"My mother never hit me, not once!"

I once worked with a man & his dying mother. She was in her 90's & was an unresponsive hospice patient. He was a very healthy 74 year old if he would've told me he was 34 I would have believed him. Anyway I'll never forget the life lesson's I learned from that experience & I just wanna share some of what he said. He said that he had the option of leaving his mother in the care of others but how could he when she was such an excellent mother to him. He was her only child & he said "She never hit me, not once!! ever!! & this is all the sacrifice I can do for her." He said it several times & when he did he pointed up with his index finger with teary eyes. "He said she never hit me not even once in my entire life!!" He was the gentlest man I'd ever met.

Refrain from being vain; remain steadfast upon the Prophet's way
& let Allah & the believers relay the haqq of your status on the last day.

Sincerity makes the simplest gesture a treasure. ~MsDi3verse

Being Unknown, better?

Sufyaan Ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said, "Hence you must take to the original affair, hold tight to it, and you should take to being unknown, for indeed this is the age to remain unknown. And take to remaining aloof, secluded, and associating little with the people, because when people used to meet, some of them would benefit the others. But as for today, then that has gone and in our view, salvation lies in abandoning them. Related by Aboo Nu'aym in Al-Hilyah (6/376-377)

Al-Hasan al-Basree said :

"No speech will be correct except with action, and no speech and action will be correct except with intention, and no speech, action and intention will be correct except with the Sunnah." [Sharh Usool al-Itiqaad Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamm'aah of Imaam al-Laalikaa'ee]

Uways ibn 'Aamir, the best of the taabi'een, may Allaah have Mercy on him, said:

"The act of ordering what is right and forbidding evil does not leave the believer with a single friend. We order them with what is good and they insult our honor, and they get help from the faasiqoon (disobedient, rebellious ones) in that, so much so that, by Allaah, they have accused me of horrible things. But, by Allaah, I will not stop establishing His Right amongst them."

Al-I'tisaam (1/39)

Kind word's

Sometimes the kindest, gentlest word with true concern & sincerity, can change a persons life forever. Forever for the good & they'll never forget you & that's the truth of words. Words can be essential also detrimental & can be used as a shield & sometimes a weapon I prefer be kind with mine. ~Ms.Di3verse

Living the fast paced life; can I have just 1 minute of your time?

Today I'm thinking how I was ungrateful for some good times, times when I should have been reaping benefit. Sometimes we ask Allah for ease & He gives it to us, but we are to sinful & heedless to even notice it. May Allah forgive me & us.

Wisdom has no age. I seem to be the type who get's wiser with living & age, but I learned that it's only because of not being mindful. Everyone is different, that's for sure, but when your moving to fast, it's almost like your mind doesn't know how to keep up with this fast paced life. It doesn't matter how smart you are. You are human first, and only Allah can sustain all of life without rest. We need to slow down, rest & focus.

A simple life is so much better, as human's we know this (most of us) but we get wrapped up & let ourselves become a slave to worldly matters, a slave to work, to money, to man, to addictions: now I don't want to ramble on so I'll just say it, STOP! slow down, breathe... Now doesn't that feel so good. Take a long vacation, a peaceful one, & think. Think about simplicity.

The Dream before my Shahadah

In about April 2000, I took shahadah. I don't remember precise dates, but approximately 2 months before that day, I had an inspiring dream. The funny thing about it was that it wasn't your average dream. It was more like a vision because there was no sound or action, but it was a dream because I was in deep sleep.

I saw myself covered in Muslimah clothing & I was standing alone on high ground, as if it were a pulpit, or stage, or what have you. I had an audience and my audience was a room full of Muslimah women. Their faces were bright as if white, and they had light coming from their faces and hands. It was a bright dream and I felt as if I was an Islamic Princess. *sigh, subanallah*



I'd awaken feeling very content, excited; anxious to know it's meaning. It was the happiest I had ever awaken from a dream. I then found that Fatimah, my friend's mother, was up and ironing (Fajr time). She was startled by my being up so early & even more surprised to see my mood. After I told her the dream, she smirked and said silently, "Oh, that's a nice dream." She didn't want to wake anyone, also she was busy getting ready for work.

She from time to time, prior to the dream, would call me & invite me to take shahadah, but I would say "No" in meekness. I didn't want anyone to think I was doing it "to be down". Then one day she did not let my silence & shyness overcome me, She just started saying the shahadah and asked me to repeat after her and I did, I said, "La illaha illa lah Muhammedur Rasullulah".

When it was done we began to cry & hug eachother in joy. There was a sense of relief for the both of us. I felt so light. I felt as if I was floating on air. I didn't expect to feel that good. I knew then, that I never wanted to loose that feeling. It was then that I knew I would be Muslimah forever, inshallah.

Today's Thought

Invigorating air, even the hood has better day's, Allah's mercy consenting the wind's wave to carry my worries away. Grateful...

Off of the Top of My Covered Head

Wearing hijab increased my intellect,
my understanding of the psych of women & men,
I can now make a man look at me for me,
not for whether or not I'm size 3.
And Islam is about strength not numbers,
so sorry for this foam of the sea.
Allahs promise,
the Muslims call,
Rasullulah's plea.
All sins can be forgiven,
except for misguidance in tawheed.
La illaha illa Allah 1st call.

Poetic Confession's

All of the woman is awrah,
from the giggle to the thought,
from the waistline down & up,
from her face to her eyes,
from her smile to her rhymes.
The believing women,
Oh we know...
Oh and we do our best to cover all,
including what's inside,
our thoughts,
our minds...
The Quran & Sunnah tell no lies,
thoughts can be awrah too,
especially if it attracts you.

Tirmidhi with a SAHIH chain reports..."Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said “All of a woman is ‘awrah.”

Note to self

He who inspires Allahs slave to good inspires truth.

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem.

Amatullah, A Better Name

Sadness engulfs me,
weakness overcomes me,
confusion consumes me.
Quranic verses then soothe me,
Strength then becomes me,
Istighkharah makes it all clear.
I am not lonely.
Allah is above me.
I have to clear my mind,
so I lift my hands up towards the sky.
I know who I am with no confusion.
I am Amatullah,
Allahs slave and not a mans.

Lightning strikes,
Mind revives,
We won the fight,
Hand scurries to write.
Word's are flowing,
Mind is hurrying,
Righty keeps up,
I'm serious no bluff.
Washed up pen,
Comes to an end,
Vision in awe,
Look at these writing's!
Writer's block gone.
Por fin glad tidings.
Hand and brain
say farewell.
Buenas noches.
See you later.
Good night.

Head in the clouds,

floating up and down,
round and round,
Attached a long string
to pull it down.
Oh and did I mention
There's a pea in it.

And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders.
And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitân (devil). Except him (devil) that gains hearing by stealing, he is pursued by a clear flaming fire. (Al-Hijr 15:16-18)

MsDi3verse April 2008

Peace in my heart and peace in my soul for with Allah rests my final abode.
Allah opened my heart,
Allah cleansed my soul to purity and kind loving words.
My rest will come.
Jannah I hope will be my final home.
Peace on my mind.
Peace in my soul.
Praise be to Allah who created jannah
as the believers home.

Allah's soldier:

Mu'awwidhatayn my shield.
Islam will never fall.
Got Islam's wall,
your safe,
your strong,

Black Seed: A Cure for Every Disease

Both Sahihs have reported the hadith narrated by Abu Salamah on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Use this black seed regularly, because it has a 'shifaa' (cure) for every disease, except death.

BLACK SEED is phytotherapuetic (Herbal medicine ) and has been known to reduce your risk to illness and disease by strengthening your immune system and protecting your body’s most important organs. It is a wondrous herb that has been used for centuries throughout the world for its many therapeutic properties.

Benefits of righteous children

The Prophet (salla lahu alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have said, "When a son of Adam passes away, he is cut off from his deeds except for three things: a current or perpetual charity, good knowledge that benefits someone, and a righteous child who makes du`aa' (supplication) for him."

A man approached the Prophet, asking, "Is there anything I must do in terms of kindness towards my parents after their death?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, there are four things for you to do: Praying and asking forgiveness of Allah on their behalf, fulfilling their promises, respecting their friends, and fostering their ties of kinship…" (Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad)
