In the pursuit of knowledge

Assalam alaykum waramatullah wabarakatuhu, I hope this post meets you in the best of eeman and health. Alhamdulilah the snow has given way to the wind and a little bit of sunshine. Everyone was excited for the start of 2013 yet tomorrow heralds the beginning of February. Some have found that it is not easy keeping to their new year’s resolution. Others have been successful in achieving the goals they set out for themselves. How wonderful is Allah (Subhanahu watahala), His knowledge encompasses everything.

Salam alaykum, Time goes so swiftly and I can hardly believe it has been a year since I last blogged. A year full of fun, happiness and huge changes. Alhamdulilah I am now a doctor (of Philosophy) and a married woman. I pray Allah puts barakah in my and your affairs. Through all the changes the year brought I learnt an important lesson: 1) Put your trust in Allah 2) Have people around you that remind you to put your trust in Allah 3) Have people who encourage you in all you do (so far it is not in the disobedience of your Lord). Inshaallah I will strengthen my effort to maintain this blog. I hope you like the little changes that I have introduced. I pray the year to come brings more joy and happiness and whatever trials await us we are patient with the qadr of Allah (subhanallah wa tahala). O you who believe! Seek assistance through patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient. (Al Quran 2:153)
