As the sun dips below the city skyline, it leaves behind a breathtaking blend of colors. A moment of tranquility amidst the urban chaos.

Gloomy days for my cats

‎چو استاده ای٬ دست افتاده گیر

As long as you are standing, give a hand to those who have fallen.

Today I discovered 4 great places in the city: recommended carwash, best value laundromat, affordable premium shoes store, satisfying home reflexology, and my cats cuddling. What a day!

My second time reading the Alchemist and I just noticed that Crystal glass shop owner has the dream about visiting Mecca. Just like me, realizing that it was used to be my dream, that it is the fifth pillar of my faith. I can't help but hold my tears from falling.

Getting married is easy but the hardest thing is finding the right partner who's going to help you maintain and increase your level of Imaan and Taqwa.

If you want to get married, ask Allah for 3 things in a spouse:

1. Ya Allah please Grant me someone who will remind me of You.

2. Ya Allah please Grant me someone who will hold my hand in Jannah.

3. Ya Allah please Grant me someone who will elevate my Imaan.

Aameen.🤍🕊

Our Lord, we will continue to knock on Your door for the rest of our lives.

You are the best listener and the best responder.

You are the only one who relieves us from all hardships.

You are the one who bestows upon us countless blessings and also the one who withholds them.

If You grant us gifts, it is a blessing from You, something we hope for and look forward to. And if You choose to withhold, You remain our Lord, Creator.

Our hands will be raised to none but You. We have no one but You. If we are turned away from Your door, where else shall we knock?"

How to keep a disagreement from becoming an argument?

Welcome the disagreement. Perhaps this disagreement is your opportunity to be corrected before you make a serious mistake.

Distrust your first instinctive impression. Keep calm and watch out for your first reaction. It may be you at your worst, not your best.

Control your temper. Remember, you can measure the size of a person by what makes him or her angry.

Listen first. Try to build bridges of understanding. Don’t build higher barrier of misunderstanding.

Look for areas of agreement. When you have heard your opponent out, dwell first on the points and areas on which you agree.

Be honest. Look for areas where you can admit error and say so. Apologize for your mistakes. It will help disarm your opponent and reduce defensiveness.

Promise to think over your opponents’ ideas and study them carefully. And mean it.

Thank your opponent sincerely for their interest. Anyone who takes the time to disagree with you is interested in the same things you are. Think of them as people who really want to help you, and you may turn your opponents into friends.

Postpone action to give both sides time to think through the problem. Suggest that a new meeting be held later that day or the next day, when all the facts may be brought to bear.

Take me back to those summer adventures

“For years mental health professionals taught people that they could be psychologically healthy without social support, that ‘unless you love yourself, no one else will love you’ …The truth is, you cannot love yourself unless you have been loved and are loved. The capacity to love cannot be built in isolation.”

— Bruce D. Perry

“Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but ‘Mom’s’ probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.”

“It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”
