Jumaa Mubarak!

Salaams ladies
(and maybe to a few brothers too?)

It's almost 8am, I've just stepped out of the house and my first thoughts are subhan'Allah! The sun's shining and the birds are singing- Allah has blessed us with beautiful weather on this blessed day of Jumaa...

I spoke in my last post about my concern for my iman. Allhumdulillah yesterday I prayed the most beautiful Asr salah to me! All those things I spoke about in my last post returned, I was conscious of Allah, my heart was present during salah, worldy thoughts didn't come to me... Subhanallah!

I sat and as I made dua and began to thank Allah for all those things I could see around me, that he's blessed me with, I thanked him for being a muslimah who by his will has been guided. I thanked him for having a prayed a beautiful salah when tears began to drop like white pearls from my eyes.

Im not sure if they were tears of sadness for what I'd lost or tears of joy for having found what I'd lost... But wow! After weeks of feeling lost and alone, I once again had the feeling of contentment and much peace at heart.

Insh'allah, todays gonna be a good day- I can feel it! It's the blessed day of Jumaa, and even though I'm on my way to work (Whilst I wanna be in bed!) and getting my foot crushed in the car door, (It hurts!) Allhumdulillah - I feel good man! I feel happy! I'm content with my lot.. I don't need anymore as I have more than enough..

I love Allah! I love my religion! And I love you all for the sake of Allah...

Jumaa kareem my beautiful readers- have a fabulous day!

Salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Sister Jannah,

    Alhamdullilah I am so happy that you are feeling good, Alhamdullilah. Jumuah Mubarak to you too. I wanted to share this hadith with you.

    The Prophet (Sallalahu alaihi wa salam) said: "Whoever is mainly concerned about the Hereafter, Allaah will make him feel independent of others and will make him focused and content, and his worldly affairs will fall into place...but whoever is mainly concerned with this world, Allaah will make him feel in constant need of others and will make him distracted and unfocused, and he will get nothing of this world except what is decreed for him." (Tirmidhi)

    Asalaamu Alaikum Queenie
    Allhumdulillah im well.. (I tried to post this reply like a million times whilst at work but my iphone was flipping out again!)

    I havnt heard of the Qari you mention Sis. Inshallah ill google the name now and have a listen.

    Mishary Rashid Alafasy is mashallah, Amazing to me. His ecitiation is beautiful - some surahs pierce my heart man! Subhan'Allah.

    But mashallah on making an effort with the Quran. Keep listening more to the Quran and less to the music Sweetie as I find its the music that can be quite detrimental to a person deen.

    I always feel calm and peaceful when listening/reciting the Quran - and so humbled too.. Dont you just love that feeling?

    My Sis Chica made a very good point - its my neglect of my quran which was the result of my downfall over the past weeks I think.

    Keep it up sis
    Love you ladies
