“When a child has a tantrum and cries for chocolates and sweets, a mother will not give in. She knows what is more beneficial for her child and will only give that.
At that time, not giving chocolates and sweets is what is best for the child.
Similarly, when we cry and beg Allah [...]
It was just one of those days that make you want to crawl back into bed, put your covers over your head, and sleep until things just fix themselves. But I crawled out of bed, got dressed and moved on with my life. Why? Why didn’t I just sulk in my unhappy state? Because I [...]
I want to change the world–with my own two hands
Grab hold of all the problems and erase them from all the lands

Find a way to brighten up–every persons week
Make sure everyone feels loved, and no ones left behind
Teach the oppressors and transgressors how to [...]

Allahu Akbar- Put it all behind you
as you stand before your lord
Allahu Akbar- He is the greatest

so on that day He’ll give you such.
It’s a divine link, between you [...]

When I’m sitting on the sidelines watching my friends chat their lives away with guys, trying to find a place to sit where I cant be seen. Trying to find someone to chill with who wont invite a guy over to join the convo….The words ring in my head.
