The problem with Stagnant Muslims is that they are the closest to shirk, if not totally committing shirk itself. Announcing that you’re a Muslim doesn’t mean that you are one. Actions speak further than words. If you’re blatantly sinning and not feeling an ounce of guilt or wanting to repent, then you’re neither a Muslim nor a Non-muslim. You’ve become a hypocrite.

Developing Good Character
“It is that you should serve Allah as though you could see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet (know that) He sees you.” — Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.) I had a rather difficult time trying to tell my non-muslim colleague what exactly was the subject of the new series of lessons I was embarking…
Muslims are Strivers, never Slackers.
After graduation about 2 years ago, my mind was made up to strive only for the best in my career- that was the only constant, my education. I had my journey planned out- experience different types of companies from small to big, different types of design specializations, and then finally become a famous designer. Didn’t know…
In times of difficulty
I came across this post a few weeks ago. It tears my heartstrings every time I go back to reread it over and over, such is the strength of this woman! And I cannot help but feel that the difficulties that I face at this point can never- I emphasize, never- amount to the pain…
A Blessed Eid, Nonetheless
This Eid, there is still a cause to celebrate. Because with terror and evil, goodness and hope is not only just present, it becomes stronger. And as the lines of humanity in the world become more and more blurred, I’d just remember to look to the normal civilians, the kids, the everyday-people. The ones who smile despite all the hardship. They are the ones who are displaying the purest examples of love, peace and unwavering faith.
The Irony on my Newsfeed
On my newsfeed today was 2 startlingly contrasting headlines. The first was about the World Cup, posted by the majority. Second was about the mass bombings by Israeli forces on Palestinian innocent civilians, posted by the few of my Muslim friends. Having never been one to look at depressing news, the past me would have…
Stop Complaining, Start Thanking
“…to think now of the past and future unhappy hours, which simply do not exist, and to show impatience, and ignoring one’s faulty self, to moan as though complaining about Allah is also most foolish.” – Risale i Nur
A Revert, Abandoned
I entered Islam on the basis of questioning within an unquestionable and most certain foundation. Like a toddler taking her first steps, exploring the world through taking in everything she can find, I read everything I chance across, and I question when I can’t seem to grasp something. The current path is like this: I…
To the Convert’s Parents, InsyaAllah
It’s always the people you love most that hurt the most.
I keep my silence, my words to myself.
But why do you mistake my sincerity for arrogance?
Alone in this Journey
It is hard sometimes, when you feel like you’re alone in this whole struggle to find God. Yes, God is with me, but it’d be nice to have someone here too.
