a gentle reminder to myself and whoever needs it: the things you worry about, in front of Allah's might and mercy, are like specks of dust. He changes conditions and grants ease- "Be", and it is. So have faith, remind yourself of the power of dua and have a good opinion of Allah.
Sending love to anybody that is struggling with feelings of emptiness and low mood this ramadan. May Allah swt guide you to Him gently, increase you in guidance and handle all of your affairs. 🤍
Mid-taraweeh this little toddler hobbled over to where my bag was (beside me).. sat down, looked at it then opened it and emptied the ENTIRE contents. He then took the £2 coin and ran off.
I got jacked 💀💀💀
Summer salaah times mean I've had to go for salaah breaks when I go play badminton. Had a random message today from the man who runs the club asking me where I prayed (in the girl's changing room). He's told me he's arranged for a cleaner & quieter place for me to pray in. 🥹🫶🏽
Absolutely love this dua:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ
Allahumma inni as'alukal afiyah
"Oh Allah, I ask you for afiyah."
Afiyah - seeking protection from pain and suffering in this dunya and the next. ✨
my favourite moment this morning: seeing this group of men not far from where I was. They sat peacefully and silently for a long, long time. Doing absolutely nothing. Just.. sitting. Taking it all in.
a child in my class today was explaining to me how something was making her feel anxious and poor baby said "my heart is thudding and my tummy hurts." 🥺😢💔💗
heart-warming moments from the Haram this morning:
- a tiny, elderly woman on a wheelchair. So tiny she could barely be seen. Accompanied by her elderly son who was doing tawaaf with her. ☹️🤍
- finding a quiet spot that was mine for quite some time. I had the ka'bah in view
Had a really comforting thought where I was reminded of how those who cherish you and love you will keep you in their prayers, without you knowing. There's always someone out there saying your name and praying for you and it made my heart so happy.
Hey guys/salaams, I've been ill in hospital with meningitis for the past 2 weeks. Please pray for me, that Allah grants me a smooth, speedy recovery and I can be home soon. Thanks/jzk khayr 💗
muting notifs so bye but I just want to say that I'm at an age now where when I look back, I'm grateful for these conversations lol. I've learnt/been taught that with every pay, set aside some for your savings and donate some to charity. You'll see the barakah in your rizq ✨️
All this sex ed stuff is reminding me of a safeguarding incident I heard about where a child kept telling her teacher that her uncle keeps "taking her cookie". The teacher brushed it off but after the child repeated it she mentioned it to the mother. Turns out cookie was what
(Twitter fam, please please keep my dear friend in your duas during this blessed time. Her 3 month old baby girl suddenly passed away earlier this week. The pain of losing a child is unimaginable and she needs duas).
It's so weird when you've made peace with drifting apart from/away from somebody and then randomly you're hit with a wave of sadness about what used to be and how close you once were.
During witr today, a toddler came and took my water bottle, examined it for a few seconds and tried to open it, succeeded then walked off gulping the water down 😭
Mid-taraweeh this little toddler hobbled over to where my bag was (beside me).. sat down, looked at it then opened it and emptied the ENTIRE contents. He then took the £2 coin and ran off.

I'm so touched that this must have randomly occurred to him and that he's taken the effort to find me a proper, authorised place to pray in.
Alhamdulillah 💗
I was w my dad earlier- he was teaching me how to drive his new car (an automatic). Every time I hit the brakes, my dad went flying?? He lost it when he realised my left foot was on the brakes and my right foot was on the accelerator. Turns out you don't use both feet? 🥲🥲
You know us women go through a whole load of chaos during our cycle and then when it's that time of the month and you feel terribly low and you just want to pray, but you can't? That is painful.
My mum is so adorable mA. She loves cooking and trying out new recipes, saving things on Instagram etc. She made everything in this pic (apart from the hummus lol) and was like "please can you take some nice pics of the food?"
Cute insta mum. 🤍
I went cycling on my own on a 17 mile route and although I got battered by the wind and the rain (and was nervous about being alone), it turned out to be an exhilarating experience, alhamdulillah. Just me, the rain, wind, birds, dhikr and vibes ✨️
The child called her private parts as taught by her mother. The child was being sexually abused. Please, please have conversations at home and teach your children the PANTS rule.
It's 2006. You wake up on a weekend. You watch some good old Disney shows. You play on your ps2. Maybe look through the argos catalogue before creating a masterpiece on paint and logging onto msn for a bit. Life is good. Life is sweet
There are parts of your heart which, when empty, can only be filled with Light by the remembrance of Allah swt. Nothing else will fill the emptiness
#dhikr
update from last year: met someone, didn't feel right so we wished each other best and parted ways/deleted numbers etc. He messaged me the next day asking me to pass his details onto anyone who is looking to get married.
Bruv?
Seeing lots of spring roll debate on the tl and I just wanna add my 2 pence for this topic since I feel so strongly about it: no to kheema in spring roll because kheema is for SAMOSAS. Thank you x
My nana, my beloved baba, passed away yesterday. It still hasn't sunk in that I will never see him again or hear his voice. May his grave be a garden of jannah and filled with light. May he be rewarded with the highest level of paradise, ameen. 💜🌻
We've just received news that my nana's health has worsened and my uncle's taking him to a hospital. 😞 With things being bad in India and with us being so far away we feel helpless and anxious. Please, can I request you keep him in your duas? 💜
- a woman who randomly left a newly packed tasbeeh counter in my lap and smiled at me
- an Algerian woman who came and shared my prayer mat with me. We had a brief conversation where I spoke in English and she, in Arabic, but we understood each other.
After 7 long years full of hard work, sacrifices and juggling GCSEs, her A-levels and her degree (whilst being in the midst of a pandemic!!!) my baby sis
@FaizaxQ_
graduated as an aalimah! Alhamdulillah. Please make dua for her :) 🤍✨
I'm in salaah and this kid is taking everything out and admiring it and HE TOOK THE MONEY how does he know looool. Tomorrow I'm taking a toddler proof bag
