Whispers of the Soul by Nadia Nizam

 When a mother is running late in the morning, you can be sure that she has already had a full day. Murphy's Law applies: if something can go wrong, it will. And it's safe to assume that things have been going wrong since the moment she opened her eyes. If a mother's house is messy, just assume that she is constantly picking up after her beautiful little tornadoes who follow behind her, scattering things about. And as soon as she cleans up the milk someone spilled, another child runs off with the jelly, leaving behind stickiness that seems to last for days. If her sink is full of dishes, assume that most of them accumulated just this morning (even when it's not the case). Because, of course, the kids didn't like the first few things they begged for, so she's left with a sink full of dishes by breakfast. If the laundry covers the floor, I bet it has already been washed and maybe even folded. Folded laundry, if you don't know this yet, is more valuable than an...

 I understand how difficult it can be when a relationship ends, whether it was on good terms or not. It can feel strange and painful to have someone who was once a significant part of your life suddenly no longer be there. It's natural to have mixed emotions and to still feel hurt over what happened. Memories of the time you spent together can be hard to let go of, and it's understandable to wish you could forget them. However, instead of trying to erase those memories, it might be helpful to focus on what you gained from the relationship. Perhaps you went through challenging times together, understood each other deeply, or helped each other grow and embrace your true selves. Maybe the relationship showed you what you truly need in your life. It's important to acknowledge that the person meant a lot to you and that it's okay if they still do, even if they're no longer in your life. Not every relationship is meant to last a lifetime, and it's okay to accept that....

 My Mom once told me that she walked into a room where a couple of friends were discussing her, they didn’t know she was there. She shook her head, smiled and walked away.  My Mom also told me that she had a friend who talked bad about her, she never knew that Mom found out, Mom never mentioned it. She smiled and walked away from this friendship.  She told me she had family who chose to shift her out of their life because she stood up for herself for a change. And because she stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even help her cross a bridge. She smiled, shook her head and walked away.  So I asked her how she could just walk away from people that betrayed her while pretending to be her friends or family?  She answered that every time she came to a crossroad like that, she had to decide who will be going forward on her journey with her. This showed her who she cannot take along with her.  So she explained to me that you should never get mad at...

"Chase your dreams, not people! Here are ten realizations that we must learn to embrace: 1. As you grow older, you become selective about the people you allow into your life. It's important not to waste your energy on trying to connect with someone if it won't lead to a meaningful relationship. 2. You cannot control what people say about you. It is not your responsibility to change their opinions. Instead, focus on doing what you do best, as long as it doesn't harm anyone. There's no need to explain yourself unnecessarily. 3. You don't need a large number of friends in your life. What matters is having a few genuine friends who respect and value you. It is okay to distance yourself from people who don't treat you with respect. 4. Remember that you are a work in progress, so be kind to yourself. Embrace the fact that you cannot please everyone, and focus on continuous learning and personal growth. 5. Kindness is a powerful virtue. If you have nothing positiv...

 In shadows deep, where whispers dwell, The tales they weave, behind the veil, People will talk, their words they spin, But fear not, friend, let the game begin. For in their chatter, a chance is found, To shape their thoughts, to turn them 'round, Give them a topic, intriguing, rare, A tale so captivating, they cannot help but stare. Let your life be a canvas, bold and bright, A masterpiece of wonder, a shining light, Paint with colors of adventure and grace, And watch as their whispers pick up the pace. They'll gather 'round, hungry for more, Eager to share the stories they adore, Give them a topic, like a flickering flame, And watch as their words ignite, aflame. So let them talk, let them speculate, As you dance through life, with steps innate, Give them a story they cannot resist, And in their gossip, your power persists. For people will always talk, my dear, But you hold the key, without fear, Give them an interesting topic to explore, And let them marvel at your enig...

 Allah will test you in 3 ways I. Allah will give you what you want immediately and test your "GRATITUDE" 2. Allah will give you what you want with a little delay and tests your "PATIENCE" 3. Allah doesn't give you what you want & tests your "FAITH"

 After eight years of marriage, today I have made a significant decision. I have come to realize that it is my responsibility to fight for myself and my daughters. If I remain silent, people will start talking about my daughters in the same way they talk about me and other girls. Although my mother used to say that silence is the best way to fight back, I have spent eight years following that advice and have come to the conclusion that it is not true. Silence only enables others to freely express whatever they want. Fortunately, I have the best in-laws and a highly understanding and confident husband who always encourages me to listen to my heart rather than society's expectations, including those of our families. I am grateful to have been blessed with such wonderful in-laws and to have never encountered any family issues. However, from the beginning, our social circle has been concerned about our married life and family system. Despite eight years passing, they have been unable t...

  My Dearest Husband, As I sit down to write this letter to you, my heart is filled with love, gratitude, and a deep desire to express the importance of sincere respect, understanding, truthfulness, and trust in our relationship. Over the years, we have built a beautiful life together, and I believe that nurturing these qualities is essential for our continued happiness and growth as a couple. First and foremost, I want to emphasize the significance of sincere respect. It is the cornerstone of a healthy and strong relationship. When we treat each other with respect, we acknowledge each other's worth, opinions, and feelings. It means valuing your perspective and being mindful of my words and actions towards you. By cultivating respect in our interactions, we create a safe and nurturing environment where both of us can flourish and be our authentic selves. Sincere respect is not just about treating each other with politeness or courtesy. It goes beyond surface-level interactions and...

 (6:118) If you believe in the signs of Allah, eat the flesh of that over which Allah's name has been pronounced. (6:119) And why do you not eat of that over which Allah's name has been pronounced, while He has clearly explained to you what He has forbidden, unless you are compelled [to eat it]? Many people mislead others without knowledge, following their own desires. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of the transgressors. (6:120) Avoid both open and hidden sins. Indeed, those who commit sins will be recompensed for what they used to do. (6:121) Do not eat from that [animal] upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned when it was slaughtered, for indeed, it is a grave disobedience. And indeed do the devils inspire their allies [among men] to dispute with you. And if you were to obey them, indeed, you would be associators [of others with Him]. These quotes are from Surah Al-An'am, verses 118-121 of the Quran. These verses contain instructions regarding the consumpti...
