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..

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
