A Letter To My Potential Self

Dear Potential Self,

I am sorry I put a lot of pressure on you. It is unfair how I expect you to save the world and get dinner ready by 6pm. You are not  an underwear-on-the-outside type of person; you're no superhero. You're just a regular Khadijah, looking for her regular Muhammad. 

I'm sorry that I keep adding stuff on to the list of things "TO BE". I tease you with the possibility of being a "somebody" and that's cruel.. I see it now. I want you to be the best that you can be so that you can move out of the space you rented in my head and live in the real world. A world where potholes amuse you. A place where your struggles are your assurances that God wants you to meet Him.

Oops, there I go again with my hopes and dreams for you. I hope you know that I'm proud of you and that I love you.

Just promise me that you'd hold onto the rail while looking at the stars.

Lots of love,
Your Actual Self

April Ludgate's wedding vows

" I guess I kinda hate most things, but I never really seem to hate you.
So, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, is that cool?"

Dear You,
Aren't you tired yet?
Aren't you tired from all the hiding minus the seeking?
Aren't you tired of being the only character in your book?
Aren't you tired of the monologues and the drafted dialogues?
Aren't you tired sitting by yourself, planning comebacks? 
Aren't you tired yet?
I know I am.
I hope you see things my way, dear Body.


Hugs & kisses,
Your Soul.

A friend emailed me this. Once again, let's polish our akhlaq :)


Brothers and sisters in Islam,

Several years ago, an Imam from out-of-state accepted a call to a Mosque in  Houston, Texas   .

Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.

As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be

wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it,

it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it.

Accept it as a 'gift from ALLAH' and keep quiet.'


When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change '

 The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the

new Imam in town?'


 'Yes' he replied.


 'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change.

I'll see you at the mosque.'

 
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said,

'Oh ALLAH, I almost sold you for a quarter.'


 Our lives are the only Quran some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Muslims, and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry your IMAN on your shoulders when you call yourself
 'Muslim.'

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character. 

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

oh my God. The most hilarious thing just happened !!

A friend said to me, "يوجد لديكي تعابير جميلة لا يمكن أن نجدها في فتاة أخرى".

Guess what GoogleTranslate said it means?

"There are beautiful expressions of the cock can not be found in another girl"

HAHAHHAHA

Poor guy wanted to make it easy for me to understand so he immediately copied it from GoogleTranslate and pasted it into our conversation.

tak boleh angs!! hahaa. nak muntah and ketawe at the same time! lol.

anyway, i told him to take that English sentence and translate it back to Arabic on GoogleTranslate. i think he's deeply embarrassed. Poor guy. All he wanted to do was to learn English. How dare you GoogleTranslate. Tsk.

Ok, maybe it wasn't "the most hilarious thing", but it is definitely Grade-A material!
