A Moment's Reflections

I am an outspoken Muslim. Not your typical Afghan. I speak 5 1/2 languages and learning them is my passion. Dreams, I have many of them, but only few come true. I live in reality so that I can accept it. I put the mind Allah has blessed me with to use by reflecting daily. I am perfectly imperfect. www.twitter.com/yosufeia

I LOVE doing this design for people. This is from early last week at a mehndi I did henna/mehndi at. It's not too complicated but looks gorgeous. (Taken with Instagram)

There is a famous story of The Prophet, in which he used to walk this certain route, everyday. This old woman, would throw garbage on him, every day. We’re not talking newspapers or plastic spoons, we’re talking like, animal parts and really gross stuff like that. The Prophet would just keep...

This was the single funniest thing I have ever seen a president do.

I’M STILL LAUGHING.

I will never not reblog this.

In a statement, President Obama commemorated the Muslim holiday of Ramadan — calling it a time to “cherish family, friends, and neighbors, and to help those in need.”

“On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to Muslim Americans and Muslims around the world at...

Control.

I hate it. Makes me want to be rebellious.

LOL This made my day. I was at work smiling & laughing to myself. This is a great reminder. Don't be lazy. Do your salah. #Muslim #Islam #salah #pray #NoExcuses #Afghan #Batman #Robin (Taken with Instagram)

There is better and there is worse.

There is better and there is worse out there. Never get caught up in your worse forgetting about the better that awaits you. When you forget about the better that you have, just think about the worse that people go through. Take a look at the innumerable people dying in Syria. Think of the parents who are watching their children being slaughtered into pieces. Think of the innocent civilians who die so often in Afghanistan and Pakistan. How would you feel if you were living in such an environment? How would you feel if you went to sleep at night with the fear of not seeing morning? How would feel if you woke up in the morning with the fear of sleeping with an empty stomach? Seriously, look at the reality of others and then realize the reality of yourself. Realize that the bad times you have are good times for another. One person's hell is another person's earth. Do not take life for granted.

Be thankful.
