Pray no matter what!!

Hasan Al-Basree advised some of his students admonishing them about avoiding the state of being proud. He said: 

1) Do not deceive yourself into becoming too proud because you are in a good or righteous environment, for there is no place that is better than Paradise, and our father, Adam ‘alayhi salaam, experienced there what is known to all.

2) Do not become proud merely because you worship often, for consider what happened to Iblees after he spent a great deal of time worshipping.

3) Do not think yourself great because you have met with righteous people, for there is no man more righteous than the Prophet salAllaahu ‘alahi wasallam, yet the disbelievers and hypocrites did not benefit by simply knowing him

It's Spring...Sike!

Today was such a lovely day outside! The sun was shining and it was just the perfect temperature; not too hot and not too cold. The breeze was blowing calmly and campus was filled with people laying out relaxing underneath the sun...completely disregarding the fact that it's only February! All in all, today was such a tease. It was the weathers way of reminding us that it's still winter, and making us feel bad about it on top of that. Astakhfarallah haha despite all of that, my state of mind is spring chillin. So I say...

Let the flowers bloom

National Cherry Blossom Festival

This is one of my favorite times of the year in D.C. I went last year with my friends and had a great time. I hope to go again this year and so should you if you live in the DMV area. Anyway, These are some of my personal photos from last years event. Enjoy :)

Beautiful!

Praying in the out in the grass is one of my favorite moments ever.

Muslim Moment #4

Surah: 13. ar-Ra'd (ayah 23)
Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there as well as the righteous among their fathers their spouses and their offspring: and angels shall enter unto them from every gate (with the salutation)

Day 30: Someone you miss

I miss too many people, but i'm going to list them all iA. I miss all the people that I've ever loved that have passed away. Up until two years ago, I've never truly felt the pain of losing someone close to me, but since than I've become more aware of death. SubhanAllah, we truly do belong to Allah and we shall return to him. I miss my family, those that live in America, but I don't get to see as much as I should, and those that live on other parts of the world. I wish I could see them more often. Lastly, I miss anyone that I used to be close with; I just want that closeness we used to have back. 

Muslim Moment #3

Imagine If London Was Occupied by Israel

If you are not familiar with what is occurring in Palestine today, than you need to watch this video. It will put in perspective for you what the Palestinians are going through on a day to day basis. May Allah grant them patience and reward them for what they are going through in this world.

Muslim Moment #2

Day 29: A photo that always makes you smile

This photo of my grandmother and my sister makes me smile and tingle all over just because I can almost feel the happiness that is shining through this photo. Nothing makes me happier than the sight of my grandmother smiling, and this is nothing but a moment of bliss captured in time mashAllah tabarakAllah. 

Day 28: Something your afraid of

Nothing causes more fear in me than Allah swt, but that fear is definitely a good thing. A person that doesn't truly fear Allah is not a true believer in my humble opinion. I fear Allah's punishment and His anger more than anything. This fear I have deeply rooted inside of me helps me to become a better Muslimah because without it what would stop me from following my desires? Although Allah's punishment is great, and His strength even greater, He is still the most merciful and all forgiving.
