Excerpt from a story I’m writing

*FLASHBACK*

KNOCK KNOCK

"Amina get the door, hon" Dad says.

I open and see him there. I cant even bare to say his name anymore, that's how much I dislike him.

I unlock the door, even though I so badly want to shut it in his face, and sat back down at the dining table where I was doing my homework. Mum came out the kitchen and asked "Who came?"

Before I could answer, he came in and screamed, "MA!!!" and gave her a bear hug.

"Muhammad..." she said confused. "What's that smell? Where have you been? Its almost midnight?"

"Oh Ma! I've missed you so much!" he said with tears in his eyes.

"Oh I missed all of you!" he said now laughing.

"What's wrong with you!" I said as he was pinching my cheeks. Something was up and he reeked of cigarette or something. Dad came and said the same thing mum said.

They both ordered me to go upstairs to my room. I wanted to argue back but somehow I knew this was not the right time to talk back to my parents. I went upstairs and tried to listen...

I heard dad screaming and Muhammad yelling back and then crying and then laughing again. Wow something was wrong with this guy. What did he eat? And why did he reek of smoke? I had so many questions in my head. But finally everything went quiet downstairs and all I could hear where mum's soft sobs...

*FLASHBACK OVER*

What do ya think?

A woman reaches under a block from the apartheid wall trying to hold the hand of her mother on the other side. Many families have become segregated after the Israeli occupation regime completed the construction of the wall which runs through Palestinian lands. This is just one of thousands of cases.

This just broke my heart. SubhanAllah....say Alhamdulilah that you have your mother and pray for those that don't.

I know this will probably cause a lot of discussions and a lot of people going wild AGAIN. But oh welk, gonna have to share what I want to share🙅

[justroda]

Dear Allah,

SubhanAllah. I just want to cry, wallahi. And you know I don't like crying in front of people, even though I try so hard I can't...not in the way I do when I'm alone with you ya Allah. Its just today you guided to me lots of beautiful things...at least made me realize what I have and what my goal is. Oh Allah I ask you to forgive me. To make me humble & sincere. Patience, kind, loving, and most of all guide me to the truth, protect me from the evils of this world. And guide me to the right choices in life. And ya Allah....be pleased with me. Because that's all I want...to have you pleased with me...and if you are....that would be a joy!

Please forgive for all the things I neglect, forget, and don't accept. Alhamdulilah! ....I can't say it enough. OH Allah I have so many due...and stuff to ask you....OH ALLAH I WANNA MEET YOU!!! Oh how I wish to see you..... Ya Allah....Al-Hadi...The one that guides....Guide my family....my parents, my sisters, my brothers...my sister-in-law, and my whole family as well.

Oh Allah I try...and I will fail (sometimes)...but ya ALlah keep my intentions sincere and for you (Ash-Shakoor) because honestly I am not trying to please them! I am only want attention from you Ash Shakoor, Al Wali, AL Raqeeb...YOU YA Allah, ya Rabbi!

"Make me better than what they think about me, forgive me for what they don't know about me, and don't hold me accountable for what they say about me". Ameen Ya rabbil Alameen.

Ya Allah help me hold my tongue. Let me chose silence if that's is better for me. But let me speak the truth and say the truth, and be just! And ya Allah please forgive me if I fail and help me remember you in my every downfall, forgive me ya ALlah.

This week I have done lots of evils ya ALlah and mostly only you know about. Please forgive me. I might think they're small but actually they can jeopardize my Akhira! Please forgive me. And don't let me think any sin as of "small"...but make it huge for me to realize it.....I don't think that make sense but You know what I'm trying to say .

Ya Rabbi forgive me for all my past sins, the ones I will commit in the future, and keep me coming back to you always, and ya Allah still grant me jannatul Firdows! 

Allahumma Ameen 

Sincerely,

Unknown

The Question the Subway lady asked me:

Lady: (So while taking my order, the lady finally asked) "Why do you cover your hair/head?"

Me: (I answered smiling) "Because my God told me to."

Lady: "It don't say anything in the Bible that you have to cover your hair"

Me: "Well, I don't go by the Bible. I have a different religion."

Lady: What that religion

Me: Islam. I follow Islam. And in our holy text, the Quran. Tells us woman to cover up so we aren't "bothered" with. To be modest. And so people can look at us for what's on the inside and not what's on the outside."

Lady: (Smiles and is speechless).

**Now that she's about to ring up my order.***

Me: (Trying to get the conversation going, and thinking of something else) Oh, and not only Muslim women cover their hair also Orthodox Jews cover their hair as well. Not only in Islam does it say to cover your hair.

Lady: But Mary didn't cover her hair.

Me: Yes she did.

Lady: No she just had a veil on her head. She didn't cover all of her head, like you.

Me: Well, the nuns cover their hair. They cover almost all the body parts that we cover.

Lady: Yea, the nuns do cover. But that's because they're pure.

Me: Pure? (not understand what she meant by that).

Lady: Yea..they're pure.

Me: Well, I guess if you mean pure in that way. Muslim women are "pure" until they get married.

Lady: (Not believing it) So you don't have a boyfriend?

Me: Nope.

Lady: You telling me, you don't talk to men?

Me: No.

Lady: At all?

Me: No. I don't, unless they are my co-workers, or people working like here or something. I don't talk to men like in a relationship way, no.

Lady: (having a surprised smile on her face) How old are you?

Me: (laughing) 19.

Lady: (she says smiling, looking pleased with my answers) Well that's it. I have nothing else to say.

Me: (smiling) Its really good that you're asking questions, you know, instead of just assuming. Because you didn't know.

Lady: (reaching to get my cookie) Yea I didn't know.

Me: Thank you!

Lady: Have a nice day!

Me: You too!

"What will you do-oo for a klondike bar!!"

[dawat-us-salafiyyah-deactivated]

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “When a Muslim, or a believer, washes his face (in the course of Wudu’), every sin which he committed with his eyes, will be washed away from his face with water, or with the last drop of water; when he washes his hands, every sin which he committed by his hands will be effaced from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of water; and when he washes his feet, every sin his feet committed will be washed away with the water, or with the last drop of water; until he finally emerges cleansed of all his sins.” [Saheeh Muslim 475]

The Wisdom in Washing the Specified Body Parts During Wudu’

[crysttallcllear-deactivated2014]

I’m currently in the library working on some stuff on illustrator.

I got up to get a tissue and as I was walking to get the tissue, there was a group of Saudis/Kuwaiti boys sitting down talking and all. 

One made eye contact, looked back at his friends, said something, then all of them turned to look at me.

I should have waved. Or winked. Or blew kisses. 

I should have thrown them off

(I would NEVER do anything like that, just fyi).

Instead I looked down & carried on walking.

[justroda]

I hate when they do that! It makes feel weird. Then I start being aware of all my moves I make...and I can still feel there stare!!! ...One of these days, I will just...ugh! I dunno. 

[justroda]

I love this!

Alhamdulilah, a day of fasting is almost coming to an end.  May Allah accept.
