The morning has come to me, and the whole universe belongs to Allah. I ask Allah for the good of the day, its  aid, its success its blessings and its nur.  And I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of the day, from the evil of that which He has created, and from the evil of that which is to come later.  PS: Allah means God.        Nur means light  I say the above prayer as I get out of bed. I perform ablution and offer my prayers for a new day has come to me. Many are there that wish to have the words "Its a new day" on their lips this morning, but the Mighty One (God) didn't give them such privilege. So with gratitude in my heart I say quietly to myself: "It's a new day". It's a new day, so I left yesterday's worries yesterday. It's a new day so I left yesterday's grudges yesterday. It's a new day so I left yesterday's anger, hate and pain yesterday. It's a new day so I left every troubling thought yesterday. ...

When you saw the title of this post, did scenarios of betrayal come to your mind? Well scenarios of betrayal came to my mind because I've been betrayed quite a number of times. Don't worry, I'll tell you about a few of them. Once I was acting all calm and reserved. I didn't want to make it known that I was in dire need of food. In that moment did my stomach decide to growl. It made noise so loud that my hunger was made known to those that were present. I felt betrayed. How could it? How could my stomach betray me like that?? Another time, I was asked if I had gotten medication for catarrh. I replied: "no, I'm fine now". You guessed right. My body chose that moment to let out a sneeze. This is a few among the other times I've been betrayed. The dictionary seems to have several definitions of betrayal. But I like to see betrayal as more of deceit and deliberate  disloyalty. Betrayal involves breaking of trust. You know, a person once said "...

Guide, conduct, pass on knowledge, educate, instruct - these are words you'll find associated with teachers. Who is a teacher?         A teacher isn't necessarily the one in a classroom, with a cane in his hand telling you to solve problems in maths, with you going like.. "Sir, how does this equation help my life???".      A teacher is one that educates you. Guides you and gives you instructions that helps grow your knowledge in a particular field. While a teacher could be a friend, a parent, a relative or a random person on the street - all that's needed for a person to qualify as a teacher is that he passes on knowledge. Our focus today, is the classroom teacher. Classroom teachers are as beautiful as every other teacher . Maybe even more beautiful. Classroom teachers are professional personnel who work with students as a whole. Whether in a classroom, in small groups or one-on-one meeting inside or outside a regular classroom. AMAZING FA...

"It's just me, myself and I". This was my status on one of my social media accounts some years back. This saying also played a great role in my life. I was a lone wolf. I didn't have friends and I didn't want friends. I thought I was complete all by myself. I thought I didn't need the company of others. I didn't understand the importance and sweetness of friendship until I got a taste of it. Friendship I realised was the basis of any good relationship. We're course mates and we have a group work together? I realised that it was easier to work on group projects with friends. And that working on group projects became easier and more fun, when my course mates became my friends. Friendship I've realised goes beyond words. Friendship is love. Friendship is patience. Friendship is arguments, it is small fights and it is forgiveness. Friendship is company. Friendship is food when there's famine. Friendship is hope in moments of despair. Friendshi...

It comes in form of a rush. I mean my inspiration. Just a moment ago, it wasn't here and now its here. One thing I'm sure of - if I don't put this down right now, it'll be gone and I wouldn't have it back. If by chance I get it back, it wouldn't be the way it came now. Inspiration's weird right? But what can we do? Have I mentioned already that its inspiration to write that I refer to in this post? I like to sleep with a pen and paper on my bed, because right when I close my eyes to sleep, that's when the words come to me. Now I have two options. I either close my eyes and dream, or I pick up my pen and paper to pour down ink. The end result of the first is a good sleep. While the end result of the second, is what you now read. Well then, this doesn't mean that when I drop my pen, I wouldn't sleep. I still will. But inspiration comes from several other things. Inspiration could come from how the clock ticks. It could come from how your...

Have you ever had to move to a different city? That's not the big question. Big question is, have you ever had to move to a different city alone? Leaving your family and loved ones behind? If you have, then you'd relate to this more. You'd understand when I speak of that sickly feeling you get in your stomach or when I speak of the tears that seem to bite your eye. You'd understand when I speak of the lump you feel in your throat because of the tear you won't let come out. You'd understand  when I speak of crying in a bus. You'd understand when I speak of wanting love so much. You'd understand when I say I don't like saying goodbye. Cos saying goodbye is hard. Its good that you understand  the terrific feeling that comes just from saying goodbye. Since you understood that, Its easy then to say that you understand that saying goodbye is an exhibition of courage. That saying goodbye is a symbol of greatness. That saying goodbye means you've...
