Every time I come back home from college,on holidays,the subtle differences I see.....
Mom gobbling up more & more tablets...
Dad finding it hard to lift the luggage....
& I realize....
& It breaks my HEART!!!
Rabbirham'huma Kama Rabbayani' Sa'eera!!

Solace
When nothing can comfort you, His words can. His words always will.

Some days, the view looks scary. Trust Him. He is the Best of Planners.

Showers of blessing.
Clouds come floating in to my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky. (Tagore)

How many of our blessings do we count?

"Maashallah..not every one gets a chance to fulfill der dreams..ur among de chosen ones.."
Just a few days ago one of my school friends remarked while I was chatting with her online.....
It struck me then........
yes,indeed,I am blessed!!Here I am on the threshold of graduating from a dental school with another ten months (Insha'allah ) Maybe it is a blessing to have an amazing family support to further my education,when there are many 'dads' who donot allow their girls to be sent away from their homes or cities!Or yet again parents who want their kids to be degree-holders,but are financially weak to support them.I have both (Alhamdulilah) and still I have never considered it as a blessing!How ignorant could I be!?!
There are innumerable times I crib about being alone while I am sick,having to travel alone or having to face people who have nothing to say but against my religion or state or just about anything!
But maybe,
in being alone,while I am sick have given me the ability to take care of myself in any situation.......
in being alone,while I travel have given me the ability to enjoy solitude and tackle any situation with the best of my logic....
in being alone,while I face two-faced,three-faced etc beings have given me the ability to figure out,at times,silence is the Best!!
& Most of all,in being alone,I have realised the importance of appreciating companionship!!
How often we are so abuntantly blessed & yet we complain!?!
At times,we need a sentence or two like that,to knock some sense in to our perveted minds to see the larger picture and a different perspective!

Does evil eye really hit?
Dec 1, 2010
We often hear of people saying "evil eye", " nazar "...I wanted to know its religious answers!!
I find....
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an, (113: 1-5)
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the dawn,
from the evil of everything He has created.
And from the evil of the darkness of night when it overspreads.
and from the evil of the blowers (men or women) into knots.
And from the evil of an envious one when he envies.
Things to do when you feel you are being hit by "hasad",
Hasad means that a person should feel unhappy at the better fortune, superiority or good quality that Allah has granted to another, and should wish that it should be taken away from the other person and given to him, or at least the other one should be deprived of it. However, hasad does not mean that a person should wish that he too should be blessed with the bounty that the other one has been blessed with.
Here, Allah's refuge has been sought from the evil of the jealous one when he feels jealous, and takes a practical step with word or deed to satisfy his heart. For until he takes a practical step, his being unhappy may by itself be bad but it is not an evil for the other person so that he may seek refuge from it.
When such an evil appears from a jealous person the best thing would be to seek Allah's refuge from it. Besides this, there are a few other things also which are helpful for obtaining immunity from the evil of the jealous person
First, that one should have trust in Allah and the faith that unless Allah so wills no one can harm him in any way.
Second, that one should have patience over what the jealous person says and does and should not start behaving impatiently so as to be degraded morally to the level of the jealous person.
Third, that one should in any case maintain dignity and practice piety even if the jealous person behaves frivolously, being fearless of God and shameless of the people.
Fourth, that one should free one's mind of every thought about the jealous person and should disregard him altogether, for making him a subject of one's thought is a prelude to being influenced by him.
Fifth, that one should do the jealous person a good turn as and when one can, not to speak of treating him evilly, no matter whether this good behavior mitigates his jealousy or not.
Sixth, that one should understand rightly and remain steadfast to the doctrine of Tauhid for the heart which enshrines Tauhid, cannot be affected by anyone else's fear except the fear of Allah.
( Taken from Tafhimul Quran by Sayyid 'Ala Maududi-english translation)
I came across a dua said by the Holy Prophet in regard to the same,
Ibn Abbas related a Hadiths, "The Holy Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite this invocation over Hadrat Husain & Hasan,
" I give you in the refuge of Allah's Blameless words,from every devil and troublesome thing ,and from every evil look" (Bukhari,Musnad Ahmad,Ibn Majah)
May The Almighty protect us all!

A detour or a straight road? :)
Nov 24, 2010
In the cross-roads of life,that is the position I am in now!
After struggling 4 years with books,day & night,I realize,I need to go on
longer if I really wanna be in some 'position' & also maybe struggle again a year more with entrance books to struggle 3 more years!(Three times ,the word struggle ! :D)
I am going through what every Intern goes through-Uncertainity!
Is the whole lot of information I MUGGED UP gonna be a waste?
Am I gonna do my post graduation,If so in which branch of dentistry?
In which part of the world am I gonna settle down?India or the middle east or still farther?
Depending on the country depends my future study plans,so again,a whole lot of question marks!
How is my clinical practice going to be?
Entrance exams with the big E!
& many more sawaal
But....
One thing,life has taught me...
Whatever is decided by God is what is gonna happen
& eventually always it is the BEST!!
Just Trust in Lord-dad always tells us-& I realize its power!

Out of all the 19 subjects I have,the one I feared the most and struggled the best was ANATOMY-First year subject!
Now am back to struggling with it....for Cedees.
Thats when I thought....
There are 206 bones,more than 650 muscles,31 bilaterally paired spinal nerves,45 miles of nerves,5 million hair on our body of which 100 000 are on our head....
Nerve impulse travel at the speed of 400 km/hr,heart beats around 100000 times per day,our blood is on a 60000 mile journey,25 million new cells are being produced every second....
One square inch of human skin contains 625 sweat glands...
There are 137 million light sensitive cells in the eye's retina and fluid that fills the eye is changed 15 times a day....
Just quoting a very few facts about the human body....
All this in one human being...
There are about 6.8 billion people on earth,alive that is....
so multiplying the above numbers by 6.8 billion..
Mind boggling,ain't it?
& All under the control of The Creator!The Highest Power!The Lord of the worlds!
Subhana'allah!
Such is His power! Subhana'allah!
All Praise is duly & surely to Him, Alone!!
n we are so powerless that we cannot memorize even the names of the different bones and nerves,completely !!
With such proof in front of him,how can anyone deny the existence of God!?!
Subhana'allah! Subhana'allah ! Subhana'allah!
