Does that not bring comfort to your heart?

As-Sami; The Hearer of All

Al-Ghafur; The Forgiver and Hider of Faults

Al-Basit; The Reliever

Al-Wali; The Protecting Friend

.. These are only 4 of the 99 names of Allah.

Does that not bring comfort to your heart?

He is the All Hearer. He hears everything we say, the good and the bad, he hears the emotions we express in our Dua’s, the very Dua’s that we make to him whilst tears stream down our cheeks, the Dua’s we make and where we plead for Him to forgive our souls.

He is the Forgiver and Hider of faults. He is the one to whom we shall beg for forgiveness, He is the best of Forgivers. It is He who will forgive us for using foul language, it is He who will forgive us for the sins we take part it, and it is He who is the One that will hide them on the Day of Judgement.

Does that not bring comfort to your heart?

He is the Reliever, of all things, rely on Him and He will bring you relief. From pain, from stress, from family problems, from work, from life. Put your Trust in Him and through His Mercy, will He bring you relief.

Does that not bring comfort to your heart?

He is the Protecting Friend. The One that is always by your side, The One that will give you the help you need, anywhere and time, Call upon Him and He will protect. He is the Only One that will never turn His back on you.

change; you either love it or hate it

When it comes to people changing, there are a lot of comments as to why someone may want to change. Change; it may be their physical appearance, it may be an inner change or maybe a change in lifestyle, either way change can be either applauded or criticized.

Change does not mean that you have changed into someone your not, change means your growing, it means your maturing, it means your able to see and implement new things in your life.

Change is a process of life, growing is inevitable and we as fellow human beings need to adapt. There is no time limit to be whoever you want to be or to live the way please, we can either make the best or the worst of it.

We all hope to meet new people, some may have different points of view, some may share the same beliefs but with it all, you have to live a life you’re proud of. You have to give as much as you can, you have to accept that things may not always go according to plan or that some things in life are never meant to be.

Either way, we have to learn to understand that everything in this world, is written. We live according to His plans, and it is His plans that are better for us, more than we know.

If you feel like you have not experienced the best of life, and that you could do better, then I sincerely hope and pray that you have the courage to get up and start again.

– Allah swt is most merciful, Ya Ar’Rahim.

“Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent.”

How To Deal With Regret

Everything happens for a reason, it’s up to us to make sure we take the positive side of things.

Words of encouragement by 2HelpfulGuys –

Sometimes I ask myself – “do you feel like you should be different? Or act differently? Or feel differently?”

I don’t know if everyone asks himself or herself the same questions. Maybe you can quell my thoughts in the comments section below.

Recently, I’ve come to a realization. Everything that I have been through – the ups, the downs, the struggles and turmoil and everything in between – have made me the person I am today.

Regret is insignificant. No matter how hard we try, at this very moment, nothing about the past can be undone.

Regret is backward thinking

When you look to the past for answers, you are fighting an uphill battle. You desperately struggle as you battle the ravaging tides and the harsh winds.

Eckhart Tolle believes your egoic won’t let the past go because it needs it to feel alive. Your egoic mind wants to feel…

Boycotting after War: How come they only fix the bridge after somebody has fallen?

Possibly the best post I have read to date! ~

alwomen | النساء

As I help my mother with her shopping bags I notice an assortment of items from companies I decided to boycott during the war on Gaza last summer. Nescafé, Coca Cola, Polo mints all from the supermarket giant Tesco. However, beyond our weekly shop I have had a personal struggle, one which actually prevents me from enjoying the one thing that I love other than writing and politics and that is beauty and makeup.

israel Shujaiiyya neighbourhood in Gaza, July 2014

Makeup companies such as MAC, Esteè Lauder and Bobbi Brown are part of an umbrella company linked with supplying Israel with the means to destroy Gaza as they did during the summer. The turning point for me was the day I saw raw footage straight from Shujaiya, Gaza. The neighbourhood was completed devastated and bodies of civilians laid in the street. One particular clip from the video was of a…

CREATING UNSHAKABLE HAPPINESS

Everyone wants to be happy.

Well, most people I’ve met want to be happy. I won’t say everyone because I am sure that there are certain people out there who want to be sad and hey, if they are happy being sad, then let them be sad… and be happy about it.
If you are happy to be sad, then are you sad or happy? My brain hurts.

For those of us who want to be happy, it can seem like an impossible goal at times.

Someone new comes into your life and you are ecstatic. You get a new car and you take any excuse to go for a ride because you love it. Maybe you even earned a promotion and everything is looking up in life!

But then that person ends up hurting you, that car costs more in insurance, and that promotion has a lot more work…

‘They went to school and never came back’

16/12/14 – May Allah swt bless the people who were killed & who were shown no mercy. May the Gates of Paradise be open to them all, Ameen.

141 dead, 132 of them children.

Where is the humanity? what has this world come to, killing innocent children and for what reason?!..

I can’t begin to imagine how much horror and heart-ache the families of those affected must have been feeling. Waiting for news, neither good or bad, but just news as to whether their sweet girls or handsome boys are still alive, still breathing and still living.

Oh Ya’Allah..
