In My Shawls-Nur Fatin for WWWH

                                                              Asalaamu Alaikum lovelies

Long time no see hey. I bet you guys thoughts I'm skipping out from the blogging realm once again         (-_^).... Even though its been a week since Eid passed us by, I would still like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a blessed and happy month of Shawwaal and a very belated Eid Mubarak. I hope all of our Eids were in some way a joyous one even if it was only for a split second. Unfortunately, I wont be posting any Eid photographs as the quality of the photographs wasn't what I hoped and thought. What do you say we get down to business before I start rambling again.

So today's post is about a young muslimah that is residing in Singapore, Nur Fatin that you lovelies can check out and DEFINTELY follow on In My Shawls. Basically this post is under the title WWWH (Whose Who in the World of Hijaab). An initiative of mine that I started last year but as you all can tell I haven't been maintaining very well. So just to recap in WWWH I post different looks of different muslimahs that I find as in inspiration to me.

If you wondering why Nur Fatin or what exactly about her inspires me check out these photographs below








ALL SOURCES TAKEN FROM-In My Shawls

If you still wondering why this gorgeous muslimah inspires me then here it is.. Besides her love for fashion and  modesty that she displays very beautifully her outfits are very do-able. Its quick,easy, very girlish , elegant , some what simple and she looks comfortable. Simply put shes not overdone. What really has me going is that she recycles here and there which for me is feasible and practical. 

Until next time, stay happy regardless of the test you in. Remember it couldve been worse and Allahs always by our side
keep smiling

our last breath, inevitable, sudden and i pray to GOD it goes when HE's on my mind

                                                    Asalaamu Alaikum my sweetpea's

As you all can tell from my greeting, I am indeed in a very good mood today Alhamdulilaah. However the reason for that is completely unknown. Heck! Maybe it is the fact that I've gotten an early start or the fact that I'm doing another blog post in a space of one week. Whatever it is, I'm truly grateful Alahmdulilaah for getting another opportunity to smile and feel all whimsical. Despite the fact that after this post I'll be working frantically on an assignment that's due this coming Thursday- which could be Eid ...
Enough rambling (.*_*.) Today I would just like to share a saying of a wise sheikh that I came across whilst reading  "and THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT" by Sister Amatullah Armstrong.


                                                        
                                " Allah, make me never forget that the breath that goes in my chest
                                                          may never come out.
                                Do not make me arrogant enough that if I lift my one foot                                                                                             I assume the other is going to follow."

                                                                                                   -Shaykh Ali Zain-al Abidin

I read these four simple but powerful lines a couple of days ago. Now I'm constantly thinking about my uncle who had to go to hospital. Yes I have been aware of sickness and death but these four lines coupled with my uncle's sickness has really put SICKNESS and DEATH in perspective. For how long I'll be like this I dont know. But I pray and hope insha Allah that Allah blesses each and everyone of us to constantly be reminded of death as I find I'm much closer to Him.

                                                                  lets keep smiling
