A TRIP THAT BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO GOD

A TRIP THAT BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO GOD

Posted by HIBA on 10:05 PM in articles,

I was expecting a no by all means when I called my mom. I so badly wanted to go on a small trip. I wanted to be there celebrating Onam at my hostel mate’s place. So when I dialled my mom’s number I was having my fingers crossed just so I hope she says a yes. For some odd reason I got the permission to visit WAYANAD! One night spend there could be worth all the risk I took. I know I live in a society where a girl is questioned for everything she do. And I thank my parents and above all my lord for blessing me with this life. Had it not been for such awesome parents I would not have been permitted to go travelling. So thanks mom and dad.

Wayanad was a memory for me. Four years back a camp that sort of changed hell a lot in my life. Memories were reborn the moment I started travelling. The weather at this time of year in Wayanad is my all time favourite weather. Pretty much cold and sunny with a bit of rain here and there. I travelled by bus and at the last moment my elder bro was ready to accompany me just for the bus ride.

Onam celebration was ending when I reached my friend’s place. Still the SADHYA served in the banana leaf and all the variety curries spread....yummy!! I also met some great people out there. I felt homely. Having parents abroad and being here alone, the people over there made me feel like I was at my own place. The relations between each member in the family made me fall in love with everything Wayanad had to provide. I was not surprised to see such a great family; I was happy, Happy to know that I am blessed somehow.

Though it was a short stay there I got closer to my lord. I was given the chance to make myself evaluate me. The way back home I thought about me, about my flaws, my dreams, my achievements, my fears. I was speechless!

I still cannot believe that a trip could provide me with so much. Family bonds, nature, relations, patience etc was brought in view to me.

Probably many reading this will be wondering if I landed from the Stone Age. Maybe I did, or maybe I love what I experienced. If I get the chance to spend some more days there, I would go back for sure. I would love to stay there and enjoy every minute. It is not easy but I still won’t mind.

Thanks to my friends for a great time and let your families know big thanks for all the love and care.

Thank you umma and uppa for letting me have some good time. Thank you, Shabana for encouraging me to go with you.

Thank you, Allah for providing me with an opportunity to get closer to you. I love you!

A STEP TO THE NEXT DESTINATION

A STEP TO THE NEXT DESTINATION

SALAAM FRIENDS

My friend informed me that our school is reopening tomorrow. I was happy to know that IISD is gonna be back to full of activities. At the same time i was sad realizing the fact that i won’t be going back there a student. Last year on the day before i was off to school i was lazy, lazy to pack my bag, to iron my uniforms etc. It was all messed p and i literally cursed IISD for opening so soon. Now the blue and white salwar, the green painted walls, those tables and chairs....all seem to be the best memory of my childhood. I cant believe that i am no more a school student.

It has been a month my college started and i have had a lot of good and amazing memories. I already made some great friends both inside and outside the campus. It is surprising how a month of my life could be spend with so much to remember for a life long time. Roaming around the city with friends, malls, hostel nights, movies, classmates, photos, bunking, partying, studies, presentations,elections, debates, fights,friendship every thing happened in a month. I don't have any regret regarding that fact that i chose to study here. I love it here.

School taught me how it was a child. And life here teaches me more than that. It is a big step but still something worth taken.

I thank god for putting me through all the stages i have gone through. Thank my parents for looking after a rebellious child like me. I know how short tempered i am with my family, but still they have taken me as i am!

My life now, alhamdulillah is good. I might be away from my parents and siblings but still everything is smooth and nice.

As my fellow juniors are off to school tomorrow i want you all to know that school life is the first destination in the journey of your life. enjoy and learn.

Thank you!

God bless

Infinity and Beyond

Peace!

SPREAD PEACE!!

SPREAD PEACE!!

Posted by HIBA on 2:49 PM in articles,

Salaaam to all!!

This is to my brothers and sisters out there. I know how really distracted and irritated to a point we all are. The fact that MODI SIR is winning. But let us put it this way. He isn’t any god. He isn’t any super natural human being. He is just another creation of GOD ALMIGHTY. So calling him names or cursing him has nothing good to do to us or him. maybe if we keep on cursing and calling him names his bad deeds may be subtracted and ours added. We all know how our prophets waited. I would  like to remind you all of a story during our prophet’s (Pbuh) time.

There was this girl who would throw garbage at our prophet (pbuh) all day. She would wait for him to come and do what pleases her. One day our beloved prophet could not find her. She was absent. He Inquired about her and found she was ill.He went to Her place and prayed for her. Now how many of us have this sort of patience and humility. How many of us have at least the good in us to keep silent.

After all the hadith is “SPEAK GOOD OR PRACTICE SILENCE”. SO WHY MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS SHOULD WE SPEAK EVIL ABOUT HIM??

If we don’t show the true side of our religion then we will be the ones paying for it. And modi coming into power should never irritate us. Coz he is in power coz Allah wants him to be. Let us leave it to Allah. After all modi is nothing in front of Allah. We all are nothing in front of our lord.

So my sisters and brothers, don’t lower your standards to those by speaking evil about them. He might be doing bad, but why should you go down to his level by talking bad about him?? that doesn’t even sound like sensible!!

So stop swearing and let us spread Islam.

If anyone of you think I support him, nope I don’t. I support secularism and peace, and I support in the rule of my lord. In sha Allah, India will live in peace someday!

All we have to do is pray and leave the rest the almighty!

Do share this and spread the word of peace!!! J

Thank you

Peace

Keep smiling

TRUTH- IT DOES NO BAD

TRUTH- IT DOES NO BAD

Posted by HIBA on 10:23 PM in articles,

salaam people!!!

How many times have we not told the truth just so to be safe? How many times have we hid things that we didn’t want someone to find out about us?

What good does it do to us? How long can we keep it a secret? Does it do any good for our permanent life?

Well the fact is; no, it does no good to us.

We barely think before lying, the consequences, the impact it would have later on, etc.But on the other side truth might create a temporary crash in our life, but it will recover as time passes. It shows that we are not coward, that we are courageous enough to be honest and truthful.

THE HIJABIFIED VERSION!

THE HIJABIFIED VERSION!

Posted by HIBA on 12:39 AM in articles,

Wassup  people?!?!?

High waist jeans are the trend in the fashion industry (I heard so).

Okay, so I was wondering about how fashion, dressing and stuffs related have changed in our era and now from going all low everything is turning too high!

How easy it is for a piece of cloth to destine what we are going to present ourselves as! How crazy it is for those who go behind ALDO or ZARA, (let me be honest, these are the only two brand names that came into my little head)? Now those brand-maniacs will have their own reasons to justify but I never get the point on how easy it is for a human to forget his/her lord’s command and follow the latest trend so that they are too TAGGED IN THE “MODERN” CATEGORY. Now the reason I double quote the word modern is simple because in the generation a person is modern if his dressing style, social (online) life, his language etc are up-to-date.

Now talking about my sisters who believe they have to end up tomorrow in front of their lord the below stuff is especially for you. (Anyone’s welcome to read though!)

How many of us actually are in hijab when required?

How many of us turn around to dress up as celebrities at parties or other occasions?

How many of the daily hijabis turn out to be diva’s on their wedding?

I know how crazy we girls are when it comes to dressing. How we keep shopping for the best outfit, matching heels, matching accessories, matching what so ever. But again are we listening to our lord who told us woman that we are the most precious species on this planet. We have been raised to such a position that heaven comes under our leg but still we forget all this when it is a farewell party or a wedding reception. We paint our faces with highlight pink and blue, we stitch a dress on our body, and we fine a giraffe neck heel and think ourselves to be the prettiest among all! (Am I exaggerating???)

So I too had this problem, you see, trying to fit myself in this big world.

I realized that it isn't hard to practice my religion at all. As long as I am a Muslim woman I would not have to worry about pleasing the people around me. All that matters will be if my LORD is happy with me and as long as I listen to him I am free of worries!! J

In this world where fashion industry is a means to expose woman it is necessary we have something we call the hijabified version of dressing. Something modern as well as modest. Something that make us feel comfortable. I always believe that dressing is not something that shows out who we are rather it is our character that reveal to the people around us who we are.

To be a Muslim girl who wants to satisfy her lord is such a easy task with some difficult path but again  it is said NO PAIN NO GAIN.

Our life here is not permanent, it is temporary. And our everlasting amazing life is yet to arrive. So why not sacrifice something for your own better in the future.

Sisters let us not forget that

He is our creator

Our king

The lord of the Day of Judgment

And he created us and to him we return

So let us start up the hijabified version of life!!!!

Wait for more…. J

Peace!

A WALK DOWN THE MEMORY LANE......

A WALK DOWN THE MEMORY LANE......

Posted by HIBA on 2:48 PM in articles,

I was five then, my first day in school. I sat beside a girl who later turned out to be one of my best friends. How excited we used to get each day to meet each other and play with each other. Kurian, my first guy friend, the gentle man in my class He was the tallest kid in my class, I wonder where he is now! My first guiding star, Mrs. Shameem Saleem. UKG ended with me being an apple tree, a granny and of course a hyper-active, naughty girl with short curly hair!

Kindergarten taught me that life is not a short travel but a big one which always matters on small steps we take.  All the first lessons from “mat” to what I learn now started from the small steps since KG!!

Our first friends will always remember us what ever be it. Our first teachers teach us things which no one else can. Our first parties are always the ones we enjoy the most. The first tears that drop from our tiny eyes are valuable because those tears taught us lessons to be forever in our heart. I still remember how hard it was for me to leave my parents and go to school every morning and now how many of us at least remember to tell them all “BYE” OR “LOVE YOU” before we leave. We have grownup to be so big we tend to forget the little things around us…...

My first fight because the girl sitting beside me made fun of my bestie!!(Now this is a real sensitive topic) and how easily we forgot within a period time. But now things change, we fight with our own friends and pretend like everything’s fine. No matter what happens we don’t want to hurt our baby Ego!!

We roam around in the same classroom but won’t talk. The funniest part is the fight would have been for the silliest reasons :P.

The red uniform still makes me want to go back to those days, the days free from responsibilities. The days free from any sort of tensions. The only confusion was picking up dolls, the days when we could share everything with our parents, (not that you can’t now). The days will always be cherished in my memories. My kindergarten life. To all my buddies including KURIAN,SNEHA,SUHANA,NAHAN,NAFEESA,MAAZ,JANNATH,HEBA,FIZA,NEETHU,

SAMINA,SHADIA,AYESHA,GOKUL (MY KG CLASS MATES who I remember…..) LOVE YOU GUYS AND IF EVER GET A CHANCE LET US ALL GET TOGETHER!!

THOSE WHO READ THIS……. IF ANYONE OF YOU KNOW ANY OF THESE PEOPLE JUST LET ME KNOW, IT WILL BE A GREAT FAVOUR (UKG-S, 2001-2002 BATCH….THANKS!! :))

LISTEN AND THEN TALK....

LISTEN AND THEN TALK....

Posted by HIBA on 8:37 PM in articles,

I see it every day while going to school. A father and a kindergarten girl sitting on a bench in the park and talking. The girl was telling her dad things, most probably about her school and class. She was showing different actions and jumping around; you know what all a five year old girl will do if you let her have the spotlight. I looked at the father; he was sitting and listening to her. Just keenly listening to his five year old daughter telling him stories. I looked at my dad for a minute and smiled, knowing that this hero sitting right beside me listens to my crazy weird stories too.

We all have this big problem in our life, we don’t bother to listen. We all want to talk, give advice, scream, shout, backbite, and spread rumors. But we are not ready to LISTEN! Mostly because we are busy to give someone some time to tell out there problem. We have important things to do than understand why that girl in the corner of our class doesn't talk. We all including me take life for granted.

And then we see people like that father who change our reasons to live. Let us all change the way we treat people, let us all try to LISTEN more than talk!!
