Good Times

Hi there.

I have some news-in the past month I have been away a few things have happened.

I signed up to Volunteering in Malawi (in Africa) and I have been fundraising by selling sweets and organising Iftar events! Alhamdulilah so far I am happy with the progress and I feel motivated to do more. The plan is, InshaAllah to visit Malawi in August for a week before then I am to raise 2.5k for the School, the registration fee I pay will cover my flights, accommodation and meals. So alhamdulilah!

That is something I never thought I'd be able to say, that ME, I am going to volunteer abroad. And for me, it's not just a one trip and then a tick for my bucket list. No I genuinely want to be actively involved in projects abroad and I plan to InshaAllah do the ICS three month abroad programme to be a part of those projects.

I have also have been involved in numerous projects like with an online magazine, fundraising challenges and I am also looking into doing some spoken word poetry. And, possibly I may be doing treks on a regular basis (I may be recruited). So there's alot going on and alhamdulilah I am unbelievably grateful! As I know it's all due to Allah's blessings. However I do realise I am falling short in my obedience to Him.

When I think back to this time last year, I was lost, confused and unable to think properly. I was grieving and I think I wasn't doing great. I can't believe how much my life has changed, it's all gone so quickly.

But I am thankful for all the experiences and all the things I have learnt along the way. I have truly met some beautiful people in this journey of mine.

One thing this journey has given me that is invaluable is the ability to believe in myself and my abilities and to never ever stop dreaming. It's definitely hard to keep dreaming when things go wrong but when good times come, it's important to remember those times to keep you going through the bad.

The most important daily habit

 Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,  After a very long time I came across my blog once again and I decided I wanted to write something that I hope will benefit you inshaAllah.   I have found memorizing quran to be something I consistently struggle with mainly keeping a habit of it. Here are some tips I have found that helped me to make progress in my memorisation.   1. Think about the importance of the Quran, we know as muslims it is divine guidance so why would we not want to read and memorise it? The more we memorise the more we can use in our salah which should also help with our khushoo too inshaAllah.  This particularly helps if you are falling short of doing it daily, I know I have slacked and completely stopped memorizing for a while but when I really think about how important it is I make it a priority to do it.  2. Set a daily timer for it, build up to 30mins maybe start with 10mins the point is to be consistent as we know the consistent actions are the most beloved

Running to the Docks

So last week I went to the royal docks- well that's pretty ordinary, no idea why you decided to mention it as a post Well guys, I ran there. I knew the course roughly via barking road until you need to turn towards Newham University Hospital, from there its straight until you get to Prince Regent DLR and then a right and about 10minutes will you get you to Royal Victoria DLR. It's a simple route, but I did get lost at the T-junction towards Custom House or Eastham, luckily I had my phone on hand to guide me.  The route was easy enough, I have ran to Plaistow a couple of times, so that was familiar, from then, it was touch and go. However with such a long route you do need pitstops. My pitstop was Newham University Hospital, they have a toilet and a prayer room, what more could you ask for? Plus it was Sunday, so it was practically empty!But other pitstops could be Westfield, from Plaistow you just follow it round, but that would be a detour from the route so I found
