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.

                                                 Asalaamu Alaikum my lovelies
Long time no see hey...... I hope and pray that the Almighty has kept everyone safe since the last time we've had the opportunity to speak/ blog.....hmmm I think the word Im looking for is catch up (.*_*.) blushing face. As usual my course has once again taken over my life. But this is me trying to dust the cob webs from my beloved blog and hopefully be the start of a series of new fresh, inspiring blog posts.

Do you see the white on the ground???? That's actually hail. Yip it was hailing and I decided to dress up and play barbie when in actual fact I was suppose to be studying....I just couldnt resist going out side. Feeling the cold wind against my face, playing with my scarf and brightly coloured floral dress. It was so refreshing alhamdulilaah. I might even have inspired the sun to come out (In my dreams) because after a while the weather cleared up and the sun's rays starting melting the hail.
                                                                            until next time
                                                                  lets keep smiling its a sunnah

ps. Really sorry for the dullness of the last photograph.I was sitting directly in the sun when this photograph was taken and I didn't want to edit anything for a change 

lets get it out there

okay, where to start......
right .....
i know i havent been much of a blogger since i started this blog. the thing is, blogging and me dont seem to go together very well. i find that i either ramble on and on about pointless things, i try to make it likeable so i repost things like fashion trends and who knows what else. Then theres my self esteem. Yes this two letter word that seems to be a total pain in the rear too many times in ones short life. No, i dont lack self esteem or suffer from any self esteem issues its just that i dont want people i know to know me like really know me. know my interests and all that. no i dont thrive on being mysterious but i dont want to be that blogger girl that shares all of her thoughts and emotions in a post. i want to be that blogger girl that speaks about valid things like freedom, oppression, dignity and share my true feelings and thoughts about that. for some reason i feel like im failing that. im failing myself in succumbing to the caring what others think syndrome.i write something and i end up deleting it after rereading the preview thinking ooh this is too offensive ooh this isnt that polite ahh maybe people that knows me will think what the hell this aint her. ergggg!!!

So, from today forth I shall try to be true to the real me and hopefully not delete this post in a days time. The me that does things in accordance to my beliefs, not allowing my fears to come in the way, in doing things the way it  suites me and not giving a darn about what others think after that.
 Thanks for listening and sorry for going all emo on you in this post.

smile, breath and step out from behind the shadows created by yourself

Bismilaah Hier Rahmaan Nier Raheem(In the name of God)

here I go...

Rabbi- ul Awwal kareem OR shall i say spring kareem : P

So incase you didn't know Rabbi ul Awwal actually means the Beginning of spring, hence the title of this post.

Anyhoo....Here is some facts about Rabbi ul Awwal I thought we should know:

-Birth of our beloved prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)

-The emigration to Madina

-The death of prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him)'s grandfather, Abdul Mutalib(R.A-may Allah be pleased with him)

-The marriage of prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him to Lady Khadija(R.A-may Allah be pleased with her)

p.s Keep smiling lovelies...

Alhamdulilaah I got to spend this day with my beloved grandfather, who initially accompanied me on business and ended up dragging me to the different places in the city to take photographs. A day I shall never forget, as its a day where lots of memories were made. 

obstacles and steadfastness

                    and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,"

                                                              Surah 2 verse 156
