We just lost another beautiful sister

-
Inna lillahe wa inna ilaiher rajeuun. Certainly we belong to Allah swt and we are going to return to Him. I am so sad to share this news. Today in the morning one of our beloved sister in deen Aasia passed away. She was suffering from cancer. She has left her husband and three young children. Couple of months ago, the sisters in Redbridge area had formed a group to cook food for her family on a weekly basis so that she can have some rest. I came to know about her through the weekly circle I used to attend. She was such a lovely sister. I still have her text saved and now feeling so sad reading it. The feelings are so sad as you know that the person who sent you this text has left this world forever to meet her Creator. Whenever I asked her how she is feeling, she always praised Allah swt and never complained mashallah. May Allah swt reward her with jannatul ferdous and grant lots of patience and strength to her family and friends to go through this difficult time. Insha-Allah tomorrow is her janaza ( funeral) then she will be buried in Garden of peace. My friend Ferzanah who also died couple of years ago due to leukemia is also buried there. May Allah swt reward them with the best, amen. We really need to wake up and stop taking our life for granted. We don't know when is our turn. May Allah swt forgive us and make us better muslims, ameen. Please do make lots of duas for her and family.

Bismillah With the Name of Allah , the Most Merciful I have typed some of my tajweed notes on makharij for the purpose of  revision inshAllah.  Alhamdulillah our beautiful teacher has started doing videos on tajweed. I have shared some of the videos here with relevant notes. Hope this helps us all inshaAllah. Image source   Makharij means articulation point i.e the place where the letters exit from. Letters are called huruf in arabic. Harf is the singular form of the word huruf. There are five different exit points (makharij).  1.       Al-Jawf ( The empty space in the throat and mouth/ the oral cavity) 2.       Ash-Shafatayn  ( The lips) 3.       Al-Halq (The throat) 4.       Al-Khayshum (The nasal passage) 5.       Al-Lisaan ( The tongue)   Al-Jawf ( The oral cavity)  From the   jawf ( empty space in the mouth and throat)  three letters emerge. These madd ( lengthening the sound) letters are: Alif  ( ا ) preceded by a  fat h a ,

Five years Alhamdulillah :-)

Alhamdulillah five years ago, on this day I got married to my husband. It took me quite a long time to find him :-) I used to tell my friend at university and at work, that I may never get married and live for the rest of my life with 99 cats! I don't know where I got this idea from but I was indeed quite worried about my future. I have always been a big fan of children. For me the biggest fear was the prospect of being childless forever! I have seen quite a lot of brothers through family and friends. The more I was going through these meetings, I was getting frustrated thinking this is not really working for me and love is just a myth! Alhamdulillah going to hajj in 2006 has made me help put things into perspective. I started to think more seriously about the purpose of my life. I even wrote in my diary that marriage is not an ultimate goal for me anymore. Before that time, I used to think only through marriage I can become a better Muslimah as if no other option is left for me to

A precious bond

I am surrounded by special sisters. They are always there for me. During my hardship, they help me with their kind words and beautiful dua. I know I can rely on them. I know that they keep me in their precious dua. They are my soul sisters. And the special love they have for me is priceless. I can't buy this love. A love so pure and precious subhanallah! The source of this love is my Rabb. It is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who enables us to love each other so sincerely for His sake ! I can't thank my Rabb enough for surrounding me with such kind and gentle souls alhamdulillah. Without my beautiful soul sisters, my life would be so difficult to live. My soul sisters teach me to always be loving and caring to others. They encourage me to be positive and resilient, no matter how difficult the life may seem . They have taught me not to underestimate the power of any good deeds, it can be a kind word, a sincere dua, sending a bouquet of beautiful flowers or homemade cakes and the
