It’s been a while since I last posted anything here. Life has taken over as usual and despite my best intentions, I haven’t had the chance to log any of my thoughts recently. To be fair, Ramadan priorities were always going to take precedence and it is a month of extra effort in ibadah (worship)Continue reading “Ramadan 1446/2025”

Nature, Nature Everywhere
Withouth doubt, it is the simplest of things in life that give me the greatest pleasure. Added to that, I love things ad hoc. Spontaneous decisions are the spice of life. Who wants to wake up every day knowing exactly what they’re going to do and when? That kind of predictability is actually so uninspiring.Continue reading “Nature, Nature Everywhere”
Feeling Unstuck
It’s been eight years since I had to restart life on my own with my sons. Unsurprisingly, the first couple of years (especially) were the hardest for obvious reasons. However, these days I feel that dark episode of my life is a distant memory, Alhamdulillah. I can confidently say that I am living my bestContinue reading “Feeling Unstuck”

During this cold season, I succumbed to sickness, which for me is quite unusual, Alhamdulillah. It’s beenContinue reading “Welcoming in Spring”
The Hypnosis of Iceland
Today’s submission to my personal blog site is a reflection on my short trip to Iceland with my niece and from which I have returned. Alhamdulillah, it was the perfect precursor to a new job which I am due to start tomorrow. Admittedly, I was a little anxious before going away given the financial strainContinue reading “The Hypnosis of Iceland”
Walks and Worship
This Ramadan, as I try to learn more about my relationship with Allah, so I find that I am learning more about myself. I have tried to make this not a month of rituals only and of no substance, that is, I want to internalise and reflect on words I hear or read about AllahContinue reading “Walks and Worship”
The Best Things in Life are Three..
Who would deny that the simplest things in life are the best? We spend the better part of our lives vying for this and that, be it a job, a house, a car and a myriad of other material things. Age does give the benefit of hindsight and a wisdom that cannot be gained fromContinue reading “The Best Things in Life are Three..”
