Bro😭 I will never forget the first day I wore jilbaab to school. It was a long black one piece jilbaab, and I went to a uniform school so I STOOD out 😭 We had presentations in English class and after I was done presenting, the class clapped and started chanting “Batman, Batman”
A friend once told me “you never hear about planes landing safely, but you always hear news about the crashes”. For every horror story, there is hundreds of love stories 🤍
Just a gentle reminder:
Qays ibn Sa’d reported: A funeral passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he stood up.
It was said to him, “It is a Jew.”
The Prophet said, “Was he not a soul?”

Being around young children is so GOOD for your soul. They start admiring you and looking up to you and all the sudden you wanna change ur life for the better 😭❤️
Ya Allah, make me better than what they think of me, and forgive me for what they do not know about me, and do not take me to account for what they say about me 🙏🏾
For so many of us, this could really be our LAST Ramadan. We are not guaranteed to live for another year. May Allah take our souls when He is most pleased with us!!!
I was making a huge afuur one Ramadan and I was so nervous that my food wasn’t going to come out tasting nice. My sis gave me some great advice and it stuck with me until today. She said “keep saying your athkaar while cooking and Allah will aid you” and the food came out amazing
The 10 best days are coming up!!! It’s time to tighten our laces and increase in our worship in sha Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” [Bukhari]
One of my favourite Sunnahs is to stand in the rain 🌧️🤍
Anas said: A shower of rain fell when we were with the Prophet ﷺ, so he removed his garment till some of the rain fell on him. We asked him why he did this, and he replied, “Because it has recently been with its Lord."
May Allah have mercy on Mohamed, he was such a kind soul wallahi. May Allah widen his grave and give his family and loved ones ease 🙏🏾 My heart just hurts so much, this dunya is cursed
It’s so funny to me that financial freedom and early retirement is a thing now 😭 I told a group of people once that I’m going to retire in 10 years, at the time I was 22. They all laughed and said “how?”, I said “I’m not sure how but I’m going to make it happen in sha Allah”.
My friend in Somalia is genuinely concerned at why I am not married at 24 😭😭 idk how to explain to her that it’s fine here, she literally said I’m gonna pay a sheikh to read Quran for you cuz this is not normal 😭🤣
Alhamdulilah it is so relieving to make the connection between happiness and worship. So now whenever you feel down, you know that you’re lacking somewhere spiritually and you can find the remedy.
Idk if it was the Somali in me but growing up I believed in my heart and soul that you have to add sugar to powdered juice mix 😭 only to find out in my highschool cooking class I was dead wrong. The way the teacher looked at my group when she drank our juice, and saw diabetes 😭
I went to buy food from a Somali restaurant today and they asked me if I lived here, I said nah I’m going home tomorrow. The person working at the counter said “ I wish I knew you were leaving, I would have given you something for my sister that lives there” 😭😭
Wallahi sinning is one thing but having issues with aqeedah and with your eeman is so scary. Always make dua that Allah keeps our hearts upon the guidance 😢❤️
I want to start my own job centre in Xamar, helping business owners get connected with candidates. Also, helping the general public to develop their professional skills like interview/resume/presentation skills. In sha Allah 🙏🏾
A few years ago during Ramadan I was working at the airport doing manual labour, this Ramadan I’m working from the comfort of my own home at an amazing job in my field. Allah can change your situation in ways that you would never imagine. Truly grateful alhamdulilah 🖤🥺
I don’t want to sound dramatic but one of the hardest things I did this year was stop attending birthdays 😭 I stopped celebrating my own birthday years ago but would still attend my close friends.
Attempting to touch the black stone at the Kāba will have you crowd surfing as you try to leave 😭 I’ve seen grown men get lifted and tossed like nothing
The more you travel to different countries and experience different cultures you come to realize western ideology sucks. We’re just conditioned to believe it’s the way the world should work.
Anyone who truly knows me, knows I love chaotic energy idk if it’s the Somali in me but one of my favourite nights is the 27th night of Ramadan at the masjid cuz it’s on and poppinnn that night 😭
I was 16 years old when I first lost a childhood friend to gun violence. Being taught the lesson of death so young really changes your perspective on the world. I pray for everyone who’s ever went through this, grief is not an easy process.
Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Do not insult the dead, because they have attained the fruits of their deeds."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari]
I envision so badly where I want to be spiritually and I can see myself there. May Allah make it easy for us to leave our bad habits and grow closer to Him in good.
