Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Oh yes, I will miss… I will miss the feeling of knowing that you are both close to me.
I will miss the feeling of knowing I can count on you at any time of the day or night.
I will miss not being able to help you in ANY way I can and/or whenever you need! Just as a family!
I will miss baking biscotti and chocolate cakes for you!
I will miss the long chats drinking illy coffee… mashaAllah!
I will miss jumping from a discussion about cooking to a discussion about the deen! LOL! MashaAllah!
I know I will miss … I will miss you both! My dear sisters in Islam! Love you so much! SubhanaAllah!

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
yesterday morning I had to go out. I was a bit scared to be honest. Going out on my own with the kids after all that! I had to, anyway, hubby not around so no chance to have his help, mashaAllah.
So the kids and I got ready and off we went mashaAllah. I was wondering about the neighborhood, how it was going to ‘look like’ and ya Allah! It shocked me! SubhanaAllah! This is what I saw as soon as I stepped outside of my building! The sky was cloudy, 2 cars… well what was left of the 2 cars.. were ‘parked’ too…. I was shocked! I had my eyes full of tears! 2 police officers standing at each side of the building, obviously it’s a limited area now. My thoughts went to those Muslims who live this every day, see this every day and every where in their countries.. subhanaAllah! May Allah help them, really!
London Riots – Ramadhaan 2011

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I haven’t been checking the news on line for a while, not even when logging into my yahoo email. It was yesterday that I understood what was going on, when my husband told me that all the shop down our road were forced to close at 7pm by the police… my face: ???
Something was going on, some violence spread all over the city of London, I checked on line and finally understood. In short: ‘angry youth’ breaking ‘everything’, ya Allah! May Allah guide them for real!! And we are not just talking about throwing stones at the police (which is stupid anyway!) but setting shops, houses and cars on fire! I mean, look at this photos:

Last night I had a couple of sweet sisters who sent me a text, barakaAllahu fikunna! Making sure I was staying at home and that my family and I were fine, alhamdulillah! ‘Isha and Taraweeh prayer were cancelled as the riots were just under the masjid by maghrib time! Infact, it took some time for the brothers to get back home after the prayer, the police was blocking everything. I just hope all our brothers and sisters in London are fine and safe inshaAllah! And won’t get involved in this STUPID acts, especially ‘our youth’!!!

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
“Today, there are many misconceptions about Islam and we hope that by expressing ourselves and other Muslim women through print media we are able to showcase the glorious faith we call Islam.”
The magazine strictly follows Qur’an & Sunnah masha’Allah tabarakaAllah! Click on the picture and have a look at the website insha’Allah!
BarakaAllahu fikunna!
I hope…

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I hope, yes, I hope to be doing some good as a muslimah, some good as a sister in Islaam, a wife and a mother…
I hope to learn more and more about the deen, to learn as much as I can until the last minute of my life in this dunya, insha’Allah!
I hope whatever I’ve been doing to help ad-Dawah as-Salafiyyah will help the Ummah, even if a very little, even if just 1 person… insha’Allah!

Snowball Cookies

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I’ve been thinking to make these cookies for ages subhanaAllah! I’ve been searching on line for days before finding (finally! Allahu Akbar!) the recipe!. I’ve tasted them a couple of times, from a plate of Moroccan Cakes… dry style cakes, with nuts, dates and some dried fruit too… how much I like them!!! I’ve always thought ‘if they are so nice mashaAllah, they must be very difficult to make’… well, no, I was wrong! Alhamdulillah! The easiest cookies ever, ready in half an hour and, as the recipe says ‘they taste better the next day”.. could you resist? I didn’t! And I think I’ll never do! LOL!
The recipe is from Cooking with Alia: Snowball Cookies
My attempt in pic (btw, I’ve joined together 4 or 5 cookies only)

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
time has passed so fast subhanaAllah! It seems yesterday that I was breathing under the hot algerian sunshine. And well, yes, a month has passed in that strange country mashaAllah!. Strange? Yes, strange for all the strangeness happening in it but to which you know, you’ll have to get used to! InshaAllah!
Once back in Uk, I’ve felt ‘myself’ strange! While I was going to visit one of my very missed Salafi (well yes, you like it or not I use this word mashaAllah) sister, I’ve looked around and seen no-muslims UNDRESSED. I passed by a parked car and saw myself reflected on the window and thought “do I match all this scenario?” obvious answer, anyone could easly say “NO”.
I’ve spent this time in Algeria with a different intention alhamdulillah. It hasn’t been easy at all. Been through big tests subhanaAllah but mashaAllah I’ve always kept inside of me the tawakkul alhamdulillah! And never wished to go back to England. Then, what for? Even when sick I’ve felt the barakah of being in a muslim country. And I’m not even mentioning the warm feeling of having my mother in law close by mashaAllah tabarakaAllah!. What I thought is that when I’m sick in England (for example) I make it a real drama subhanaAllah! I say alhamdulillah, anyway, but it’s still a drama, astaghfirullah! Instead, while being in Algeria, it’s all another story. Coming back from doctor I’ve decided to go to visit my mother in law. And there I was subhanaAllah! Not even thinking too much about me being a “meridhah meskinah” LOL!
So, yes, this is part of the hijrah inside of me. It has started, alhamdulillah, and I put my trust in Allah, especially after all the 30,000 du’as I’ve made on the plane “I know He will answer inshaAllah, if not in days but in months”, I thought so, and tack! He answered very quickly, Allahu Akbar!
Sorry, it might not make sense what I wrote, it’s just the explosion of different emotions inside of me, I just know one thing: I will only miss my Salafi Sisters mashaAllah! Love you all for the sake of Allah!
