The Power Of Positive Thinking

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Donald Trump’s books such as Think Big And Kick Ass placed strong emphasis on positive thinking. If you flip through the pages, he’s merely echoing what Islam has taught us. On the contrary, in this article, the author presents the ”positive vs negative” discussion from a spiritual point of view. Look our for “peace slayers” or attributes which can ruin your inner peace and how to rectify them. Definitely a much needed reminder for me. Hope it brings some benefit to you as well! May Allah fill our lives with positivity in this very much negative world.

Look At My Own Faults Instead Of Others

Masyaallah, I can never get enough of Habib Ali. May Allah protect and preserve our scholars.

December holidays are coming to a close. Some went to Korea (not sure north or south), New Zealand, Japan, Langkawi and many other places. I hope you guys returned home feeling fresher and ready to take on 2012! I’m sure you’ve heard of this word; it’s everywhere! Resolutions. Yes, what are yours? Do you even set them?

Ramadhan Reflections

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

الحمدللهربالعلمين

Ramadhan graced and left just as quickly. It felt as if it was just last week that I went to Abg Samad’s house to welcome the Imam Huffaz. I remembered we had steaks and then sat in the living room to pass the SIM cards to them. It was the first of the blessed nights to come. What better way to welcome Ramadhan than to catch up with old friends and bask in their knowledge and blessings.

The next few nights were spent with them as I helped them out with daily chores and what nots. After solat Teraweeh, we’d go back to the “container” to have supper. As the days passed by, we had more supper outside with the jemaah, some of them whom I had known and deeply respected.  We also did something different this year and recorded a few songs semi-professionally. It was all well done and I’m glad we were able to have it for keeps.
