HEADACHE


CLARITY Please....
Is the Bad Headache the Symptom or the Cause.
We often blame the symptom and refuse
 to examine the Cause.
How then do we find the way out.

ALONE AND FREE ?


Life is full of trials and tribulation.
We want to be alone so we can be free.
Hold on....
Running away may be just like the snake wriggling out of its old skin.
We may feel blissful.
But then the process repeats itself.
Let us look for something permanent
We seek the pleasure of our Creator
God Allah almighty.
Life can truly be blissful.

LOST IN THE WILDERNESS ?


Often times the Wilderness is but in your mind.
Open up your Hearts. 
Let Faith in the Oneness of God dwell,
and Home is but a step away.

THE JOURNEY


Some people say: Enjoy the Journey.
Never mind the Destination.
But
In Islam 
The Journey and the Destination
is equally important.

A ROSE IS A ROSE....




I am a person who likes to call a spade a spade.
But a dear friend in my early days always reminded me that a Rose is a Rose by any other name.
Indeed it is. How much anger and disappointments you have in your heart about something or about someone, say it out in many different ways that the person you talk to do not feel the anger and disappointments in your heart.
In fact people will listen to you better 
if you say it "with roses".
Call a spade a spade sparingly and life we will go through life in harmony.
May Allah guide us all the way.

TRAVEL





When I was a little girl I had always kept a  dream that I would one day be an air stewardess so I could take to the skies and travel the world over. I love the subject ' geography'  when I was in high school and that fueled my interest to travel so I could see the desert and experience the snow storm or the sand storm just as I had read in the text books.

I applied for the job at 21, but when I was short listed to be interviewed, I chickened  out. I told a friend that I didn't want to "be told" I was not pretty enough to be a stewardess. It was almost like an end to a dream. But I consoled myself that if I worked hard enough at College and later get a good job, may be I could earn enough to travel and see the world. I was never a straight 'A' student and college life was tough for me.

Alhamdulilah, I graduated and  had a good job and the rest was history.




When I was working I traveled fairly often alone with some friends. Now I traveled  with my husband without having to worry about work. But traveling at a younger age was a lot more 'fun' than now because you have the extra energy. But all the same, travel makes you smarter and wiser in ways you would not realize until much later. That was my experience and  I  encourage my children to travel when young even if it means going on a budget trip on a back-pack. Its energy that makes travel FUN. You can weather just about anything because you have the energy.

Travel is also Ibadah (good deed). We explore this world to learn and internalize the greatness of our Creator and Sustainer,  God Allah almighty.

So, save or make all the money you can, and travel when you are young and energetic and less commitments. May Allah grant us the means and may He be pleased with us.

ALL PRAISES...

 
Alhamdulilah, All praises be to Allah, our Creator and Sustainer.
He is most passionate most merciful.
Today I am starting a new blog  in the English Language. 
May He guide me all the way and may He be pleased with my entries as part of my good deeds in this world.
Ameen.
