"So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: and you shall have the upper hand if you are believers."
--
Quran (3:139)
"Life is only a crossing point and a passage that is not lasting,
just like a cloud that will soon move, and a dream that one will soon wake up from..."
- Ibn al-Qayyim

The Believer's Handbook
Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
I pray that insha'Allah you are all in the best state of affairs.
I know it's been a while since the last post on the other blog. As you know, that one is no longer in use. I've deleted it. It was almost a year ago since I last posted. I must admit, I sort of forgot about this, instead directing my thoughts to a special book I have. Let me tell you about this special book.
It's called "The Believer's Handbook." You can have one too. All you have to do is find or buy a notebook. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Actually, I'd recommend it not be something fancy. Buy something plain.
Now make it 'yours.' Change that plain notebook so that it screams 'you.' Design it, alter it, let the creativity flow. This is an important step, because I feel that it makes the book more meaningful to you. It'll be a part of you. The more time you put into it, the more you'll cherish it.
Now, the best part: content.
Ever have a surge of Iman when you read an ayah? Have you felt the tears well in your eyes when you read that hadith? Felt your heart touched by a quote you read? Felt wonderment and awe when you contemplated the world around you?
And then forgot about it the next day?
Alas, if only there were a way to keep track of all those moments. Like a reference book to look at and recount those moments to a friend, or remember them in solitude. And that's just what such a book is for.
I prithee, try it out. You won't regret it and it'll be very beneficial, insha'Allah.
That's all for now, insha'Allah I'll add more soon.
Take care, and make duaa for your sister in Islam.
Ma'asalam.

about me
I am nothing more than a muslimah and mu'minah, insha'Allah, who is striving to please Allah
SWT.
A righteous man once said:
"Whoever enriches his outward behaviour by following the sunnah, and makes his inward soul wealthy through
contemplation,
and averts his gaze away from looking at what is forbidden, and avoids anything of a doubtful nature, and feeds
solely on what is halal- his inner sight will never falter."
