MABROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!

AMAL

"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears;
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears;
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all!"

Today Alhamdulilah I had a great reunion with an old friend of mine.

The paths have taken us apart and time got us used to the distance.

Suna and I met 10 years ago in Baton Rouge, LA, we were friends the whole time I lived in Louisiana. It was a great friendship. Then the day came when my family decided to go back to Saudi Arabia, we had a sad farewell and hoped to keep in touch.

A year later my family and I moved back to LA, and Suna was gone. I asked her cousins they said she got married and moved to California. I was so sad but couldn't do anything about it, cause her cousin didn't know anything else about her.

Years went by, I moved to Arizona, got married and never thought that Suna's path would ever cross mine, but today it did.

In a very unexpected fashion I found my self talking to 2 ladies who were here visiting just for the weekend, the were asking me about life in AZ and Muslims here. During our conversation I mentioned the fact that I lived in Baton Rouge so the lady says oh, I have family in Baton Rouge from the family of (blank).

To my excitment I said oh my God I know the family (blank), I know this girl and that girl, and oh yeh my best friend was from that family but we parted after she got married, last I heard of her was that she had triplets. At that moment the lady I was talking to says pointing at the other lady from LA, " this is the only lady from the (blank) family that had triplets".

I looked at her and I just got tears in my eyes. IT WAS HER! 10 years later but it was her. I could'nt come close to her or hug her for a few moments until it registered in my head that this was SUNA my long lost friend :)


We huged and cried a little and then huged again. It was the best feeling in the world.

Subhan Allah, Allah just took a bk away from me and less than a week later found me my old friend. They dont replace each other but it diffenatly makes things easier.

I promise to not lose track of any of my friends (unless they want me to). and I promise I will not lost track of Suna again.

I love all my friends.

The Answer to your Supplications is Delayed for a Reason

There is an interesting situation that confuses all of us : the believer who is afflicted with a calamity and then invokes Allah constantly, yet sees no signs of an answer to his prayers. Then when he comes near to the point of hopelessness, the true worth of his heart is found out.

If he is pleased with what Allah decreed for him, without losing hope of Allah's favor, then in most situations it is at this point that such a person's supplications are answered, answered because his test is over: his faith has shined through and the devil has been defeated. So is is at the time of near hopelessness that the worth of man is judged. This meaning is in the saying of Allah:

"Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such trials as came to those who passes away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said," when will come the help of Allah?" Yes! Certainly the help of Allah is near!" Quran 2:214

After Yaqub lost his son, much time elapsed, yet he never lost hope of relief. Instead of relief, another of his sons was then taken away, and even then he did not lose hope of Allah's favor and mercy:

"So patience is most fitting for me. it may be that Allah will bring them all back to me. Truly He! Only He is all knowing, all wise" Quran 12:83


Never therefore, should one feel that too much time has passed by without his supplications being answered. One should realize that whenever one is tested with hardship, one's patience and faith are being tested. To pass such a test, one must drive away the whispers of the shaytan and then turn for help to the Most Merciful, the most Generous, the most Wise.

Here is a little dua'a for students during finals..

"O Allaah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being over powered by men."

Studied too long (not surfed)
When they say the nights get shorter in the winter..They're not kidding...

I was up studying all night for a stupid organic chemistry exam and a case study for my nutrition class..It was 6 am and I was barely done with my last chapter and my case study was done.. (I started studying for his exam 4 days ago which usually is more than enough to finish 5 chapters)..

Right now I'm feeling brain dead and I have to drive to the end of the world to turn in my casestudy, then drive back to the begining of the world to take my organic chem exam...and then...my compy cozy warm bed awaits....

Please pray for me, even if the test is over, pray that the instructor just received the best news and decided to give everyone A's...

May Allah bless you all

PS: my homesickness is getting stronger..

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I've been wanting to write a new post for a while now. I cant say I have nothing to talk about, I think it might be too many things to write about..

But since the 21st night of Ramadan I had a topic in mind but i just didnt get around to posting it.. so here it is.. part of the post is arabic I will translate but if you want to read the arabic and your pc wont show it, go to view-->encoding-->more--> arabic windows. now here is my post..

Usually when I drive to asu east, I like to listen to something that would keep me interested otherwise I would fall asleep on the loooong boring 202. So I have 3 Surah's that I want to memorize that I play on and on..Surat Maryam, Surat Yusef, Surat al Kahf. So on the 20 day of ramadan I was listening to surat yusuf and as I heard it for the 100th time, I noticed an Ayah for the first time..
Ayah number 87, the later part of the ayah saying: "and never give up hope of Allah's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve" sadaq Allah Alatheem.
"ولا تيأسو من روح الله, إنه لا ييأس من روح الله إلا القوم الكافرون"
The word "Rawh" mentioned in the Ayah means either mercy as mentioned above or the spirit.

I found this Ayah the most beautiful Ayah ever...Just think about it..in every day life when something happens to us, Alhamdulilah most of us remember that its a test from Allah SWT and we believe that Allah is with us and his mercy is showering us..

for lack of words to explain the beauty of this Ayah I will stop here and keep it up to you to apply it to your life which everway you think its right.


Never give up hope from the mercy and soul of Allah..

your sister,
Hope

Reasons why I quit my job


1- The fact that its a mental hospital
2- The fact that i have to work weekends
3- The fact that i can finish my work in half the time my coworker can (which pisses my boss off, dunno why)
4- Being sexually harrased by a 50 year old man
5- man many many many many small reasons...
6- this is a sample of what my coworkers talk about all day :
Man1: Man I wish I was gay
Man 2: why ??
Man 1: It would be so much easier to find a man than to find a women
Man2: Man I love women, i think if i didnt get one ill just become a man whore to get one.

7- This is a Sample of what the patients talk about:
Patient: Im soo sick of being the invisible man and having to save the world
Nurse: dont you like to save the world
Patient: I do but i wish i wasnt invisible, i want the people to see me when i save them

I've been working in this hospital since August 2005 and my last day is october 15 inshaa Allah...
I think one thing all my coworkers agree on, is that there is a huge possibilty to become one of the patients after working here long enough...
Friends...watch out...
