Source[Say: “If both humanity and jinn banded together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could never produce anything like it, even if they backed each other up.” ] (Al-Israa’ 17: 88)Few days ago, I was watching the news when I stumbled upon a report about Pastor Terry Jones who is planning to burn the Qur'aan on 9/11. At first, I got really sad and upset and I wanted to cry at the

I wanted to update everyone and let you know that we have received the hijab/scrapbook.

So thank you everyone who weighted in getting it back.I was talking with another sister few days ago, and she mentioned how receiving the hijab/scrapbook is something

Oh My God, I will start by saying that I didn't wanna blog about this again but I have to out things straight so people won't be mislead by your new video and the comments on that video. First of, I read the comments on your video and I have NO IDEA who TravellingHijab or Brainvoltage is. They are impersonating me. I have not posted on your Youtube channel since you blocked me.

If you've been reading this blog,You'd know about the Sisterhood of the Traveling Hijab. If not, you can read about it Here. Anyways, the traveling Hijab has been going on for almost 2 years now and Alhamdulilah so far it's been a positive experience. Sisters from around the world have joined and shared their stories with us, and InshaAllah, more sisters can join in the future. Unfortunately, I

On a beautiful warm day in winter, two strangers walk by ignoring each other. There was a time when they used to know each other, love each other, but now they are strangers and forever they will be.....He betrayed her, she betrayed him. He is a husband, she is a wife, and they are married. He lied to her, she believed him. He lied again, she believed him. He lied again, she believed him again.

"By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class." -- Anne Morrow LindberghSomeone once said that the moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new... As ironic as it might sound, I couldn't disagree more.

Thank you all for the wishes and congrats. The past few days have been great and tiring. Great as I am enjoying motherhood, tiring as I am trying to get used to my new routine and adding a newborn to my schedule. I'm adjusting to waking up 4 or 5 times a night for diaper changes and to nurse the baby. After a while, you get used to it and it's not that bad. I even wake up before the baby to check

We were blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby girl on Monday September 28th, 2009 at 12:17 pm, 7pounds 1.3 ounces, 19.4 inches. She came unexpectedly at 37 weeks and 2 days.Even though the sleepless nights and the diaper changes already started, we just cannot be any happier! I will come back later to tell my birth story.

Hello everyone,My blogging has been scarce these days due to a complete lack of motivation on my part to get off my lovely couch. Sleepiness, tiredness, laziness, you name it I've been suffering from all sort of inesses lately mostly associated with late pregnancy. I was able to fast for about 2 weeks when my OB-GYn raised concerns about my condition. Instead of gaining the required 1 pound/week,

I've been MIA for a few days now due to the move and I also didn't have my new internet connection set up. The move was a hassle as our movers decided not to show up and we had to find a new moving company on the day we were supposed to move. We were lucky to find a company at 5h30 pm on Saturday and were out and about till midnight. I'm still not done unpacking but decided to do it slowly as I

We are moving to our new place on Saturday and I spent the past few days trying to get my things together, packing what I need, getting rid of what I don't need. Moving is one of my least favorite things to do. I hate the whole ordeal, packing,cleaning, unpacking, re-arranging,... you name it, I hate it.Just thinking about it gives me a headache! I try to throw away most of the stuff that I've

In a bar in a remote village in Spain, close to the city of Olite, there is a sign placed there by the owner. "Just as I succeeded in finding all the answers, all the questions changed." The master says: "We are always concerned with finding answers. We feel that answers are important to understand what life means.

"Wherever you may be, death shall overtake you, even if you were in fortified towers". Noble Qur'an (4:78)First, thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, duas and comments. I really appreciated all of them. Being so close to death, was perhaps a blessing, a reminder from Allah that I was deviating from my main purpose in this life. Sometimes, we are so consumed in our activities, families, jobs

“Every soul shall have taste of death; In the end to Us shall ye be brought back" [Surah Al-'Ankabut, 29:57]I've never been a statistic. Never had any major injuries,broken bones or stitches. So far, one can say that I've had an uneventful life without emergency scares or life threatening issues. All that was going to change 2 days ago on Monday July 27th 2009.

The mistake came from my dr's office since they told me I could go without an appointment. So, I fasted, got there first thing in the morning and lost half of my day just to realize I wouldn't be able to take the test today. Needless to say, I was pissed but inshaAllah, I

I just received a call from my dr saying that I failed my glucose test which means I could have gestational diabetes. I have to go to a different lab tomorrow morning for a 3 hour test that can take up to 5 hours and have my blood drawn every 30 minutes. I have to pass at least 3 of those tests to be cleared.

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in

Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) reported that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلّم) said, "When the Muslim - or believing - slave does wudu' and washes his face, every wrong thing at which his eyes have looked leaves with the water - or with the last drop of water. When he washes his hands, every wrong thing which his hands have touched leaves with the water - or with the last drop of water.

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

I don't know if she's Muslim or just posing to be one, but apparently she seems to know a lot about Islam. I received this email last week from a certain Sister Aisha Ojo and she used the email newtohijab@gmail.com . First, I was a bit perplexed when I started reading her long email but the more I read, the more I doubted someone would actually make up this story swearing by all Allah's names.

Salam all,I can't beleive it's almost been 2 weeks since I last posted on this blog. As some of you already know I've not been feeling well these past few days and that has prevented me from blogging. I sometimes open the blog but feel so dizzy when I try to read that I just close it back and lay down. I'm feeling a bit lightheaded as I'm writing this right now but thought I'd stop and tell you

We had a snow storm that started on sunday evening. Woke up yesterday to find a white blanket covering everything in town. That allowed me to work from home and be lazy. I'm back in the office this morning though and it's freezing outside. My allergies are also back,I'm sneezing, my nose is running and I just wanna sleep.I'm hoping to survive the day with an unfrozen brain. Have a great day

About 2 weeks ago, I ordered 3 tunics from Najea over at Hijabi Couture . I received my order on Satuday and was thrilled. I love the tunics. The fabric is great, the cut and style are so unique and the design is absolutely beautiful. Najea was quick to respond to my emails while I was ordering and even gave me some advice on what sizes to order. She's such a lovely sister and I would recommend

It all started one day before the Inauguration in Dupont Circle.'The target practice on the giant Bush doll began around 11:00 in the morning and was still going five hours later, as thousands of people walking through the circle stopped to pick up a shoe and wing it at the outgoing president. Some threw fastballs . Others tied several together in an attempt to land them on Bush's long

On Saturday, I actively took part to a protest against the slaughter of children and civilians by the zionist state of Israil.The protest started in front of the White House and went on all the way to the Washington Post and other main landmarks in DC.As for any war, there were 2 groups. One that was fighting for ideals, for more integrity, more justice and more fairness. For them, the cry of a

A Message to share:~There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.~So, too, your hopes,

I remember being extremely angry at Israil when they attacked Gaza few days ago. I remember watching the air raids and the tanks, I remember seeing bodies of women and children, I remember crying out of anger. But today, after spending my weekend on my couch watching every american news channel, watching every news report of Al-Jazeera, I am not angry at Israil anymore. See, Israil only did what

The movie shows the relationship between parents and their children once the kids grow up.Parents put all their efforts in trying to give their children the best life they could get and in return, once they grow up the kids don't wanna bother with

When she woke up, she had the lower part of her body bind and couldn’t feel anything. Her eyes were dull and she was tired after a long battle between life and death. Fatiha's mother had circumcised her daughter as she was herself circumcised and as her own mother was. Nobody could blame her since she just followed traditions which were all she knew. She believed that circumcision was the best

Fatiha was a girl of the Desert and like most girls of the desert, she was used to leaving loved ones behind. However, sometimes, there are people who come into our life and make us feel so unique, people with whom we have so much in common and so much love that losing them breaks our heart. Fatiha was only 10 years old when Munir left but she cried as she had never cried before. She cried for

Pure and innocent daughter of the Sahel, she loves to play with her friends on evenings and help milk the cows in the morning. Knee-high, the only type of life she knows is happy-go-lucky. Fatiha was her given name in remembrance of Arabs who came to visit her land

I'm preparing for the invevitable break-up with my laptop. Sometimes last week, I turned on my computer and it started doing some funny things. I kept getting messages from Spyware Guard 2008 telling me that it found 29 viruses in my computer and I needed to buy Spyware Guard 2008 to clean it up. First, I kept getting this message every 5 minutes or so, then I realized that there was a Spyware

May Allaah have mercy on your sons oh mother.Umm Ash-Shuhadaa and memories of Falujjah……..

What are you going to wear for Eid? If you're undecided, here are a few ideas from Arabian Nites.The creator of Arabian Nights,Yasmin Safri says: "I’d like to fuse Asian and western styles and create short abaya’s for women who want to wear them over jeans and take their first steps into the Islamic way of dressing. I don’t want to alienate anyone.". Her designs are simple, classy and modern.

I personally don't enjoy cooking. I cook out of necessity, not joy! I hate the planning what to cook part, doing groceries part, chopping part,the cleaning up the mess from chopping/peeling, doing dishes and cleaning the kitchen afterwards grrr. In my previous life as a student, I barely cooked, used to eat out all the time, my excuse being I did not have enough time to cook a decent meal and

After reading some of the comments made in the Jilbab fard/not fard discussion, I wanted to share this article on how I think we should deal with each other when we have different points of view on certain Islamic topics "Islam teaches that wudu is done this way." The man said confidently."But you're wrong," the young man replied. "That's totally against the laws of Islam.""But it says in a

What do you do when you are stressed out of your mind? Sometimes, situations, work, school or even family could add an ounce of stress in our life. How do you deal with it? Some people deal with it by going on a shopping spree and are called compulsive shoppers. They shop to deal with their stressful life. Compulsive Shopping hides a more serious problem and is only a symptom of the serious

We were watching an emotional show featuring a lady who lost her husband and had to take care of her kids alone. She was devastated, cried, screamed, said it was not fair and that they had everything planned together and now she has to come up with a new plan. It made me wonder if I could come up with a new plan if need be? Are you ready to die? Are you ready to lose your husband? wife? parents?

I don't like regular cakes.I don't even have cravings for them but I LOVE ice cream cakes. My husband and I finished 2 ice cream cakes by ourselves this weekend. I especially love the Carvel cakes,the crunchies in the middle are so yummy. There are also the Ben & Jerry cakes with two different flavor layers, yummy too.However,I hate cake with a side of ice cream. I know I'm weird like that.

Here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( and that's the only time I have to work on my hair ?). On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.Details inside. (the shoplifter special)? On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....) On some Swanson frozen dinners:

Yet another year! It's my birthday. You know you're getting old when you stop looking forward to your birthdays. . Every night, before going to bed I have to go in the kitchen, open the fridge and get something to drink. So, last night I was really surprised to find a gift bag in the fridge of any places with my gifts in it. When I asked hubby about it, he ran away, so I knew he put it there for

What's your favorite book? Mine has to be The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho. I have read this book about 10 times and I know I will read it again. It's a book that always teaches me something.From beginning to end the author takes you to a journey that helps you to realize that life is full of surprises. He suggests that those who do not have the courage to follow their Personal Calling, are doomed

Yesterday I stumbled upon this show on Discovery Channel aboutFreebirthing. I was curious to see what it was about and after watching it, I had mixed emotions. The crew followed 3 women in the US & UK who chose to give birth without prenatal care or medical help. Apparently a growing number of women in the US and in the UK are giving birth with no drugs, no midwife,no doctors,and no medical

I'm having a bad hijab day. For some reason, my hijab has decided that it has a mind of its own and refuses to stay straight on my head! I remember when I first started wearing the hijab, I thought I was so done with wasting time in front of a mirror fixing up my hair. I was right with the fixing my hair part, I still spend some decent time in front of the mirror trying to fix my hijab. Some days

So I bought these Hijabicaps from Al Muhajabaelaniqa( How do you pronounce that by the way?) and received them in a week. I was really excited till my husband said he doesn't like them because... His exact words were 'It looks like you have cancer and you're just covering your head with something' not in a mean way as he corrected me, bottom line is he doesn't think they're pretty. I, on

You vowed to love each other for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. But no one said anything about packing on the pounds together.Beleive it or not, I have gained 15 pounds since I got married about 5 months ago and no, I'm not pregnant! I found a study by Cornell University researcher Jeffery Sobal who states that newlyweds gain more weight than singles, widowed or divorced people.

I did not use to pray while at work. I would wait till I get home and make up all the prayers that I missed during the day! It was becoming too much of a hassle because I would end up not concentrating enough to make my prayers, it was more like a marathon trying to rush from one to the other. So I brought my prayer rug and now I lock my office when it's prayer time and do my salah. The thing is,

I want to start a new category about my'person of the day'. He/she doesn’t have to be someone I know, could be just a stranger I meet on the street.
