Sincerity is a secret between Allah and His servant which not even the angels know so as to record it, nor does satan know so as to corrupt it, nor is the desire aware so as to influence it.

How to be happy?
When you're purposely trying to be happy or cheerful, but just can't seem to acheive it at the moment, do something crazy. Turn your favorite music up loud and do a stupid dance to it. Talk to yourself in the mirror. Try a new food. Rearrange your room in a weird way. Write a funny or inspiring quote on your mirror/wall/locker. Scream as loud as you can (warn your family first!). Bounce up and down, jump all around. Go outside and turn the hose on yourself, if it's a hot day. It's stupid, crazy, weird stuff like that that seems pointless, but could actually lift your mood after you do it, just because you're glad you did it.

Night Whispers
The stars shine brightly as I open my window.
The curtains dance softly to the melody of the delicate breeze.
I sit by my window, bedazzled.
Its 3 am.
Nothing can compare to the complete calmness of this moment.
I hear HIM.
“Is there anyone who calls on Me that I may respond to him? Is there anyone who asks Me that I may give unto him? Is there anyone who requests My Forgiveness that I may forgive him?”
I hasten to make my wudhu.The splash of cold water illuminates my face.
As I begin the sacred conversation with my Lord, I leave this world far behind.
Every trace of worry or grief seems to be dissolving in the unfathomable beauty of the night prayer.
In His Divine Love, I find peace and strength.

the delayed GIFT
“If, in spite of intense supplication, there is a delay in the timing of the Gift [al-'ata], let that not be the cause for your despairing. For He has guaranteed you a response in what He chooses for you, not in what you choose for yourself, and at the time He desires, not the time you desire."

An ode to our good ol days, yeah!!!
Gudiiii jaaan,
Another year has come and gone..
But moments spent together unfold treasures..Of laughter and jokes during daylight
Of walks to remember in the moonlight
Of meals eaten always together
Of golden tea during twilight hour
Of rail travels on rainy days
To get pleasure from klcc gardens
Of iced cappuccinos in the scorching heat
To peach teas in the favorite E2 seats
Of merry banters during boring classes
To Idaman trips to buy glasses
Of New York cheese cake to break a fight
To a Nescafe treat to calm the storms
Of lovely escape to the surreal reality
During the cindrella’s newly wedded bliss
Of the gentle teasing to play the heart
To singing crazy songs in the mart
Of the maximum use of the little rice cooker
To create some wonders of the Tibetan delights
Of the serene hours in the peaceful masjid
During the month of Holy Ramadan
Of lovely iftars and tranquil i'tikafs
To standing beside in enchanting taraweeh
Of bubbling enthusiasm at the start of new sems
To unbeatable struggle to achieve the impossible
Of patience and strength during tough times
Of wisdom and understanding behind every test
Of that tender support and encouragement
For each other when the tides rose high
Of the loving warmth and embraces
Upon reaching the shores
Of infinite kindness that brought the gentle inner glow
To boundless generosity when sharing our little silly things
Of the fulfillment of our fondest dreams
To the sweet memories that passing years can never mar
Of experiences great and small
That has made us who we are
Of the special bond that we share
Like bread and honey in every way
I hope you know how very much you mean to me
In every way.
Happy Birthday Gudiiiiiii!!!

Na tum jano na hum
This song is one of my all time fav!
Gudi and me used to sing it sooo often, even during peak times of FYP! Haha, such freaks we were..
I felt like singing this soooo much today...
So sing with me :)

Kyon Chalti Hai Pavan
Kyon Jhume Hai Gagan
Kyon Machalta Hai Mann
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Kyon Aati Hai Bahaar
Kyon Lutta Hai Karaar
Kyon Hota Hai Pyaar
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Ye Madhoshiyaan Ye Tanhaiyaan
Tasabur Mein Hai Kiski Parchhaiyaan
Ye Bhiga Samaan Umangein Jawaan
Mujhe Ishq Le Ja Raha Hai Kahaan
Kyon Gum Hai Har Disha
Kyon Hota Hai Nasha
Kyon Aata Hai Mazaa
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Dhadakta Bhi Hai Tadapta Bhi Hai
Ye Dil Kyon Achanak Bahakta Bhi Hai
Mahakta Bhi Hai
Chahakta Bhi Hai
Ye Dil Kya Vafa Ko Samajhta Bhi Hai
Kyon Milti Hain Nazar
Kyon Hota Hai Asar
Kyon Hoti Hai Sahar
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Kyon Chalti Hai Pavan
Kyon Jhume Hai Gagan
Kyon Machalta Hai Mann
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Kyon Aati Hai Bahaar
Kyon Lutta Hai Karaar
Kyon Hota Hai Pyaar
Na Tum Jano Na Hum
Na Tum Jano Na Hum

And...
If there was a single sacred rose
On a mountain top that grows
Where nobody ever dares to go
For you I'd climb that mountain high
I would reach up to the sky
If that rose was your desire..
