Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
did it ever happen to you that the easiest of things becomes the most difficult one to do? Or, in my (and in this) case… to get?
Let me tell you the story….. make yourselves a cup of coffee or tea first 
Since my dh’s last visit to Dz, I’ve been asking for the book of Shaykh al-Albani (rahimahullah) “Al-Hijaab”, in arabic. None of the bookshops had it subhanaAllah! Well, apparently most (or all, Allahu a’alam) of al-Albani’s books have been banned in Algeria… la hawla wa la quwata illa billah! So we are playing the “waiting game” now LOL! Hopefully we’ll get one inshaAllah!
Not happy at all, astaghfirullah, I decided to order one on line, in english. “Come on, I saw it, it’s in english and I can buy it from darussalam with just one click!” – I thought – Checked the darussalam website and khalas, finito, no more that book! 
I’ve been searching and searching… subhanaAllah it seemed like when during Ramadhaan you run out of bread and are looking for some to buy just before iftar!
Then I finally googled the title and got the link of an english website… based in London! Allahu Akbar! I was sooo happy mashaAllah! I was expecting to receive it in few days… so I bought it! …. I received it after well… 10 days (???)
In case you are interested, I bought the book from HERE
Did anyone of you read it before? 
jazakhum Allahu khayran!
Here I am!

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
You see?? I’ve loaded some pictures!!! Wohooooo!! 
I’ve always wished to post them, I took them during my last visit in Algeria. It’s in the wilaya of Chlef, country side (of course!).
I enjoyed that afternoon so much! And then it was sooooo quiet masha’Allah! Lots of trees and green! That area was full of rumman (pomegranate) trees, on the left and on the right. I managed to take a picture from the car on our way back. Asking dh to stop… here is a horrible one 
You could see some of the pomegranate trees between those 2 big ones.
hope to be back with some food pictures insha’Allah! Still thinking: should I have a blog or a simple section… what do u think?
jazakhum Allahu khayran!
‘Eid Mubarak!

How the Salaf Observed Ramadhaan
From the eyes of a mother

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
A muslim mother just enters the unit. She seems a visitor but from the white “bracelet” on her arm I understand she is a “mother”, maybe her first child or maybe not. But for sure, her first time in that unit. Everything must look so BIG at her eyes, everything around her has got “sounds & noises” never heard before maybe. Scary noises! SubhanaAllah!
I look at her, hoping to share a greeting but her husband arrives and points out to her the room, room 3, where her child is staying. She enters the room, walking slowly with her eyes just pointing at her baby, not looking around, not caring for anybody else, just her child. I see her, I hear her, I feel for her… she is crying subhanaAllah! It’s a shock yes, the moments you were planning to spend as a family, the whole family, celebrating, being happy for the baraka from Allah… those moments planned from someone else, Him! Alhamdulillah! He knows the best!
I wish to enter the room, to talk to her, hug her and remind her of Allah. Khris hugs her, explains to her, try to make her relax… may Allah guide you Khris!. I’m still looking, yes looking at my sister in Islam and wishing to remind her about the tests from Allah, great tests, hard at our eyes but a rahma from Him!
I leave and an ambulance comes to transport the baby, to transfer him somewhere else, I think, I guess I won’t be able to meet her again.
May Allah cure all our brothers & sisters around the world! Insha’Allah!
The brother nobody knew…

Just here quickly to share with you this story. It just happened last week subhanaAllah!
My dh was walking with my oldest son, they were passing by the hospital road while a guy stopped them. He started to speak to my husband, he looked worried and desperate. He declared not to be a muslim but that his brother was. His poor brother was in the intensive care section at the hospital. He was asking help, he didn’t know what to do in that situation, what to pray and what to say since he wasn’t a muslim. My dh offered to help so later on he went to see the muslim brother.
Well, what to say, he was in a coma subhanaAllah and why? Because he tried to kill himself… ya Rabb! Allahu a’alam but it seemed he wasn’t practicing the religion in that period.
When my dh entered the room, all his family was there. They were all crying next to his bed. Apparently it all happened recently. My dh did what he supposed to do, du’as etc. alhamdulillah!
Dh informed the other brothers at our masjid, since it’s not far from the hospital. They all promised to go and visit insha’Allah!
22 pm that same night, a brother from our masjid called my dh telling him that he went to the hospital with some other brothers but that when they entered the room they found a “priest”! And the family was ready to switch off the machines that were keeping the brother alive! Plus, they said that they were going to bury him as a Christian! Naudhubillah!
Inna lillahi wa inna ilahy raji’oon! When I saw my dh face while talking at the phone, I felt something was going on, I asked him “what happened?” he replied “They have switched off the machines of the brother in coma!… his family!” …. I asked “did you say the shahada for him today?” he replied “yes!” … alhamdulillah! … wa Allahu a’alam!
Sorry to share this with you after a long absence but this story made me think a lot. It made me realize how important is to make hijrah and how it’s important for a revert to practice the deen properly….

Sisterhood exists!

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
I’ve recently realized, and I feel to share it with you, that yes, sisterhood exists and it’s beautiful masha’Allah!
It’s simply inside of us, it’s the way we behave first with our sisters in Islam, without expecting something back! Then, if we don’t really do things for the sake of Allah and hide judgments and are not completely sincere towards one another well… how can we expect to live and feel the beauty of the sisterhood?
I’ve had a long exchange of opinions with sis Seeking Jennah in this post and alhamdulillah I liked it! You might think the way around but no, I liked the fact that we’ve been able to discuss just as it should be! Without keeping our thoughts and I didn’t feel judged by her masha’Allah and I hope she felt the same insha’Allah!
Who are our best examples? The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and the Sahaba …. aren’t they? And we should know, from some ahadeeth, that even in moments of disagreement among them, they were finding a way to remain united anyway!
There’s a beautiful reminder HERE and I love to remember one of the ahadeeth mentioned in the article:
Thus, Aboo Daawood relates (1/307) that ’Uthmaan (radiyallaahu ’anhu) prayed four rak’ahs at Minaa, so ’Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood criticised him saying: “I prayed two rak’ahs with the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam), and two rak’ahs with Aboo Bakr, and two rak’ahs with ’Umar, and two rak’ahs with ’Uthmaan in the beginning of his rule, then he completed it (i.e. by praying four rak’ahs). After that the ways became divided with you all. So I hope from these four rak’ahs, that two of them would be accepted.” Then Ibn Mas’ood prayed four rak’ahs. So it was said to him: You criticised ’Uthmaan, yet you prayed four? So he said: “Differing is evil.”
Do we really follow their example? We talk so much about them but do we really follow them? Sometimes we need to put our head down, do it for the sake of Allah and try to remember this hadeeth insha’Allah! Trying to discuss with our sister and trying to find a “meeting point” insha’Allah!
There’s also this video of Shaikh Al Amry talking about Brotherhood in Islam:

it seems yesterday that I was posting about the story of the “burka” in France subhanaAllah! And here I am again!!!
In the Italian Parliament they are discussing the law to ban the niqab… and some sisters are asking our help insha’Allah! A letter to the main politic personalities has been sent some weeks ago. Now a petition insha’Allah!
It needs to be signed from all of us… please help insha’Allah! Here the link to the petition. Before doing so (signing) you need to be registered. I know, it’s in italian but on top right of the page there’s the english version of the site. I guess you can register through that too, insha’Allah!
http://www.petizionionline.it/petizione/no-alla-proibizione-del-velo-integrale-niqab/544
once registered, go down the page and on the right you’ll find “Firma la Petizione” … do not hesitate to ask my help insha’Allah!

Our little “hijrah”, alhamdulillah

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Alhamdulillah we made it! We moved to a new flat and to a new area masha’Allah! I’ve been waiting for this moment for long time, with lots of patience and alhamdulillah Allah has rewarded me!
Yes, a new area, always in the same town but at the “halal” side The best thing is that we have 3 mosques around us, including our dear ICT masha’Allah and obviously lots of halal shops
I ended up hating the area where I was living before, I guess my family and I were the only Muslims around, apart from our neighbour and now I understand the big difference in living among your “ummah” alhamdulillah! You know, we came to see the flat 2 weeks ago, it was raining so I didn’t even want to go out and said to my dh: “for me, the flat is fine, the most important thing is that it’s near ICT” … crazy isn’t it? LOL! But then I came to see it and loved it so much masha’Allah! Plus, the guy who showed us everything and looked after us (very well to be honest) is also a Muslim masha’Allah! May Allah reward him!
So please, if you have a chance, make a small “Hijrah” and move to the “halal” lol!
I gonna go now, insha’Allah I’ll post soon about “pizza fritta”
