In sickness and in health – slip-sliding away…..

https://dreamlife.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/in-sickness-and-in-health

In sickness and in health. May 20, 2015. May 20, 2015. I’m not complaining though, because I get time off work – which is always good. Best of all is the actual space and time – free of the usual pressures of life. I can sleep until 9am, take really long, hot showers (which counteract the chills of fever), and enjoy undisturbed afternoon naps – giving my body the physical rest it needs (but most often doesn’t get). Tired, you can just close your eyes and go back to bed. Posted in Food for thought. You ar...

January 15, 2015. January 15, 2015. The piece below was written by a blogger called Maliha, whose work was really inspiring for me in my early years of blogging.

Regardless, please enjoy and ponder upon this particular writing, which made a big impact on me at a rough stage of my life. Imagine you are going into the unknown. It is dark. Terrifying.

March 2014 – slip-sliding away…..

https://dreamlife.wordpress.com/2014/03

Guess who’s coming? March 3, 2014. In the Islamic calendar, two major events stand out: Ramadan and Hajj. Both of them are seasons of barakah, wherein the sense of community is high, and on a personal level, our good deeds can be multiplied exponentially. In terms of timing, these seasons are close together occurring in the 9th and 12th months… More Guess who’s coming? Guess who’s coming? Hajj Chronicles – Part 19: Ascension.

London Calling – slip-sliding away…..

https://dreamlife.wordpress.com/2015/04/13/london-calling

April 13, 2015. April 13, 2015. I’ve been fortunate to have visited London many times in my life. In the space of 16 years, I probably went about 8 times. The last of those times was 2007, and this Easter, we had a family holiday there which was an awesome and valuable experience that I’ve been reflecting on recently. Make it easy to find out about places, and find them, very quickly. For example, you would never know that, just 2 blocks off Oxford Street, there’s a little masjid nestled amid the res...

https://dreamlife.wordpress.com/2015/07

July 16, 2015. This Ramadan, the recurring theme for me and my family has been dua: supplication; calling on Allah. Mufti Menk often says that whatever message reaches you (whether that be something you heard or saw) it’s meant for you. Don’t take it as some general advice to the masses. Allah specifically chose that message to… More Call on Him. Hajj Chronicles – Part 19: Ascension. Hajj Chronicles Part 18: Joke’s on you. Hajj Chronicles Part 17: Memories for the heart.
