10th Rajab 1439

Previous warnings always advised us to hold fast to the rope of faith . We try to do this but Iblis seems to damage our hands and heart so the Jihad is severe at times . Another way is to simply look for ways to please Allah with what we do and say .  If you can do this, HE will please you , fulfill you and enrich your life . What more do we need ? One suggestion is , " If you relieve the eye that was about to cry and made it laugh , Allah will be pleased. 

Please save my grey hair from the fire of Hell . 

Bring valour and courage all around me as these years fly by so that I will remain my BEST !

28th Zul Hijjah 1438

It has taken me this so many moons to come back to my blog .  my life was in some kind of a blur and I could not find my " happiness" . I prayed and prayed and prayed again ... could not find the relief that I sought for. I recently learned that Iblis is the power that removes happiness . "Aoozu billa he rabbil alaymine ." I must have been under his powers for these many moons. Please forgive me , MY RABB.

As I wish to write today and be present in my NOW ...I feel the need to fiercely  hold onto TODAY and NOW as all that I have . The "blur" that overcame me presented a cloud of anxiety that clouded everything I believe in .  Please accept today , the end of Zul Hijjah as all I have to see now . Let me refresh my soul and open my heart to the light that it can hold for me . Please help me keep sharing good deeds that will enlighten my path and those around me . Allah may HE give me enough light on Judgement  Day to see my way on the road to my final resting place ..wherever HE chooses for me . I trust in HIM as my only source of strength . Let my faith hold tight to my heart and allow success on my final day on this earth .

Soon we will start the New Year with Muharram 1439 . Let us be cognizant of the foibles on this earth that may dissuade me from my "straight path ".  Peace and love to all on this same journey .

4th Jumada I 1438

TODAY starts another month in which reminders help us to see HIS will in our lives. BE the EXAMPLE YOU WISH TO SEE in this world . Persevere in the wisdom and knowledge that all will be well that will end well . Our journey is finite here but we are safe in the Hereafter FOREVER.

All I can really share is my FAITH here in order to be resilient thru these earthly trials . Let my behaviour be balanced and asking to know the absolute TRUTH before I transition over the bar .

I love my RABB in hope and contentment.

Rabi II day 17 1438

Today as I open my eyes again this morning , I am again reminded of my humility before my Creator . I am simply a slave to HIS plan and I feel once again very unsure of my small role to play on this earthly journey .  My daily task is to serve and provide love to those around me . This will be as HE sees fit and I ask for HIS guidance and direction . If there are new avenues that I must follow , please help me to see them and move onwards safely as YOU direct me .

This past month has been a tribute to FAMILY . Visiting the three children and their families has brought me much pleasure and I give thanks to them all for providing me these opportunities . The role of a matriarch is an enviable position when the children are all so nurturing and caring . Gratitude to my Rabb for them .

Rabi II 3rd

As we begin a new year on the Gregorian calendar , I wish to remain focussed on HIS plans for my life this year . As I am recovering from a sudden shock with a  health crisis that was ameliorated by an everwatchful God and His angels providing care from my family in Chicago , medical professionals and many observing onlookers.

I am totally grateful to my Rabb . His plan is always better than anything I might envisage. Let me surrender to HIS wisdom and accept the WHAT IS of TODAY! It is taking time to heal and recover NOW.

The present moment with a meditative heart will always bring the BEST before my vision.

Let me  remain vigilant about my personal concerns allowing the power from above to direct my thoughts and footsteps .  AMIN .
