of those stories I've never really been able to forget. You can find his story on YouTube and I'll put a link down to the video below; it's quite short and funny. But for those who don't have enough data or mb [...]

Ibadurrahman

Ibadurrahman

With Ramadan just around the corner and everyone preparing themselves both mentally and spiritually, I wish to share one of my favourite verses in the Quran. Ibadurrahman…these are special groups of people mentioned in suratul furqan (25:63-77) that receive Allah’s immediate love and special mercy. I would love to be in this group because Allah [...]

The shell

The shell

There’s that child or adult in our lives we desperately want to give advice to but it seems like nothing ever works. Lets refer to them as the shell. First let me put it out there that I’m referring to good advice that is ignored, a person who ignores bad advice might actually be wise. [...]
