The Nephews, My Little Stars.

Dear  بأمين الأفكار

My nephews were playing and I was busy in the kitchen… they asked me to cut some oranges for them, which I did, as they were eating the gardener onto the patio, to give the plants water, he greeted and went about doing his work, the 2 lil boys got up each had 2 pieces oranges in their hands, they walked up to the gardener and said: “Please take this and sit and enjoy it before you carry on with your work.” The smile on the gardeners face was something so good to see… as he went out to eat it, I went to the boys and told them “Mashallah that was something so good you did, but please tell me, what was your thought behind giving.” Their answer: “Well Lala (when they started to learn to talk Kala become Lala, and the name stuck :)) we saw Nana giving someone some of his naartjie, Nana told us that as Muslim to be kind is a very noble and good habit, it was 1 of the ways of Rasulullah (SAW) and that is who we want to be like, Nana says when we eat something we should share, and Lala the gardener looked kind of hungry. :)” 

 I was really pleased that the lesson they remembered, and the most of all the their role model 🙂 Kids pick up things so fast, and nice enough alot from the grandparents, my beloved father and my beloved mother have so much of patience, it so amazing to watch the boys with them.

 I don’t have brothers, so didn’t get to experience the “getting ready for Jummah” part… which I have come to love, and I finally got tying their ammah on right :D… to watch Nana and the boys go for Jummah all in white with their ammah’s is such a beautiful site mashallah 🙂

May Allah make them a source of light in the Ummah, keep them on the path to please Allah, bless them with knowledge that is beneficial for them, give them good characters, grant them piety, wisdom and good health, Aameen.

Worries … I Dont Let It Get To Me

Worries … I Dont Let It Get To Me

Dear  بأمينالأفكار

I am serious… I worry not about anything, I am really pleased with my life, problems or not!! To me problems make you better, smarter, wiser and closer to Allah 🙂

I know, I know sounds easier said than done… but seriously try it … you would be surprised how happy and relax your life becomes, when you look at everything from a positive outlook, negative outlook, negative results!!!

When I know I have a problem I say silently “Oh Allah I have this problem, and I want need your help to come through and grant me wisdom from it.” And yippee I come through.

 Worries only become bigger, when we look at things one-sided, look at your worry from a different angle and believe me the solution is there.

“You can worry about tomorrow and by so doing lose today forever.

Or you can work for tomorrow and as a result you’ll keep the value of today with you always.

You can worry about what others think of you, and by so doing lose their respect.

Or you can work in the service of your highest and best vision and others will beg to follow in your footsteps.

You can worry about making a living and by so doing have no time left in which to live.

Or you can work to create real, lasting value and experience fulfilment in every moment.

You can worry and be afraid, and by so doing you’ll give power and substance to your fears.

Or you can choose to be bold and live each moment in freedom and fulfilment.

Whatever you’re worried about, your worry will get you nowhere.

When you feel the urge to worry about life, use that energy instead to live it fully, and reap its many magnificent rewards.”

Revenge or Not?

Revenge or Not?

Dear  بأمين الأفكار

Ok before I start this post of mine… I know I am going to offend someone and in advance, PLEASE read “the who am I” page.

Someone emailed me asking for a dua to punish someone who hurt her, not physically but emotionally, after many years together he did not marry her, and married someone else, she was really upset that I did not give her such a dua {honestly I don’t even know one}…my answer to her was.. “To heal sister is to forget, forgive and wish the best for everyone. Allah looks at how we react to circumstances. Remember the wheel turns, I know and understand the hurt and
pain you must be feeling, although my hurt and pain was caused by my “ex-husband” your by a boyfriend, which in Islam such a relationship is forbidden, but I am not going to pass judgments, remember sister, by you wanting someone to be punished, you are asking the same for yourself.”

And as I had expected she was not happy at all with my answer, was my answer wrong? As a women I do understand her pain of being betrayed by someone you love-loved, but I don’t understand why wish badly for that person? Was that love than deep and true? Yes betrayal is hurtful, it’s a pain that is in us forever, but it teaches us never to do that to the next someone we might love, it teaches us the value of honesty, trustworthiness and true deep love in a relationship.

Revenge is never an answer, it is in fact asking doom and gloom on yourself, it is about you not have self confidence, not loving yourself enough,  and in short making one a miserable, unhappy and well a nasty person, and I am sure no one, no one at all wants to be with someone like that.

Don’t forget the past, TAKE the lessons from your past into  the future, to make your future a happy, positive and prosperous one.  

 “There is no revenge as complete as forgiveness.”

“Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind”

You Could Have Told Me…

You Could Have Told Me…

Dear  بأمينالأفكار

This post is to “someone” who I was close with, who meant alot to me, someone who I trusted and told everything…

I just wished you could have done the same, you knew or know that you could have talked to me about it, I wish that you could have told me, what was going on, I would have understood, I would have stood by you… You know I would never have judged you, never embarrassed you and you know I would have not mocked at you.

To have had things done the way you did, was not fair, on me. It hurt alot than, but it hurts alot more now, knowing what I know now… why , why, why, was it so hard? Why did you let your pride get in the way?…

I could say so much more, but I don’t want to hurt anymore nor do I want to hurt you. Time has gone by, and we all moved on in life, it took time for the light to shine in my life, n now it shines brightly….

I hope that the sun shines on you soon.

Friendship

Friendship

Dear بأمين الأفكار

“What is a friend? A single soul, dwelling in two bodies” {Aristotle}

Friendship is not something only with people other than your family, friends come in all races, and friends can be someone outside your comfort zone, friendship is something special, something dear, something to hold on forever…Last week I was contacted by a really old school friend, we actually only went till 7^th grade together, my classmate‘s till 7^th grade, we all started kinder garden together, we made a pack never to forget one another, but somewhere along the line we did, which was sad, but she told me something really sweet, she said “although we all moved along, we still resided in each other’s hearts. So meeting up again was destiny reuniting us all.”  So friend thanks for making the connection 🙂

Different people have different definitions of friendship. For some, it is the trust in an individual that he / she won’t hurt you. For others, it is unconditional love. There are some who feel that friendship is companionship. People form definitions based on the kind of experiences they have had. This is one relation that has been nurtured since time immemorial. They say a person who has found a faithful friend has found a priceless treasure.

 

“There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.
It’s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don’t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don’t understand because you don’t know enough about them.
On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are “in love” with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.
Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn’t need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.
Friends are the people who won’t laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it.
Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don’t think about how long to hug and who’s going to be the first one to let go.
Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud.
They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them.They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them.”

 

When I started blogging, I didn’t think that I would make friends, correction make that wonderful friends, to “sister dua” thank you for your wisdom and inspirations you give me n never forgetting the motivation 🙂 to all my “Friends”  May Allah Mercy, Love And Blessing be with you always. Aameen.

Emotions…

Emotions…

Dear  بأمين الأفكار

What are emotions? They are:

1) Natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

2) Any of the particular feelings that characterize such a state of mind, such as joy, anger, love, hate, horror, etc.

3) Instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge.

I was asked a question: Do I ever feel sad and miserable? So I said yes I do when something or someone makes me feel that way. I asked the person, why have you asked me such an odd question? The person replied because we never see you that way. Why? I replied, well because I made it my decision to show emotions where due, and most of all to be HAPPY with whatever condition Allah puts or places me in, so in my faith and reliance in Allah, He has kept me happy for all this time.

 “Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.”

“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.”
