Life Update

Baby Haruru is now 4 months old and named as Baby Rashaad. Please say Allahumma Barik Lahu.

[thoughtsofameranaomuslimwife]

I am scared.

Finally, i am now on my 8th month of pregnancy, Alhamdulillah. I may not be very vocal on how grateful i am, but i really am grateful. ALHAMDULILLAH! After 6 years of being married, Allah has blessed me to experience this pregnancy journey. Indeed, Allah is the most gracious & the most merciful.

As my expected due date approaches, I feel more anxious and a little bit scared. I am scared of what might happen to me and baby haruru. Oh Allah, please protect us and grant me and my future son an easy and safe delivery. Ameen. May You strengthen me physically and emotionally. May You take away all the anxiety and fear that i feel right now. Please help me to take all the negativity that weakens me. Make me a stronger a woman for my baby haruru and my husband. Ameen.

May You bless my little haruru to become a pious and kind person. In shaa Allah. May You grant our little family a piece of jannah in this worldly life. May we live our lives pleasing You alone. May we be contented for all the blessings that You’ve given us. Thank You Allah for all the things that you’ve given me. 💕

Don’t be disappointed if your deeds go unappreciated & unrewarded in this world. Don’t worry. It’s the nature of man to forget. Constantly remind yourself that people will forget & overlook. The Almighty doesn’t. He will reward you for all that you’ve done & your patience!

Ya Allah help me to get through this. You alone i worship, You alone i trust my fate.

10 Mistakes When Studying

1. “I Don’t Know where to Begin.”

Make a list of all the things you have to do. Break your workload down ito manageable chunks. Prioritize. Schedule your time realistically. Begin studying early, with an hour or two per day, and slowly build as the exam approaches.

2. ‘I’ve Got So Much to Study…And so Little Time"

Preview. Survey your syllabus, reading material, and notes. Identify the most important topics emphasized, and areas still not understood. Previewing saves time, by helping you organize and focus in on the main topics.

3. “This Stuff is so Dry, I can’t Even Stay Awake Reading It”

Get actively involved with the text as you read. Ask yourself, “What is important to remember about this section?” Take notes or underline key concepts. Discuss the material with others in your class. Stay on the offensive.

4. “I Read It. I Understand It. But I Just Can’t Get it To Sink In”

Elaborate. We remember best the things that are most meaningful to us. As you are reading, try to elaborate upon new information with your own examples. Try to integrate what you’re studying with what you already know. You will be able to remember new material better if you can link it to something that’s already meaningful to you.

Chunking: Example: to remember the colors in the visible spectrum, Rog G.Biv –> reduce the information the three “chunks”.

Mnemonics: Associate new information with something familiar.

5. “I Guess I Understand It”

Test yourself. Make up questions about key sections in notes or reading. Examine the relationships between concepts and sections. Often, imply by changing section headings you can generate many effective questions.

6. “There’s Too Much to Remember”

Organize. Information is recalled better if it is represented in an organized framework that will make retrieval more systematic.

Write chapter outlines of summaries; emphasize relationships between sections.

Group information into categories or hierarchies, where possible.

Information Mapping. Draw up a matrix to organize and interrelate material.

7. “I Knew It A Minute Ago”

Review. After reading a section, try to recall the information contained in it. Try answering the questions you made up for that section. If you cannot recall enough, re-read portions you had trouble remembering. The more time you spend studying, the more you tend to recall. Even after the point where information can be perfectly recalled, further study makes the material less likely to be forgotten entirely. How you organize and integrate new information is still more important than how much time you spend studying.

Today i was slapped with a reality how hard the heart of people nowadays, including me.

[thoughtsofameranaomuslimwife]

Something i learned today: It’s never too late for anything. You just have put your mind on it and in sha Allah everything will fall into its rightful places.

[mufti-ismail-menk]

When you want to give advice, do so in such a way that people will want to listen to you. Don’t be mean and hurtful. Don’t use harsh words and turn them off. Be genuine in wanting to correct their ways and help them get back on track. Your sincerity will long be remembered.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people that love you, simply for being you. The once in a lifetime kind of people.”
