THOUGHTS: My Bestest Friend

"Allah is Our Bestest Friend"

Allah Is My Best Friend:

1) I can talk to my best friend about anything... things that I normally wouldn't speak about with 'ordinary' friends... things that I wouldn't even mention to my parents.

2) I can keep talking, on and on, with my best friend while I know that they're always listening, never bored of my random speeches.

3) I'll keep talking to my best friend, crying to my best friend, complaining to my best friend, while being completely aware that they (my best friend) won't tease me nor tell anyone of my secrets.

4) My best friend knows so much about me... my past, my present... even my future, as well as my dreams I dream every day and night.

5) My best friend is always there while everyone else are asleep. My best friend is the One hearing, always listening while the others are unaware. My best friend is always guiding, guiding me to good deeds that lead to Heaven, guiding me to Him (Allah).

( My Best Friend Is Allah )

"Only good/pure souls embrace Islam."

Masha-Allah.

We love our families but we love Allah more.

We love our spouses but we love Allah more.

We love our selves at times but we will always love Allah more.

((( I Love You Allah! )))

Any Muslim who loves Allah and lives his/her life in a way that is pleasing to Allah is insha-Allah one of Allah's Friends. Allah knows best.

THOUGHTS: Astrology 'Star Signs' Are Just Lies

Allah, the Only God and Creator, said: "To God (Allah) belongs the knowledge of the unseen in the heavens and the earth and to Him do all affairs return. Worship Him (Allah) and trust Him. Your Lord (Allah) is not unaware of what you (creation/servants) do." (The Holy Qur'an: Surat Hud Verse: 123)
Allah knows best.

“Star Sign”	Some “Astrologers” claim that people with this sign are:	But that is not true:
Aries	active and adventurous.	I met a lazy “Arian” girl who was passive; she was only active in ‘sleeping’ every once in a while.
Leo	sociable, vainglorious born leaders.	There are “Leos” who are ‘vain’ and there are “Leos” who are ‘humble’. Not all “Leos” are born leaders, maybe others choose to be true followers.
Gemini	intelligent, playful extroverts who love to socialize.	I met a “Gemini” girl who wasn’t academically intelligent, and who happened to be a shy introvert.
Taurus	patient, ‘formal’ and stubborn.	Anyone can be patient when they need to be patient, anyone can ‘act’ formal at ‘formal gatherings’, and anyone can be stubborn when their beliefs are strong.
Cancer	strong on the outside, emotionally weak on the inside.	Other ‘signs’ can also be sensitive or emotional.
Virgo	excessive worriers and perfectionists.	Other ‘signs’ can ‘worry’ at times. “Leos” too can be perfectionists.
Libra	kind, creative, sensitive to others’ needs.	“Leos” can be kind. Many “Sagittarians” are so creative. And any “star sign” can be sensitive to people’s needs, not just Librans.
Scorpio	ambitious and ‘powerful’.	Not all “Scorpios” are determined and ‘powerful’.
Sagittarius	adventurous, fun entertainers.	I had a ‘Sagittarian’ friend and classmate who was more ‘serious and studious’ than ‘funny and entertaining’.
Capricorn	serious, artistic and hardworking.	I had a “Capricorn” friend who was more ‘silly, fun and goofy’ than serious. One of my relatives is a “Capricorn” who isn’t, in my opinion, very creative.
Pisces	compassionate, understanding extroverts	Many “Libras” and “Geminis” can be compassionate and understanding, many ‘signs’ are extroverted, not just “Pisceans”.
Aquarius	extroverts who can surely get along quite well with any Leo	big fraud. “Leos” are not always “compatible” with any “Aquarian”. I knew a “niqaabi” “Aquarian” whom I’m not interested in being friends with because she’s too different and uncreative.

Why you should not believe in astrology:

1. Only God (Allah) knows what our true qualities/personalities are. No created thing can give us qualities which do not describe us.
   
   2. No human or created thing can ever comprehend the stars and galaxies that God (Allah) created. Only Allah knows the unseen. Knowledge of everything belongs to Him (Allah) alone.
   
   3. Do not rely on astrology regarding how your relationships with others should be. If the star sign of any one of your family members, say your mom, is an astrological sign that is incompatible with your astrological sign, does that mean that you and your mom will never be close to each other? No. Respecting and taking care of your parents is one of the keys to Jannah/Heaven, regardless of whether you are 'compatible' with them.
   
   4. If you really want to be close friends with someone you must:
   i. spend time with them as much as you can, when they want you to be with them
   ii. always defend them, if they are badly spoken about, in their absence and presence
   iii. never do anything that they do not want you or anyone to do -to them and to any of their loved ones i.e.family and other friends
   
   5. have more than five things in common. Example: you both are creative, extroverted and of the same age, you both love cooking, writing poems and limericks (non-haraam ones of course), and educating others about Islam. < if you have five things in common with a Muslim, insha-Allah you both will 'click' and get along pretty well despite your 'star signs' being "incompatible".

PERSONAL: Quick Poem To My Husband Only

Ten Words Of Advice
From Your Wifey

(To Dr. Nomayri Mababaya)

(poem written on the spot)

Salaam,


A quick poem to my loving hubby,

Some words of advice to love Nomayri,

Love is not just physical but love is caring,

A strong emotion felt by the truly daring,

Who love also for the sake of Allah (our God),

Who made us to worship Him without any fraud,

1) Fear Allah and know that God is True,

2) God wants you to be with Him (in Heaven), me and you,

So obey His Laws though some may be hard,

Do what He commands -of good deeds- Sunnah and Fard,

3) Always pray on time, especially the Fajr prayer,

So that your salahs can defend you in the Life After,

4) Make sure that your soul is always clean,

Free of things that God hates and which only demean,

5) If you want to pass any exam, big or small,

Study your notes, the good you've learned -learn them all,

6) Should you miss out on something you've always wanted,

Know that Allah's love is what you should want most granted,

7) If you have God, the opinions of the world don't matter,

Anyone hated by God will always end up a loser,

8) Know that God (Allah) wants to see you happy,

So if you walk through tough days it's a way to purity,

Purity of your soul, freeing it from every sin,

To guide you to Allah and be more closer to Him,

9) A Du'a: May Allah guide you, baby Nomayri, to Iman,

Strong faith and wisdom, and good thoughts of 'you can',

May Allah's curse be on those spies of jinns and jealous men,

Who want us divided, and are found plotting now and then,

Ameen. 10) If I did you any wrong, babynoma, please forgive,

May Allah grant you a good life that He wants you to live,

May Allah enable you to tell what's right from what is wrong,

May Allah make your heart soft and your Iman more strong,

Ameen. From your wife Mariam who stayed loyal always,

Who mentioned you in her du'as many nights and days.

May you, Dr. Nomayri, be the first and last husband for me if God (Allah) wills.

Ameen.

Love,

Mariam Mababaya
