Ramadan Day 2- Hadeeth #1

Hello Dreamers!

First of all, Ramadan Mubarak! I hope fasting has not been hard these past two days for those of you who are fasting. Let's just keep thinking of the reward that we will get in sha Allah for staying patient for 16 hours everyday. 

Something else I wanted to mention: THIS IS THE 10TH POST!!! YAAAAYYY!! So because this is the 10th post, I'm going to celebrate by posting the first hadeeth of Ramadan. :) Ready?

The Prophet PBUH said, "Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven." -Sahih al-Bukhari

This is definitely a hadeeth that we should all keep on our minds during this holy month whenever we feel like we just can't get through the day. There are days in Ramadan when it is so easy to fast and other days when we just don't think we can wait a few more hours. Just think that Allah wouldn't have given you this job you have to do if he knew you couldn't do it. Allah knows we all have the patience in us to keep up with Ramadan, even if we live in a country where people don't fast when we do or if we don't hear the call for prayer out loud and instead we have to look at a calender to know when it is time to eat. Yes, we might have to go to work where everyone else is eating and we have to refuse to eat. And it may be difficult. But just think that this isn't going for nothing but instead you are being forgiven for your sins and you are doing what's right.

May Allah bless us all this month and accept our fasts. 

Happy Dreaming :)

I wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here -Breakaway No, I'm not one of those people who post song lyrics to explain every moments of their lives, but this is my first post, and I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway as I try to put my words down on here. I just felt like those two lines really relate to what I am about to talk about. Me. Since you and I are both new here, I thought I'd introduce myself, give you a reason to keep reading my blog, and give you a reason to believe that I really hope you find a friend in me. Here's my story: I am a writer. I love writing. I believe words run through my veins with my blood, dialogue is constantly on play in my head, and I could speak in metaphors all day if I wanted to. Really, try me. ;) Point is, I am a very figurative yet literal person. And when my life was forced to change, I used writing to help me get through it. After my sophomore in high school, I moved away from the Middle East (whe...

Metaphors and Medicine (Year I): Chapter 2

There's a story behind everything in medicine. In the first few weeks of school, I was walking to the children's hospital connected to my school with a friend as we adventured to the cafeteria in search of additional doses of caffeine to fuel our long biochemistry study session. As we walked, I complained about how challenging this test was going to be, how hard studying was, how challenging this adjustment has been, etc, etc, etc. Meanwhile, we got onto the elevator and joined what seemed like a child and his mother and grandmother. "Where to?" she asked. "Lower level, please, thanks," I said. She nodded and clicked the LL button. She had her hands tenderly around the little boy's shoulders. I resumed speaking to my friend about how worth it I hope it'll be later. The family remained quiet and the elevator stopped, opening its doors to the level that was their stop. As they were leaving, I looked up at the mother, her eyes appeared red and ...

What does it really mean to be American?

Hmm, got you thinking there, didn't I? Just yesterday, I had a discussion with a few friends about this question. We had to think about it for a few minutes to. What does it really mean to be American? Do you have to be born here to be American? Do you have to have an American passport? Are you still American if you've lived in America your whole life but you aren't a citizen? What if you're like me, lived in two different countries during your lifetime and have a different nationality? Does the fact that I'm an American citizen and a Palestinian citizen make me Palestinian or American? Here's what I said: I think that as long as you can refer to America as your home, no matter who you are or where your family is from, you're still an American.  And this doesn't just concern America. If a person is American but has lived in Germany or France during their life, and they can somehow refer to that place as home, then that makes them German or Fren...
