Hijab

In the hijab, honestly, I feel blessed\

Wearing a hijab is a way of treating oneself as somebody who is precious and special, like a treasure that is kept hidden until it is uncovered. In this way, Muslim women gain more self-confidence and self-respect knowing who they are in the society.

Generally, hijab is worn by Muslim women in front of men who are not a direct relative in order to protect themselves from indecent thoughts and acts. This is advantageous because in this way men will get to like a Muslim woman not because of her looks or physical attributes, but because of other important qualities like attitude, personality, ideals, skills, or knowledge. 

#She's saving herself for someone special. She is learning. She is struggling. She is growing. She is shifting her priorities in life

Who needs love when you've got chocolate?

I bought "The Chocolate Run" by Dorothy Koomson spontaneously when I saw a good offer of it at book fair that was held at pusanika. I expected a hilarious story about a woman who loves chocolate and it is exactly what I get from this book.

Amber was from the first pages one a character I enjoyed reading about. I liked the way she handled her life and that throughout the book she was willing to change in the areas of her life that made her unhappy. At the end of the story she was a strong woman who had learned to tell others what she wants without feeling bad about it.

I enjoyed that in the relationship between Greg and her, she was the one who remained sceptical. It felt right that she didn't fell in love with him after their first night and it took some time for her feelings to change from friendship to love. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed reading about Greg, at first I thought that he was nothing than a shallow womaniser but I soon realized that he was a good guy. I enjoyed that they had some up and downs in their relationship and how they dealt with them.

One of my highlights of the book was how Amber compared the people in her life to different types of chocolate. It was so utterly funny and imaginative. She did it in a very charming way and her comparisons were always very fitting.

The relationship between Amber and Jen was very interesting and I loved the way Amber thought about it at the end. I never really liked Jen but I can still understand why Amber wanted to give her a second chance. I also enjoyed reading about the relationship between Amber and her family and how she learned to handle what happened between her parents when she was a child. 

This story was an ejoyable to read.

put your trust in Allah

"When Allah knows we’re ready for the responsibility and commitment, He’ll reveal the right person under the right circumstances. Wait patiently. And do what we need to do, pray to Allah. Grow and be ready, you’ll see Allah will give you a love story far better than you could ever dream of."

Ya Muhaimin jika aku jatuh hati,

izinkanlah aku menyentuh hati

seseorang yang hatinya tertaut

padaMu agar tidak terjatuh aku

dalam jurang cinta nafsu. . .

Ya Rabbana jika aku jatuh hati,

jagalah hatiku padanya agar

tidak berpaling daripada hatiMu..

Why Amos Famous?

I’m extremely fond of snacking in the class and I must say, famous amos chocolate chip with macadamia nuts just about hit the spot every time.

I am intensely addicted to the crispy texture and smells of Famous Amos Cookies.

Marriage

Marriage is Sunnah and also half our deen. It's a new door that leads to happiness as it unites two people and creates new familial bonds.

Today we are living in a time where it is very difficult to get married in early age. Culture seems to play a bigger role in marriage than the religion itself which causes much distress among families especially youngsters.
