I have come to love the presence of thyself more so than the masses of people. I would rather read about the speech from the ones that passed away than the bickering and laughing of lives opening in front me of as if to seduce me with their liveliness. Know they not that I am dead and that life is breathed into me every time I read the words of Allaah? I yearn for solitude. & I am happy with...

The three Eids that Muslims have (Eidul Fitr, Eidul Adha, Jum’ah) truly connect us and bring us together. & It’s all with the remembrance of Allaah. Eidul Fitr is after a month of Fasting and piety in all we do, Eidul Adhaa is with the story of Prophet Ibraheem [alayhi asalam] and his obedience to Allaah, and Jum’ah is a blessed day of servitude to Allaah; a day that Adam...

So I’ve been having an internal conflict for days. Asking myself how tall I really am because I thought I was something, I measured as something, and then I compared myself to someone who was that height.
Tonight we went out to eat and I was in the bathroom washing my hands, this little girl maybe 6 or 7 kept looking at me and smiling. When I looked at her through the mirror, she’d...

If I don’t agree with you, I am an extremist.
If you don’t agree with me, you are being open minded.
*plop* there falls your brain. Sorry doll…you were too ’open minded’.
Oh, what an extremely extreme statement for me to say.

Anonymous asked: Salamalaykum. I have a slight bump on my nose, which makes the right side of my nose look not so great as the left side of my nose. Would it be considered haram if I get a rhinoplasty? I have no trouble breathing or what so ever. I know not everyone is perfect, but this bothers me a lot and i am always looking at myself in the mirror comparing the two sides of my nose. what would you do if you...

Your modesty extends beyond the piece of clothe you cover your body with. Modesty is also your behavior, speech, character, personality, and dealings with people. Even if you do not wear the Hejab, that doesn’t excuse you from being modest. Remember that every word you utter is written down, every vile word, every immodest gesture, every intolerable response is written down by the Angels....

I just stared at myself in the mirror for the last 15 minutes or so. Allaah created every pigment in perfect hue next to the other in perfect harmony. How my face is aligned, how my lips stretch into a smile, all the markings of burns, birth marks, etc. All are in perfect positions. Every muscle works in harmony with the bone to make me move, smile, laugh, cry. When I gulp, it’s as if my...
There’s so much to learn about Islaam and it makes me both happy and scared! So much to relearn, so much to understand, and so much to implement!
May Allaah make it easy upon all of us and may He make us sincere in all that we read, learn, understand, and implement!
Ameen.

A friend once told me something I will never forget: Think of each of your family members dying. Think about how you’ll react, what you’ll do, how life will go on.
To some, maybe this is a bit morbid and sad, but really think about it. Death is guaranteed for all of us. What are we doing to prepare for it? Will we continue bypassing it while we prepare for all else in our lives? Sure...

Question: Is it permissible for a person to initiate the well-wishing for the new year to someone?
Answer: If someone wished you well, then return the greeting to him, but don’t you be the one to initiate the well wishing to anyone — this is the correct position in this matter.
If for example someone said to you “we wish you...
