I was walking down the big hill towards the mailbox today and there are a few neighborhood kids playing around next to it. I overhear one boy asking, "Who's that?" And another pipes up, "Oh they're the ones who live up that hill, remember the house that wouldn't give us any candy for holloween?" A weird way of remembering people eh? lol...
Assalamu Alaykum
[45:23] Have you noted the one whose god is his ego? Consequently, GOD sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes. Who then can guide him, after such a decision by GOD? Would you not take heed?
اطلبك تسمع دعانا .. توبتك ربي عليّه
ربي ترزقنا جنانك .. وقبلها عيشه هنيّه
Ameen ya rab!
Ever have that kind of weather where when you look out of the window it looks like a beautiful summer day but if you dare to step outside you'll freeze. So you have to bundle up with millions of layers? That's how its been yesterday and today. I hate it! But i'm always complaining about the weather lol. Today is those kind of 'bad' days where you feel like nothing is going your way =( I hope tommorow's better inshallah
“Tell the believing men that they shall subdue their eyes (and not stare at the women), and to maintain their chastity. This is purer for them. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything they do. And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall c
over their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, other women, the male servants or employees whose sexual drive has been nullified, or the children who have not reached puberty. They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to GOD, O you believers, that you may succeed.”
~ Qur’an [24:30-31] ~

Seriously what's up with people these days?! I stopped at 
the masjid today to pray duhr with my sister. We came out
and were walking back to the car when we see a group of
brothers. Usually, from experiance, I'v noticed that most
men here lower their gazes. I wish these brothers were like that.
About five of them chatting and we pass by them
and subhanallah all eyes turn and stare!
Its sooooo cold these days! Its funny how I'm not pleased with the heat and I hate freezing...summer is too hot and winter is too cold. Fall? I hate it! I hate the leaves piling up everywhere and everything looks sooo gloomy and sad. Spring, wallah i can't wait for March, April, and May. Those are my all time favorite months *probably because i was born in April*
My cousins came over to visit. They're going to be staying for a while =) and i don't mind one bit. Why? Because that means my faaav lil cuz is going to stay here with me
She's soo cute mashallah =) She brought me these cute lil slippers as a gift lol I think i'll wear them tonight to keep her happy.
I had an intresting convo with my nephew yesterday when I went to visit
Me: You don't hav school Yusuf? Or are you sick?
Him: Can I ask you something?
Me: Na3am, what happened?
Him: Does Allah get mad at you if you lie?
Me: You lied about something?
Him: I didn't want to go to school so I said that I don't feel good and mama let me stay home...is that bad?
That got us into talking about why lying isnt't good, and he promised not to do that again
Ahlan!
Its been a while since I've posted anything.
My sister had a state test today *or so she thought* so i cancelled all my plans and took her there this morning. We got there and the lady's like, "I'm so sorry, your test is tommorow" You can imagine how i felt, but i saw how sorry she looked so i forgave her for not double checking lol
I'm thinking about moving my blog to wordpress =) I haven't decided yet though. So we'll see inshallah...

Edit I've changed my mind about moving :p
This made me smile today. =) Sometimes we are the cause of our own problems, right?
Its funny how we humans take everything for granted. Even our breathing, try to hold it for more than a minute and you'll fail. Last night we had a power outage for a few minutes. I was in the garage when everything went black. Subhanallah i can only imagine the kind of life blind people live in...

"ACTIONS ARE BASED UPON INTENTIONS"
+

Funny how a little intention can change everything. Reminds me of some lyrics from Native Deen's Intention song.
+

Many times I have found my intentions
Are not what I want them to be
I know I start on the right direction
But Shaitan starts talking to me
And I forget that without my niyyah, I'm just wasting my time
My intentions cannot bring the reward, when they're out of line
So I pray to Allah to help me, to do everything for Him only
Doesn't matter if the people despise me
Cause with Allah I can never be lonely
Many times I have found my intentions
Are not what I want them to be
I know I start on the right direction
But Shaitan starts talking to me
And I forget that without my niyyah, I'm just wasting my time
My intentions cannot bring the reward, when they're out of line
So I pray to Allah to help me, to do everything for Him only
Doesn't matter if the people despise me
Cause with Allah I can never be lonely
May Allah give us pure intentions! Ameen
What Do I Want?
I want to be a mystery, yet be known
I want to be together, yet alone
Is it too much to ask, To be famous yet unknown?
To be a wanderer, yet have a home?
My insecurity makes me sick,
Yet my confidence makes me thick
Can I be harmless, yet grip the stick,
Be completely smooth yet have a nick?
Can I live in a lie, yet be true
Can I be unique, yet so like you?
Have no control, yet know what to do?
Can I be ugly, yet beautiful too?
Answer me, I need your help,
Can you help me or someone else?
I need your help, can't you see,
Are you even listening to me?

What do I want? Like if i could wish for one thing and you knew you'd get it right then and there, what would be the first thing that would come to your mind? That was the topic of our talk yesterday at the masjid. I didn't feel like talking much, so i let them do the talking.
Everyone recieved a slip of paper with the question, "If you could wish for one thing, what would it be? Write down the first thought that comes to your mind." I have to say it turned out a lot better than i expected it to. =) I got permission from some of the sisters if I could post their answers.
These were the answers of the older sisters...
"If i could wish for one thing, I would ask Allah that Allah makes me the cause of someone's conversion to Islam."
"I would wish for a pure heart, free from sins."
"I would ask for an easy path to Jannah."
And the answers of the younger girls...
"I wish that when I grow older I could go to Hajj and have all my sins erased."
"I would wish for Jannah!"
"I would ask for Allah's mercy, because if Allah has mercy on me, then that would be the best thing ever."
When was the last time you thought about the day of judgement? The last time you sat down and wondered, Am I going to be from the people of Jannah? Or the people of Jahanam? When was the last time that you sat down and cried, "Ya Allah! I know I've sinned and transgressed..but i know how merciful you are! Ya Rab forgive me..."

When was the last time you wondered, "Which hand will I recieve my book?" When was the last time you thought, "I have two angels literally sitting on my shoulders writing down every thought, act, and word that I say."
