Queen of My Heart

"No!", Alia screamed and ran off into the crowd. Her mother scrambled after her and after keeping her cool & giving warnings to her 4-year-old for the past few hours, she now raised her voice and reprimanded her daughter for all to see.

While I, an unmarried, childless woman approved of her action (I had seen how Alia was behaving before that and I doubted I would have lasted as long as she did before scolding her kid), I saw my mum give a look of disdain.

The following day, I was out with my mum spending time together & running errands. During lunch, I asked her, "So yesterday I saw you give a disapproving look at the scolding Alia got."

"Yea, she shouldn't have scolded the girl in front of everyone. Just let her be. She's a kid anyway."

"But Alia was being so naughty! Her mother gave her so many warnings before that you know. I was with her."

"What did she do? Run around? Which kid doesn't run around? Plus, she finally had kids her age around her instead of her parents and aunties and uncles. Of course she'll be excited."

On the passing of Sister Rehab el Buri

Sister Rehab El Buri was a former ABC News staffer. On March 6th 2011 Sister Rehab El Buri died of cancer at the age of 25. Rehab, an Islamic activist, was loved by all those who knew her and a cause of inspiration for those who didn't. We would like to share some of Rehab's own reflections, on her trials, taken from her blog. We ask Allah to shower his mercy on Rehab, and enter her into the company of our beloved Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).

We leave you with Rehab's words:

    The horrifying video above, showing Muslims arriving at a community charity event in Orange County, U.S.A., being mercilessly heckled and harassed by protesters, has been making its rounds on the Internet. Many people, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, have reacted to this video emotionally. Many of the comments I've read have been in the vein of [...]

    Sunday mornings would usually find me still tucked in bed at the hours of 8am. But last Sunday 27th February 2011, I was a changed person. Not only had I showered but I had ironed my clothes and gotten ready by 7am. There was one reason and one reason only: I had signed up for [...]

Inspiring stories from Project Syukran.

Did you Thank Allah for Your Eyesight?

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."

What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

"It is He, Who has created for you (the sense of) hearing (ears), sight (eyes), and hearts (understanding). Little thanks you give." [surah Al-Mu'minun; 78]

Recently we started this group in Facebook to reignite a past project that never got started. This project is just about sharing our gratitude towards Allah swt.

So with the recent changes in Facebook technology, we realised the group functions to allow the community to share commentaries, photos and videos is quite amazing.

Hence we restarted this project. Do visit www.projectsyukran.com. Please request to be added to the group.

We may share inspiring Syukran stories here from week to week. Insyallah.
