Dhul Hijra 1434

Another reminder of how FAITH can carry us thru ... by simply giving in and surrender to HIS will . Remember our Prophet , Abraham ... with trust and love , his son was spared by Allah's mercy. You too can be spared . First 10 days are the spark that lights the flame ...that is to remember the sacrifice and surrender. When we give up, give in and give all to HIM... we become healed and can manage our burdens easier. We can march on with patience and allow the light to shine thru us to others .. amin sub amin.

Shawwal ends for this year 1434

Whatever comes to us, from our faith has the purpose of teaching us right from wrong. What has Shawwal presented before us this year? For me this month has touched soo many parts of my existance .. a superb visit with my son and family ...seeing the loveliest of grand kids ..up close and personal; and then the return to Montreal and kindnesses of my surroundings here. The fullest heart and gratitude for my daily blessings will make me stronger for the future ...weekly halaqa, work with Al Mohsen , home in Place Gouin ..pleasanterie with neighbours, work at YWCA and YOGA practices, newly found social life with good people. My absolute source of inner strength found only in the Quran and the faith it instills . The economic security that enables me to live safely here and manage a life that is honorable . My gratitude is HUGE for the senior life that Allah has provided for me here. Shawwal has also afforded me the opportunities to visibly see the sequences of "asking and ye shall receive". eg.. mesjid in Jean Talon, healing for Ahsan Bhai , constant reassurance from Don. Remembrance to never stop praying for those in need and our dearly loved ones .Activity doing good deeds and serving TAkwah to our Creator makes up a good life... let it be for me this next year. AMIN AND YOU too!
