It never fails to inspire me, remind me how blessed Ramadan really is for us and take me back to why we fast and what we should be doing during this special month: Baihaqi […]

I have been yearning for a holiday, a break or an opportunity to travel for some time now but have not had the money or opportunity. Instead I have been coming to terms with where my life is right now. I am no longer 21, although I have always felt about 17 in my head. […]
It has been seven days since Ramadan started, a week of the holy month gone by so very quickly alhamdulillah. After failing to wake for suhoor on the firsts day and spending the day with a debilitating headache, the rest of the days have gone by fairly comfortably. Our sleep is broken, our diets are […]
These are the two bags I use, the smaller one I bought a few months ago from River Island to use when I am on the go. I don’t like to have big hefty bags over my shoulder as I end up with a numb arm very quickly. So this little cross-body bag was handy […]
Today I am done. It’s not even 10am and I have argued, cried and pushed myself as far as I can go. I woke and was so tired to the bone that I could barely move, it took about half an hour to stop feeling like I was going to drop. I had to go […]
I while back Brother Abu Sinan re-started his blog. Previously he had shut it down just around the time I discovered it. I vaguely recall him saying that blogging was taking up too much of his time and that he was giving it up to dedicate more of his time to his family (apologies brother […]

I was born and grew up in this city and unlike all of those that complain about England having gone to the dogs, I love living in this city. London must be one of the easiest cities in the world to be a Muslim in, or whichever faith you choose to follow. I feel comfortable […]
