Istighfar

I was watching a khutba by Omar Suleiman on Istighfar and he was talking about the power of istighfar. When a person sins, a black dot is placed on their heart and when he sincerely repents, not only does that black dot disappear, that place in his heart becomes polished as if he didn’t commit that certain sin in the first place.

One major point I took from this is that istighfar should be a focal point in our daily lives. We should say “astaghfirullah” constantly because not only does it erase sins when you repent sincerely by the will of Allāh, it also gives you clarity and makes you closer to Allāh swt.

The Prophet pbuh was sinless but one habit he had was he continuously engaged in istighfar, not because of sins but because he (pbuh) wanted a connection and clarity with Allāh

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: We counted the Prophet (pbuh) saying a hundred times during one single sitting:

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ

Rabb-ighfir lee, wa tub `alayya, innaka Antat-Tawwabur-Raheem!

“Oh Allāh, Forgive me and pardon me. Indeed, You are the Oft-Returning with compassion and Ever Merciful”.

Make a habit of this and even the lightest fog in our hearts will be cleared inshaaAllah!

Softy’s Guide to Facial Oils

Different oils and how to use them

Common Oils

Argan Oil – good for everyone; high in Vit E, great for helping heal scars, eczema, and dry scalp. Oleic acid helps regulate sebum production, and linoleic acid promotes healthy skin turnover, which can be good for acne control.

Avocado Oil – intense hydration; lots of fats and fatty acids; may be too hydrating for certain skin types

Castor Oil – promotes hair growth

Chamomile Oil – Sensitive skin; soothes redness and irritation

Coconut Oil – very moisturizing; however it’s comedogenic so it works well for the body, but may not be good for the face (but if it works for you, go for it!)

Jojoba Oil – all skin types; mimics natural sebum so it’s a good balancer for all sin types

Rosehip Oil – skin discolouration & scarring; also good for helping combat environmental stressors like dry air and wind; improve skin elasticity, boost skin cell regeneration,

Tea Tree Oil – acne (but NEEDS to be diluted if you have 100% tea tree oil)

These past few weeks I’ve been into somali poetry and they are lit the best of the best. if you’re any interested, start with Guba. It’s a series of poetries were several men from three of the biggest somali clans are going at each other.

It is so interesting to read up on it and I feel like my somali vocab has already gone better.

Geeridu waa xaq

Somalidu waxey odhaahdaan “Aduunyadani la sheego waa labo maalmood.” Isbuucyaashi ugu dambeysay waxaan la kulmay geeri badan - kuwo khuseeya ehelkeyga iyo kuwo khuseeya dad aanan aqoonin. And wallahi maraarkaas oo kale ayaa waxaad bilaabi inaad ka fakirtid addunyadani sideey fudeyd u tahay in looga tago. Waxaa laga yaabaa qof maanta kula fadhiyay, inaad berri xabaashiisa ka qeybgashid. 

Illaahay (swt) ha naga dhigo kuwii ku fakiraa Aakhiradooda ee acmaasha wanaagsan sameeyaa.

Aamiin 🙌

I never park in front of men because I dont wanna contribute to the stereotype they have of women not being able to park properly. I have to circle the block several times until im sure they’ve left 🤗 Its not me that will disgrace my gender

the purest form of love, i think, is having someone who wants to learn about you, from you, and with you.
