Sometimes I think the only thing that I deserve to ask from Allah is his forgiveness.

“Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
Sh. Omar reminds us that, by holding grudges against others, we will only harm and frustrate ourselves. Instead of complaining to others, wouldn’t you rather complain to Allah? And instead of making dua against the one who hurt you, wouldn’t you rather make dua for yourself?

Anonymous asked: The picture you posted with the caption "My phone is all consuming"... The color coordination going there... Oh my gosh. It's beautiful. You look like a sparkling piece of tanzanite.

Thanks! :)
I like your comparison.
Though I might have gone with a “blob of blue”…lol

An Imam got up after Friday prayers and announced to the people:
“I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.

True Story

Marry someone who will make you fall in love with Allah every single day.

Thought of the day :
There is more to being a Hijabi, than wearing a scarf, or dressing modestly. Being a hijabi is a lifestyle: from the scarf, to the clothes, to the tongue, to the heart. The first step to being a Hijabi, is to understand to meaning of the word

Week 9-2: Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Hanson; Teacher 
With regards to all the controversy surrounding this brilliant and phenomenal character, I believe it’s essential that we as Muslims need to implement the notion of making 73 excuses for thy brother before we critique or place any type of value judgement on a character. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is no exception.
Not only a co founder of one of the leading religious oriented colleges in California, Zaytuna College, but Hamza Yusuf is also an adviser in the Standford University’s Program in Islamic Studies. He has spent most of his life learning Islam in Mauritania, and prior to that, converting to Islam at a very young age.
Hamza Yusuf has over a few hundred videos that stream his lectures, speeches, and intellectual discussions. He has also published encyclopedias, textbooks, and novels that describe the religion of Islam. Along with this fact, Hamza Yusuf has been added as one of the top 500 Most Influential Muslims by editors John Esposito and Ibrahim Kalin.
Conclusively, Sheikh Hamza has shed much light on the religion of Islam as a peaceful, intellectual, and serene religion. Without a shadow of doubt, he has made drastic changes to this Ummah, and I am completely proud of all that he has ever achieved. You can check out his personal blog here, watch a short clip of him here (titled: Change the Tide, Islam in America), and follow him on twitter here.
