Brotherhood/Sisterhood for the sake of Allah


 I have no biological sisters only 2 brothers but Alhamdulillah ,Allah has blessed me with cousins & sisters in law who I am close to.

More than that ,are many of my sisters with whom I have a very special bond,it is not by blood or marriage but on the special faith we share.

Wherever I have been,I have had few sisters who I can call as my own,and who I know will be with me in every thick and thin.

I am talking about Brotherhood/Sisterhood for the sake of Allah.

The best example of this can be seen in the bond that Our Prophet(PBUH) shared with Aboobacker Siddiq(Ra) & Umar (Ra).Also this can be seen in between the Muhajireen(migrants of Makkah ) & the Ansar(Locals of Madinah).Each Muhajir was alloted a brother from the Ansar,their bond was so strong for the pleasure of Allah,that they divided everything they had between them.

The believers are but one ,no one is superior to the other in terms of wealth,status,lineage, descent etc.




Now onto some personal experiences.When we live in places far away from home and our extended families,it is of course our close friends or neighbours who keep us going.Just knowing that they will be there for you is a relief.If you are not well,or you need help with babysitting,playdates,some time to hang out with like minded people or to help you in any kind of need,they are always there.

The love between those who Love for the sake of Allah is so pure and unselfish.They go out of their way in helping others hoping for reward from Allah alone.

Let us see the rewards for loving fellow Muslims for the sake of Allah-

When 2 people love for the sake of Allah,He loves them in return.




May Allah almighty bless us with such bonds and help us preserve them and help us work together for our hereafter...Ameen

Middle age crisis

                        Middle age crisis - Middle age is the time when you are almost settled in life, basically it is the time from your youth to old age. But you start getting feelings of regret,your self confidence is affected and you may feel less valued Both men and women go through this,but studies show that women face more issues,be it psychological or physical.It is the reproductive period of a woman 's life,where she may experience perimenopausal symptoms, sometimes irritability,fatigue etc.It is also a time when your children are either growing up,grown up and your parents are ageing.Hence it is the peak time of responsibilities. Hormonal changes, maybe weight gain,greying of hairs,hair fall, different body aches are all part of middle age. Some women have early menopause and this too affects their health.Menopause leads to loss in bone density (osteoporosis) ,hence bones fracture easily,hot flashes,tantrums ,mood sw...

 I was thinking 🤔 of the topic for my next blog when I thought it should be about children. Children are a trust(Amanah) placed on us by our Lord and given to us for a destined time.Nobody gets to choose parents.All babies are born with Fitrah(natural inclination),pure.Then it is the family ofcourse who bring up their children with certain values,morals etc. We live in a world where some have children and some don't ,that again is ofcourse the will of God. Babyhood-A child is born.He/she is given a name and cared for as they are completely dependent.Slowly they start to smile,recognize and explore the world around them. Some personal experiences-  Shaza was born,she was the first granddaughter on both sides too.She was basically a quiet baby,who didn't create much trouble for me. Along came Amani,she was a 'tomboy' who was a little naughty. Liyana was more like Shaza.She was also quiet not very naughty . Aiman ,the boy after these 3 was and is indeed naughty😃. It amaz...
