Free Abu Taubah Defense & Support Fund

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

As I have always tried to be honest with you all. I would like to say that you people ask us to teach. You say, “come back to the West and share that knowledge that Allaah has blessed you all with.” But when we come back we mostly get emotional support. And even in that, everytime some scandal comes wherein we are being tested many of you all leave us flat. You want us to sacrifice but you are not willing to even be bothered. You ask us to teach class and you only come half of the time or don’t even prepare. This has to change. The Prophet said that knowledge will disappear through the disappearance of the people of knowledge. Those possessing authenic old-fashioned Islaamic training and cultivation are rare in the world today and even rarer in the West. Get it before its gone.  (Abu Taubah)

I don’t belong here

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!

Learning Roots: Remind me

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

as suggested by Umm Raiyaan masha’Allah I’ve bought the du’as card from Learning Roots alhamdulillah. I was surprised ’cause lately my shopping online experiences haven’t been so …. we can say… “happy” LOL!

I’ve received the cards in 2 days masha’Allah and finally been able to stick them around the house alhamdulillah! As soon as I’ve stuck the first one in the kitchen, I’ve seen my oldest son showing interest to it… all those colors and arabic writing…

And yes, it’s true, they are very helpful for us grown up too alhamdulillah! So, if you want my opinion too…. buy them insha’Allah!

My little one

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I still remember the first time you looked at me… and now you look at me with those  “naughty” eyes mashaAllah!

The first time I saw you I cried, I cried a lot subhanaAllah! And I cried for days and nights. I remember waking up during the night and have tears and tears coming out from my eyes, I couldn’t stop them… and when I think about it, I remember it as a dream, a bitter sweet dream… Ya Allah! Your tests! And we never appreciate! … alhamdulillah!

I spent months reviving my imaan, putting my trust in Allah, making some du’as that, as a Muslim, I had never made before… but still, I knew, I knew that Allah was going to answer them, I believed that! I did indeed! I just needed patience and more patience mashaAllah!

Months before (“the test”) I asked Allah to increase my imaan and the imaan of my family… and so He answered.. Allahu Akbar!!

 

‘Eid Mubarak!

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

while i bake for tomorrow insha’Allah…

So verily, with the hardship, there is relief..

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!


So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,
Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs)
[94:5-6]
I’ve always been thinking about this ayah during the past months, to be more precise, in the past year … nearly!
I’ve been making du’a, lots of du’as! I’ve never felt alone  ’cause I knew that Allah was simply “testing” me alhamdulillah!
My test hasn’t been something so “serious” as it might sounds but a normal test, a test that has blessed me as a muslim woman.
Yes, I’ve been blessed by it because during that period I’ve been able to take “big” decisions , to fight for my rights as a muslim woman and over all to keep holding to the rope of Islam alhamdulillah!
Sometimes I was thinking “well, I better ‘wait’ that all this finish and then I’ll do this and that..” there’s nothing worst than thinking that way! I mean, I wasn’t thinking about starting to go to the market every morning or things like that but I was thinking to start something like acts of ibadah…  anyway deen related! You’ve got what I mean I think ;) And anyway, I won that little “battle” inside of me alhamdulillah!
The Prophets (as) have been praying years making du’a to Allah and before having some answers… subhanaAllah… and still we “cry” for not receiving what we are asking Allah to after few days maybe (???)…
And since I started to forget about this dunya… Allah has showed me how ArRaheem He is subhanaAllah!

“For Muslim men and women – for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity and for men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise – for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward” [Surah Al-Ahzab aya 35]

As salamu alaykum wa’ rahmatullahi wa’ barakatuhu!

I wanted to blog, I really wanted, but wasn’t sure about what. I turned my head then and saw my son sleeping mash’Allah and I thought “Subhan’Allah time is flying!” It seems yesterday that I gave birth to him and here he is mash’Allah. It seems yesterday that I was pregnant wishing that time was passing quickly! And now I wish the time goes slowly instead… ya Rabbi, I shouldn’t really think like this, as usual is all just dunya.

time flying.......

Every day I’m thinking about my future: my family, our Hijrah insh’Allah, homeschooling, memorizing Qur’an, learning more Arabic.. lots of plans but then I stop and think about the ibadah. If my acts of ibadah are enough. I really wish to do more but I guess it’s time for me to reflect and learn from this period of my life alhamdulillah! Insh’Allah Allah will accept my intentions… ameen!

When something like this happens to me, I mean living a “weird” period of dunya, I make lots of du’as alhamdulillah! And every time Allah shows me how much He is close to me mash’Allah! So, whenever I make du’a, I’m sure Allah is listening to me and, in a way or in another, He’ll deal with it …

“And your Lord said: ‘Invoke Me [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism) and ask Me for anything] I will respond to your (invocation). Verily, those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!’” [Ghaafir 40:60]

“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright”
[al-Baqarah 2:186]
