Home

Once in a while, it is really nice to come home to:
  • wonderfully happy kids who are excited to see me
  • a calm husband who greets me with a smile from his favorite spot
  • the aroma of hot dinner waiting for me
  • the clean kitchen with no dirty dishes
  • the tidy house with mopped floors
  • the freshly dry laundry

And I do appreciate it

ALHAMDULILLAH

Things are a lot better when we all work together

I Could Not Ask for More

Lying here with you, listening to the rain
Smiling just to see a smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes, seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for and I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I couldn't ask for more that this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come through
Yeah, right here in this moment, is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you, here with me

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than the love you gave me
Cauze it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

In the Name of LOVE

Thank you, Allah, for blessing me with the capabilities of taking care of myself and my children. I am grateful for the gift of will and determination to put up with a lot of discouraging and oppressive elements in life.

Alhamdulillah, there is still some compassion in my beaten mind, body, and soul to do people favors - out of sympathy and not love - even when they truly do not deserve them. The tortured souls are those that are forever miserably unhappy regardless of how bountiful they are provided for and cared for despite their own lack of effort, gratitude, and common reciprocity. Allah is The Just and I believe in it.

I am thankful to Allah for the wonderfully indescribable something called LOVE that has filled my heart and my children's hearts.. the beautiful feeling of greatness that fires up the will and determination to go through difficulties and to put up with hardships.

May Allah continue to bless and love us. Amin!
ALHAMDULILLAH
