Just a reminder: Even though these 10 days are over, the doors of ALLAH t3alas mercy are not closed, he is still showering his believers with loads of ajar and sawab, go and get your share, its a buy one get 3-700 free deal! 

I was reading some quotes online, and here are a few which I truly loved: 


“Knock, And He'll open the door 
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun 
Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens 
Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything.” 

“لا أدري لماذا لا يطير العباد إلى ربِّهم على أجنحةٍ من الشوق بدل أن يُساقوا إليه بسياط من الرهبة ؟! إنَّ الجهل بالله وبدينه هو عِلَّةُ هذا الشعور البارد ، أو هذا الشعور النافر - بالتعبير الصحيح - ؛ مع أنَّ البشر لن يجدوا أبرَّ بهم ولا أحنَى عليهم من الله عز وجل” 

“What has he found who has lost God? 
And what has he lost who has found God?” 

“ما يصيب المسلم من نصب ولا وصب ولا همّ ولا حزن ولا أذى ولا غمّ - حتى الشوكة يشاكها - إلا كفّر الله بها مِن خطاياه 
No fatigue, disease, sorrow, sadness, hurt or distress befalls a Muslim - not even the prick he receives from a thorn - except that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 70, #545)” 

In God, there is no sorrow or suffering or affliction. If you want to be free of all affliction and suffering, hold fast to God, and turn wholly to Him, and to no one else. Indeed, all your suffering comes from this: that you do not turn toward God and no one else. –Imam Al Ghazali

To completely trust in God is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him. –Imam Al Ghazali

“…a man should say to his soul every morning, "God has given thee twenty-four treasures; take heed lest thou lose anyone of them, for thou wilt not be able to endure the regret that will follow such loss.” 

Everyone who is taken by death asks for more time, while everyone who still has time makes excuses for procrastination. –Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA

The company of a good friend is like an owner of musk; if you don’t buy anything, you will get the smell of it.
The company of a bad friend is like the blacksmith’s bellows; if you are not affected by its black dirt, you will be touched by its smoke. –Prophet Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)




Alhamdulillah t3ala! The highlighting problem has been solved!

Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullahi t3ala wabarakatuhu,

Some of you, who have been reading my blog continuously might have have noticed that some of my posts were highlighted. I really didnt know the cause then, so I just left it that way, though in two posts I did ask you all how to solve this problem. Every time I copied and posted from another place, like when typing Arabic, I had to use a different software, and I sometimes typed a post in word first then copied it here, but then the whole post would come out highlighted, well I researched about the problem, and thought I'd tell you the reason, and how to solve it, just in case if anyone is having this problem and is totally confused. haha The first time I thought I highlighted it myself, and then when it started happening every time, Im like no, this isn't me!

Anywaysss, The reason why this is happening is because sometimes the formatting of some documents arent compatible with the formatting of blogger, so when you copy and paste it comes out highlighted, well there are two ways to solve this problem: 
1) If you are using the Old Editor, First copy the text and paste it into the Edit html tab of the post editor.
   2) If your using the new editor, first copy it into something like notepad or another text editor and then copy "that" text from the notepad/whatever you used and paste it into your blog post.
Yup, you gotta go through a bit of trouble, but then you get double ajar, so its a buy one get one free deal haha!

Hope your problem is solved also, inshaALLAH t3ala
jazakumullah t3ala khairan!

m3assalamah
                   ~*~Musafirah~*~

يا مكة نشتاق إليك

يا ربنا  اسق عطشنا ونادنا الى بيتك المحرم 
قد اشتقنا إليها زمنا ولا نقدر على الصبر الآن 
ما زلنا نراها في الاحلام وقلوبنا ما زالت تبكي 
أرحنا من هذا الجهد وأدعنا لتتلذذ  أعيننا 
           بالنظر إلى جمالها ورونقها


الهنا أشف جروحات صدورنا بالنداء إليها
وطمأن آذاننا بسماع آذانها تترد في الفضاء
أجسادنا ملت عن العمل لا تريد إلا طواف بيتك
وأذهاننا تتمنى أن تسعى كما سعت هاجرة
    في الحب والتضرع لحصول رحمتك 


متى ينادي المنادي بأسمائنا لنحج بيتك 
ونعتمر ونطوف باعز البيت في العالم كله
رؤوسنا لن تزال مرتفعة إلى السماء متوجهة
إلى رحمتك  تنتظر نداءك وقلوبنا لن تزال
تحلم إتياننا وحلوقنا لن تزال تتعطش لماء زمزم


لا تقضي لحظةٌ إلا ونحن ننتظر دعائك
بفضل منك ورحمةً هيا يا ربنا نادنا عجلا
أزل عنا جروحات الالم والامل واسعدنا
برؤية حرامك وبيتك المكرم قبل أن يصادفنا
   أجلنا و الجروحات السائلة دماً باقية


aaah ya rabbanaa taqabbal minna!!!
aameen thumma aameen!



Do not forget to start reading Takbeer e Tashreeq!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi t3ala wa barakatuhu,

It is obligatory on each muslim to recite the Takbir ut Tashreeq after every Fardh prayer starting from the Fajr of the 9th Zul hijjah, until the Asar prayer of the 13th,

This is the takbeer:

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,

La Ilaha Illallahu, 

Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar


wa lillahil hamd.

(There is no god but Allah and Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest and to Allah belongs all praise.)

According to authentic Islamic sources, it is obligatory on each Muslim, to recite this Takbir after every Fard Salah. For women also, it is commendable though not obligatory. Whether you are performing Salah with Jama'ah (collectively) or on your own (individually) makes no difference. You must recite the Takbir. However, male Muslims should recite it in a loud voice, while females should recite it in a low voice.

The origin of this takbeer:

When Ibrahim (AS) began moving the knife on his beloved son, Ismaeel (AS), the angels sent by Allah with a ram exclaimed. 
"Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar" (Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest). 
Ibrahim alaihissalam heard the voice of the angels and replied, 
"La illah illa Allahu Wallahu akbar"
(There is no god besides Allah, and Allah is the greatest). 
His son Ismaeel (AS) heard this conversation and understood that Allah had relieved him from this great rial, thus he replied, 
"Allahu Akbar Walillahil hamd" (Allah is the greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise)
