Continuing

-

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah 💕


I could continue the theme of my last post easily.. at least what comes to my what's-going-on. More harder days, also lots of love and happy moments. I haven't written since, because I have been coping with all, trying to see the good in everything that followed.

In one point of view, I put a lot at stake. Believing in honesty and being sincere can come with a cost. The cost might be evil eye, not the least.. But I know for sure Allah, subhaana wa ta'ala, is above of that, and my flaws and sins are eventually for Him to judge or forgive.


...


So, I've

- met family

- written poetry

- made decisions


And alhamdulillah, I am happy that I can have new opportunities. In sha Allah. Each new day is one, and I want to make good use of it.


I have also learned a couple things. For example,

- I still like to write poetry

- I am not repeating myself, but staying as who I am

- Honesty brings out goodness

- Patience may eventually give happiness and protect from harm

- I have to strive to do the right thing


...


I am not sure how common it is, as a muslim, to feel like failing. Does everyone have those feelings? To me it seems that we hear more stories of people who changed their life one day, and 'lived happily ever after'. And it's wonderful that it happens. 

I'd also like to hear stories of those, who stumble and rise, only to stumble again. Because I would relate to that much more. 

Or true success just takes so, so, so much to achieve? That we don't hear about the stumbling ones because that is just the prologue?


It feels comforting to think that this where I'm at with myself could still be the beginning.


...


Now when I think of the Qur'an, it has the surah of Opening, but not an ending, closing, finishing one. Surah an-Nas.. In a way I wouldn't see it as a closing chapter, like another book would have? Enlighten me, if someone has knowledge of this. 

..I think Qur'an is something always continuous. Something with no beginning or end.


I need to continue this search. And continue starting over, in sha Allah.

Good to see you

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how are you doing? It's the endless promising that I will write more often.. I don't know why it is like this. But I'm really happy to see that you, dear readers, come back even though my lack of consistency. I can only promise to try to be better ;) I have been a little sick and even now I'm having some migraine symptoms. I've been in flu and had sore throat. Usually I'm physically healthy so this has stressed me out a bit. But alhamdulillah, getting better just in time for Ramadan. :) ... So yes. I have some news.. I got married ♡♡ I'm happy and it feels easy. We are still a bit strangers, we got married fast, so it's a bit of a learning process still. My husband is very sweet and takes care of me. It's the small things, he helps at home, always brings something when he comes (we are not living together yet), and gives compliments and intimacy. Alhamdulillah. Everyone have their misdeeds and m

Night time thoughts

-
 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. How are you? I am stressing about some personal issues, so can't sleep. So, I'm making a cup of coffee, planning to stay up all night. And go market in the morning. I have the luxury to take a nap later, so staying up tonight is not a problem. This happens for me sometimes, I just have to stay awake all night. Night is good time for writing, as I feel a bit more creative. The vibe is different and the stimulation of outside world has shut down. ... What would I write then? I want to write about Palestine, I want to write about Sudan, Congo.. Afghanistan. Kashmir, Uighur muslims, Rohingya sisters and brothers.. Yemen, Syria. And more, that I know or don't, yet. The world is burning because of Western democracy, which means white supremacy and colonization. Certain countries supporting each other in this atrocity. Even Finland, a nordic, "real democracy", the "happiest country in the world", is delivering gun

 Assalamu aleikum everyone! 😊❤ How are you doing? It feels great to start over. For those who don't know, I used to write a blog with the same title, "Cup of tea with Aisha", for around five years until I decided to demolish the whole thing. 😌 And it felt good. It was one part of my journey, finding myself and healing, and also about all the stumbling along the way. But now that part, is a part of the past. I'm still on that same journey, but on another level - a lot has happened and changed. So this is it, same me but maybe a different perspective.. I hope that with sharing my thoughts and insights, you may find yourself not feeling alone with yours. ❤ in sha Allah. ... In my profile, I tell I write about daily life, food, beauty, travel, islam, mental health and relationships. So, for an introduction, here's a brief 411 of these subjects in my life.. Daily life Right now, my daily life is very simple. In Finland everyone starts by asking about work or school,
