Assalamualaikkum
I take this opportunity to say “Jazakumullah, Shukran or Thank you” for your encouragement and more so your support.
Writing these words are really hard for me. The last few hours have been, I shall rather say, it has made me closer to The Ever Merciful Allah, the Rabb of our lives, the Keeper of our souls and The One Who is Most Forgiving.
I will be taking time away from blogging, I have received mail requesting that I don’t, but please understand that, I need to get over the accusations and the hurt that I am going through. I do appreciate your emails and comments of encouragement, and I am sure with the help of Allah Thee Most Compassionate and your duas I will be ok.
My blog will not be closed for you to read or wanting to use any article, I just won’t be posting. So please be free to logon.
I am not sure when I will be returning, so please forgive me with not passing on dates…
To the muslim sisters,and the rest, Jazakumullah for your support, comments and your trust and belief in me. May Allah reward you with the best of rewards. Aameen.
As you know everyone needs motivation to get through a rough and bumpy patch in life.
Well I wrote down something that I would to share with all who are going to be sad about “my blogging” I hope it will motivate you as well.
“I refuse to be discouraged, to be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, and here’s the reason why…I have an “Allah” who’s mighty,
Who’s Sovereign and Supreme; I have a ”Allah” who loves me, And I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful, Most Merciful is His name; Though everything is changeable, My “Allah” remains the same. My “Allah” knows all that’s happening;
Beginning to the end, His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, to bring my head down low,
I call upon my Mighty “Allah”; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten to rob me from my peace; He draws me closer,
Where all my strivings cease. And when my heart melts within me, And weakness takes control; He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul.
The great “I AM” is with me, my life is in His hand, “Allah” is my hope,
It’s in His strength I stand. I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my Lord “Rabb”; He has promised to be with me, as through this life I trod.
I’m looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven’s throne above; my prayers have reached My “Allah”, I’m resting in His love.
I give my “Allah” thanks in everything, my eyes seek him;
The battle’s His, the victory is mine; He’ll help me win the race.
Insha’Allah w Aameen Ya Rabb!
Please remember me in your duas.
With Duas You’re Sister

PS… Below is the final post for now, till Allah wishes it to be so.
The Tongue and the Heart
“Whoever believes in Allah and the last day should speak good or keep silent.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim)
The tongue expresses what is in the heart. If a person’s heart is good you see it in their saying.
If the tongue is used correctly then it has its blessing but if used incorrectly it has its dangers. Allah has given us this tool (the tongue) to communicate and it is a blessing form Allah which must be used correctly.
The gratitude we should show for this great blessing should include, using it for the obedience to Allah for reading the Quran (and good Islamic materials), for speaking good, such as, enjoining good and forbidding the evil and in teaching the ignorant, in Dhikr, in worship, in sincere advice to our brothers and sisters and in many other things which enable us to get closer to Allah. It is true that ONE saying may enter a person into the fire and one saying may save a person from the fire and enter one into paradise.
The prohibitions of the tongue are that you do not lie, abuse, use foul language, backbite, and do not slander.
The tongue is protected by the teeth and then the lips which should act as a prison when indulging in loose talk. Allah says in the Qur’an:
“Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their prayers with all solemnity and full submissiveness. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden).”
(Surah Al-Mu’minoon 23:1-3)
Here Allah mentions the words “turn away from” not “leave” which shows that, refraining from vain talk is a characteristic of the believers.
Imam Shafi said, “If you wish to speak then it is upon you to think before you speak. If you think there is good in it then you should speak and if not then do not speak.”
One searching for salvation against vain talk should ask themselves:
1) Will this saying of mine please Allah?
2) Will this saying of mine bring me closer to Allah?
3) Does this saying earn with it obedience to Allah?
If so then speak otherwise on should keep silent.
Sahl ibn Sa’ad (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Whomever guards what is between his jaws and legs, I will guarantee him paradise.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim)
This is one of the open paths to paradise. It is calling the people to come to paradise with the guarding of their tongues.
“Oh Allah make it easy upon us to follow the best Prophet, Guide and Teacher who have blessed us with.Aameen.”
