Be a blessing
As salaam alaikum Reader,
I pray this message finds you and yours well.
Today I was thinking about a dear friend of mine who died just a few years ago right before the pandemic began. We used to go for walks and joke about getting into shape so we could be old and cute when our children were grown. She was the type of person who always had a smile on her face, jokes and stories to tell, and just a fun person to be around. We didn't see eachother often in recent years, as we were both busy with children and all that that entails, but we messaged on WhatsAPp now and again and there was always love and good will between us.
Jenielle was about 5 years younger than me, and one day while at the library I got the news that she died.
I was shocked.
I am still shocked. She was only about 35 years old.
I think about her from time to time. I wonder how her young children are doing. I pray the little one who was only about 5 will remember her mother. I think about hugging her children and crying after I heard the news. I think about the look on her husbands face, a widow with 3 young children to raise on his own. Whenever I think about her, I pray for her. I pray that our friendship can be a blessing to her. Perhaps my prayers for her may be a light for her in her resting place. Perhaps they are a means by which Allah brings her some bit of goodness.
So I am reminding myself and you today to be a blessing in someones life, and even after their life.
What a gift it is to be the person through whom Allah brings some kindness, coolness, ease, and mercy into another persons life, both in this world and the next. What a blessing to be a blessing, and we all have that capability.
With love
Makeda

As salaam alaikum Reader, It’s been a while and I pray you are well. Ive been reflecting on my own life and having conversations with friends and clients and I’ve concluded the following, or been reminded of this conclusion I myself conveniently forget. In this time I believe that tahhajud is not ‘optional’. It’s not fardh… we know that. At the same time if we truly understand the battle for the hearts, souls and minds of ourselves and our children happening from every direction … we will...
As salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. SubhanAllah, I've not written in quite some time and my intention is to get back into it.
