EXPERIMENTING WITH CHANGE( EPISODE 2)


 Continuation of the experimenting with change through the Quran series.



As you remember from the blog Experimenting with Change, I started Quran memorization as a way of changing some of my bad habits, shedding off most of my emotional anguish due to my sins and generally seeking a sustainable, noble way of living my day to day life. After researching and implementing different methods, reading and memorizing the Quran is the only option that ticked every box and kept me in check. Like a rein, it would stop me from sinning and like a gentle breeze of wind, it would delight me. It would reassure me like a caring friend it is, it would light up my path like the full moon and it would change my ambitions from the lowly to the high. It's been 3 weeks of implementing this change and it feels like a lifetime because it's become my habit now which I am grateful for, Alhamdulillah. 


To anyone struggling, needing a confidant, seeking guidance, seeking to change his/her bad habits, want to implement concrete changes in their lives, wants to shed off the emotional baggage of today's world, nothing is more fulfilling and rewarding than the Quran. Highly ambitions in  my opinion start with the Words of Allah and it's pursuit to learn , memorize and implement it in our daily lives.  The Quran has become my way of relaxing after a long day, my bedtime routine as I end the night by reading it. I am in the process of establishing a morning routine where I pray tahajud, The 2 Sunnah rakats before Fajr and praying Fajr itself then reciting the morning Adkhar and then the Quran. So far , it’s been a hit or miss routine where some days I’ll be able to do that and some days I’ll find myself waking late for Fajr . This is something i am in the process of changing In shaa Allah. 

My only advice is that , before you do anything in life be it wanting to change your life , do a course, get a job , always make a sincere intention as every action and deed starts with an intention. A sincere intention for the sake of Allah is enough to change your life in ways you never imagined. That’s my only advice and I ask Allah to always make us sincere in his worship , have sincere intentions and make us a model for the generations to come. Ameen

The Quran memorization has inspired me to start an Islamic Essentials Certificate Program that has over 40+ Courses which is a self-paced online program In Shaa Allah. Below are some of the courses in this program;
  1. Introduction to the Quran ( an introductory course providing an overview of the Quranic Sciences( Ulum- al- Quran)
  2. Riyad al-Salihin ( An Inspiring course covering select chapters of the famous Hadith text Riyad al- Salihin)
  3. Sunan Abi Dawud ( A study of the Book of Knowledge from Imam Abu Dawud's compilation)
  4. Names of Allah ( A unique online course covering the Names of Allah with their meaning and how to best supplicate with them
And many more!!

The Quran Inspires action and thirst for knowledge like no other self- help book out there. It's unique in it's motivation as it clearly and directly speaks to you. What are you waiting for? Take the most interesting, noble chapter of your life by making the Quran your Friend and implement it in your daily life. It all starts with a sincere intention and prayer and action to start this journey. May Allah make it easy for all Muslims to make the Quran part of our daily lives, Ameen

Knocking On Al-Fatah's Doors (The Opener)

The moment I came across the following series which go into depth the nam es of Allah, my life changed for the better. Not only did I grow more intimate towards my Lord, but the amount of joy and sweetness I got out of it is  unexplainable.  https://www.islam21c.com/theology/one-god-many-names-al-fattah-the-opener/ . I urge all my readers to go and read the above article and then the series as one of the names that I want to talk about today is Al-Fatah(The opener) and the reasons why I want to share how it changed my life.  I have been dealing with a mental block for almost 3 years now and although I do not want to complain to other than Allah, I'll try and paint a picture for my audience to understand. I would set my mind to do something like reading a book and I would read it for a couple of pages and then boom, I would put it aside. I would start to feel this immense shadow of tiredness and feelings of procrastination and would therefore stop there. I didn't understand why

What Blue Line? ( Part 1)

 Sergeant Paddy is notoriously known for his anger issuess coupled with his ego on top of a racist and supremecist attitude. Many people do not know that he also deals in drugs and has significant ties to the human trafficking business in his city and state. Buckle up and expect to be filled with rage as this is a story about the dark side of human nature and the power of corruption. Under a bridge on a late afternoon sits Sergeant Paddy and his lapdog Officer Shamrock drinking his coffee while the other smokes a cigarette. This was the spot chosen earlier that day to inspect a load of 'meat' ( a term to describe the women and children trafficked). You would be asking yourself how can such an abhorrent crime be happening in broadlight but don't forget that this man is the head of a unit which by now can be described as a cartel with badges. The city was awash with drugs, crime was skyrocketing and the streets were filled with addicts.  The head of the Police department,a wo

What Blue Line ( The Witch)

  This is the story of the woman who was just known as the 'Witch' instead of her name Gabriella, the head of the Police Department of the City of Hagora. A city once celebrated for innovation and technology now harbors a sinister secret.  Let me describe to you the character of this woman by the nickname The Witch. She has no feminine qualities you would typically find in women nor does she have any masculine qualities. She’s in a state of limbo , always in doubt of herself as she knows what she is involved in is wrong . No amount of makeup can hide the ugliness of her soul projected on her face. She has no sincere bone in her body and even her children are repulsed by her character. She is double faced in her dealings with the residents of her city she polices. She is a master of deception,playing a double game with the unsuspecting residents she's meant to protect. She is involved in dark magic and uses it against people that she doesn’t like. She has access to their DNA
