An Embraced Humility...

I wish I had time to write everything that ran through my head--unfortunately, life doesn't allow that...specially for over analytical, dwellers like myself. Pride. It's interesting because I know so many of us who carry our pride for our faith and beliefs -- but then it becomes dangerous. Blinding so many to the simple or small things we could do to forge an understanding. That moderate path phenomena strikes again. It's like trying to decide how much to leave up to Allah completely and sit patiently, or go out and do something, only then to wonder-did I do the right thing?

Alhamdulilah (Praise be to God) for everything :)

3 weeks...just 3 weeks.

A beautiful du3a (supplication) I have found comfort in for just about anything...
Dua in Arabic

‘O Allaah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You name Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.’
