Asalaam Alaikum, sisters. I don't even know who reads this blog anymore. lol.

Sorry again, about the lack of updates...life gets in the way [or sometimes it's my internet company..]. Not much to report from my side. I'll be heading back to college in about a week. Can't say I'm excited. But Alhamdulillah. This is temporary [so is life]. Living in a different country has made me realize things I would never have had I not moved. So Alhamdulillah. I'm so blessed.

One thing is to not lose focus. It'll get you stuck in a lot of places you don't want to be stuck. I'm in med school so I guess if I don't concentrate I'll never get out. Lol. Or something to that extent. Same thing with life...we are here to do our work and leave this world to go on to the Hereafter. We can't lose focus or else..well, we will end up in places we'd rather not be..or we'll have to take a long detour or something. Or we'll be under a lot of stress waiting in line for our interview with ou Creator. Something like that. *shrugs*

I guess I'm trying to make myself feel better about life in general and going back to India. I just have to focus. It's not home, but neither is the US. It's not my permanent residence. I just need to do what I have to do to succeed. Anyways, I'm rambling. Later.

A Ghazel In Praise of the Prophet
by Prof. Haroun Mustapha Leon, M.A., Ph.D., F.S.P.[from the 'Islamic Review vol. 3 1915']

So long as the heart doth pulsate and beat,
So long as the sun bestows light and heat,
So long as the blood thro' our veins doth flow,
So long as the mind in knowledge doth grow,
So long as the tongue retains power of speech,
So long as wise men true wisdom do teach,

The praise of God's prophet, Ahmed the best,
Shall flow from our lips and spring from our breast.'
Twas Rosul-Allah from darkness of night
Did lead us to Truth, did give to us Light,
Did point out the path, which follow'd with zest,
Leadeth to Islam and gives Peace and Rest.
Praise be to Allah! 'Twas He who did send
Ahmed Muhammed, our Prophet, our Friend.

Asalaam Alaikum, everyone..

I can't sign into my hotmail account in case anyone either sent me something or sent a request to join the ya-ya. So if you did, I'll be setting up a new account soon or you can leave me a comment. Sorry I haven't been around much. I didn't have internet for 2 months and now I'm back home for the holidays so I haven't been doing much online stuff as of late. Anyways, take care.

Walaikum Asalaam
:)

Volume: 1, Book Number: 11, Hadith Number: 649
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet did not come out for three days. The people stood for the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead to lead the prayer. (In the meantime) the Prophet caught hold of the curtain and lifted it. When the face of the Prophet appeared we had never seen a scene more pleasing than the face of the Prophet as it appeared then. The Prophet beckoned to Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer and then let the curtain fall. We did not see him (again) till he died.
