Al7amdolellah just handed in my English coursework which will make up 40% of my grade for this year and 20% of my grade overall for my two years of study. I stayed up until 1am last night stressing and trying to make it all perfect, inshaAllah I’ll get a good grade! It’s now a weight off my shoulders, al7amdolellah! I’ve got one more lesson but then I’m going to head off to...

“Revealed the true origins of Islam”
And surprise, surprise, it wasn’t positive. It is about a historian called Tom Holland who has written a book called “In the shadow of the sword: The battle for the global empire and the end of the ancient world.”
He has critically analysed Islam and the belief of Muslims. From saying that the sources that teach us about...

A couple of days ago I posted a status on Facebook saying how it was interesting that Mohamed Merah had already been labelled as a terrorist by the media (btw I am completely against what he did) but people who committed equally horrific crimes such as Anders Behring Breivik (of the Norwegian shootings) are never given that title. Tonight my grandparents came over for dinner at my house and my...

Today was a good day al7amdolellah :)
Last year at college I used to attend a group called “Islaah” every week, but it didn’t continue this year. The man who ran it is mashAllah a good speaker and is also a trained counsellor so I had a few sessions with him, in the build up to me becoming Muslim, tackling all the different issues I had. Today he came in to speak at our Islamic...

My aunt
Yesterday marked two years since the death of my only aunt. It was something that happened so suddenly. No illness or disease, she suffered a brain haemorrhage while visiting another part of the country, ironically she was there to attend a funeral. Al7amdolellah my dad managed to drive across the country and get my grandparents to the hospital while she was still breathing, but my sister, my mum...

The Crow Looking In
There appears to be a growing trend amongst Muslims today where knowledge is used as a proverbial club that beats down anyone who differs with their line of thinking. Discussions regarding Islamic thought that were once considered sacred and adorned with manners (adab) between scholars, are now left to the internet blogs and vlogs, loaded with cursing, name-calling, and...

So as I type this, Xandra (qalbee.tumblr.com) is on her way to Egypt and I’ve gotta say, I am a bit jealous! I don’t really know her at all, I just follow her blog, so I hope she isn’t creeped out by me mentioning her name here!
Anyhow…as I previously wrote about, my hopes were to travel to Egypt at Easter or whenever I could really but all of that hope of going in the...

The kindness of strangers
One day before I was Muslim, 11th September 2010 to be precise, I went shopping in a city nearby buy a few things in preparation for starting college. I remember the date because I was dressed in hijab and worried the date may cause some problems or comments to be said. After I had done some of my shopping I sat down on a bench just to take a rest, a man who had been selling olives and...

I just prayed with a sister for the first time :)
So today started off on a bad foot, I left the house, felt in my coat to take out my bus pass only to discover it wasn’t there, went back to my house and had a search but it was nowhere to be found. This could prove to be an expensive mistake so it wasn’t the best start to the week. However! Just before dhuhr I noticed that the brothers had already left the prayer room and were waiting outside, I...

SUBHAN ALLAH I have this exact problem! I still need 2 days, and I faint a lot, that’s why I’m scared to!
Aww inshaAllah you’ll be ok sis :) two days isn’t a lot, maybe it would be better to fast on days when you’re at home :)

Making up my missed fasts
InshaAllah tomorrow I’m going to start trying to make up my missed fasts again, since last weeks “incident”. There’s 11 more to do (2 weeks of my Ramadan were spent travelling with my family) and the days are getting longer but inshaAllah I’ll do it! I know there are still months to go but I want to try and get this done soon because they are weighing on my mind!...

I was praying dhuhr in college today while the brothers waited for me outside the prayer room. Our prayer room is in a busy corridor in which modern languages and maths are taught. One of the brothers, stood in this corridor, while students were rushing up and down, started to recite the Koran! SubhanAllah it sounded beautiful, slightly distracting for me who was trying to focus on what I was...

Talking about Islam
Recently I’ve had some really interesting conversations about Islam with the girls I sit with in my English class. There is one girl in particular who has the personality where she asks a lot of questions, I guess I would say she is curious. Today she asked me where we pray in college as she thought she heard the boys praying. She asked if I was in the room, I said I wasn’t as men and...

Lo! Conspiracy is only of the devil, that he may vex those who believe; but he can harm them not at all unless by Allah’s leave.

As salam alaikum. Shia propoganda. They exagerate a lot and they also use music and disturbing images which they really dont need to.
W alaikum asalam :) agreed on the music front, it unnecessarily adds dramatic tension, is it really shia?
