"Allah Does Not Burden Us With More Than We Can Bear".

Quran 2:286

"Our Lord, do not impose upon us, that which we do not have the strength to bear". 

Another favourite verse of mine. And MashaAllah the first verse that rang true in my heart and warmed me to Islam. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala knows us, better than we know ourselves. You can handle this hardship, else you would not have been put through it. Subhanallah!

A Popular Image - InshaAllah I Will Paint This One Day!

Allah

Subhanahu wa Ta'ala

Al-Basir (The Seer of All)

Without doubt this is one of my favourite images - I see it all over Instagram and Tumblr. InshaAllah I would love to paint a piece inspired by this image. Does anyone know who created it? It's so simple, but pure and perfect - just like Islam!

Religion in a Nutshell - A Truly Amazing Quote by Carl Sagan

"We contemplate our origins like stardust pondering the stars" - Carl Sagan.

What a truly beautiful, magical quote! We question how and why we're here as though the answers haven't already been written. They are written. In the books of Religion. Yes, I reverted to Islam, because for me, it's writings, explanations and teaching are so pure (MashaAllah). We're here because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala placed us here. There is no compulsion in religion, but He asked us to pray to Him, to follow Him to gain entry into the next life. For me, nothing else made sense. We ask why O why are we here? And I found the answers in the Quran. 

I totally appreciate science, but for me, there is no denying that we were placed here by God. 

Although Carl Sagan was a Scientist (and from what I read, didn't really agree with religion as such, I feel this quote sums up all religion perfectly! 

What do you think?

"And He Found you lost"...in New York City?

Here's my favourite verse from the Quran again! "And He found you lost, and guided you". The quote I made looks pretty cool with the New York backdrop...and nooo unfortunately we don't live in the Big City, or America for that matter. We're in little old Birmingham in the UK. We have this huge New York City poster on the wall of our Apartment though...we can all but dream!

Where's your dream city?

Happy Halloween - From A Revert's Point of View!

Happy Halloween!

October the 31st has always been my favourite day of the year! There's something so exciting yet peaceful about it. Last Halloween I wasn't Muslim. However, now that I am, I've found myself questioning whether or not I should still celebrate Halloween, due to its dark nature. That said, on Halloween Devils and Ghosts and all other evil creatures are said to be allowed to walk the Earth tonight to do us harm. We dress up to disguise ourselves as one of them and stay safe. I absolutely love that - to me that is nothing but positive. And so long as Halloween's origin stays the same, I will continue to love it as I do!

EDIT: After publishing this post on Halloween I received quite a few messages from Muslims who were unhappy that I was 'encouraging its celebration'. I have to say, some of the responses I received were fairly rude and took my post way out of context. Apparently I was encouraging the worship of Devils. I'm sure the vast majority of readers could appreciate I was suggesting no such thing and it saddens me that people can't offer opinions freely without being accused of the Ridiculous.

I never said Islam accepted Halloween, and nor do I think for one second that Islam should accept Halloween! I chose to follow Islam due to the true beauty of it's Pure message. I think, other Muslims could learn to appreciate that Muslim Reverts were raised from birth with (usually) very different values and customs. I only reverted 6 months ago, and although I absolutely know my Right from Wrong, some things (such as Halloween) will naturally hold a special place in my heart for reasons you may not understand. Involving myself in Halloween celebrations may well be against Islam, but why is it that people seem to almost enjoy persecuting me for the things I should NOT be doing, rather than offering guidance in a kind and positive way. Also, if or when I see another Muslim doing something un-Islamic, I turn and ask myself what I could be doing better before I open my mouth.

#JustSaying!

This is one of the reasons I am working on The Revert Project - I'm writing a book to provide Muslim Reverts with a voice! Insha'Allah!

Have a beautiful day all!
