I Believe

I Believe

A birth certificate shows that we were born; a death certificate shows that we died; pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat. Relax and read this slowly.

I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe - Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

When you thought I wasn't looking...

When you thought I wasn't looking...
A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you reading Salaah with sincerity, and I knew that there is Allah (swt) I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a relative who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing, and I learned that those who have something should always give to those who don't.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be to make you proud.

When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and wanted to say, 'Jazakallah' for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.'
This is a tribute to everyone I know WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS, but think that no one ever sees.
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT...

This is a tribute to each of us - dad, mom, brother, sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend - the influences the life of a child
How will you touch the life of someone today?

Jummah Mubarak


"The strong man is one who controls his Anger"


The Almighty is closest to his creation during the last phase of the night. Remember Him during this period.

Every prayer must be performed as if its one's last prayer in this world.

May ALLAH give us the strength on this day,
May ALLAH forgive us for all our sins on this day,
May ALLAH protect us from evil on this day,
May ALLAH give us health on this day,
May ALLAH keep us safe so that we may reach our destination,
May ALLAH accept all our DUA'As on this day,
AND LASTLY
Let us make SHUKR to ALLAH for everything he has done for us.

Jummah Mubarak!

That's Life
