I take inspiration to write from the most random and frequent things, they might be things I have seen, heard or even said, over and over again, a particular part of that thing might hit me differently and I'll keep thinking about it over and till I let it out through writing, because that's what works for me The particular thing that swayed me this time around is a part of Al-Qunuut, Yes the Qunuut we've been listening to since Allah knows when, you ask me what exactly, it's the part where it says Allahumma ja'alnaa nakhshaaka kannanaa naraak, Meaning Oh Allah, let's fret about you, like we are seeing you The meaning is very self explanatory and very easily comprehendable, the main reason why we sin and act forbiddenly is because we tend to forget that Allah is always watching and is closer to us that we can even comprehend,  Even in this world, we tend to get scared of certain people of authority like our parents, our bosses and leaders in every setting we m...

Wants are inevitable and intricate parts of our lives, but we must not let them dominate our existence, it's pretty easy for us as humans to wallow in the depth of our needs in our day to day lives leading to us not seeing, talkless of appreciating what's in front of us or what we've achieved already To live a beautiful and content life I think two things need to be separated our NEEDS -what our sustenance lays upon(housing, food, cloths etc) and WANTS -what we want to have or what we dream of having to make our lives better and in most cases; they aren't that big of a deal These wants come in different forms and at different phases of our lives, as a young girl it's probably some fancy doll house that your friend recently got, even though you already have a decent one, or a particular perfume you love as a teenager or a luxurious car you want as an adult... All these are things we experience day to day but resist the urge to fall into the depth of it all because...

 Of anything in this life, the importance of gratitude can't be mentioned enough, we find many reason to be grateful for every single thing in our existence, The beauty of being grateful is that more good comes to you, that's how this life works Going to certain places like the hospital, prison and Cemetery really helps, Good health can't be overrated and in our society today we see lots of broadcast multiple times every single day, you'll think one should be used to it by now, but it hits me every time I see it, people suffering not because of their sins or Nothing but because it's meant to be and they still find a reason to be grateful. I went to the Prison about a year and half ago and I can't forget what one woman an elderly woman of about 50 said, She said we won't know the importance of freedom till you're here and that we should avoid anything that'll lead us here, because it's the worst thing that can happen to human being, but that one s...
