Eid al Adha 2023

-

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dear readers. I hope all of you who are muslims, have had or are still having a beautiful Eid al Adha <3


I have been today at home alone.. how else? :D Well, I maybe haven't been fully feeling fine these days, but today my period started so I've had cramps and it has been better to stay at home. My friends invited me with them, so don't worry, this was my own choice.


...


If I've been feeling lousy, I have also been a lousy muslim lately.. or that's how I've felt. I could have done things better. But most importantly, I have made my tawba and I try to focus on doing good deeds to get my imaan better again. 


It feels good to get answers to small duaas. Maybe the bigger requests will also happen? At least I feel more confident, less anxious, sadaqah came right back, and today I have a nice fried chicken slash ratatouille dinner in the making, in sha Allah. Things could be a lot worse, and I'm happy I reached this point where I can only get better. Kind of a fresh start I guess.


...


I do have lovely friends, alhamdulillah. So many blessings. Why it sometimes feel if you don't have that one thing or person etc, you don't have nothing at all?

I am ready to start my journey as a lonely wolf. Be at peace, float in confidence and walk the straight road. I used to be stronger. I want to get that same strength back. Without worrying constantly, but being open to life to happen. Be open to Allah's swt plan happen.


...


So enough with the dirty laundry.. let's move on to the clean laundry era. Life is good, life is beautiful. There's so many good people in the world. There's so many blessings to enjoy each day. it's not all happy happy joy joy, but at least a bit of a smile and laughter. I have again love to give. If I receive it, alhamdulillah. If I don't receive it, it will reach me later in sha Allah.




Clean slate. This is not all my laundry lol but let's not start with overwhelming amount...




Chicken marinating, I still have some jerk spice left and that's the one and only for fried chicken.. then zucchini, mushroom and spring onion with some crushed tomatoes.. can't wait. Yum. 





Happy Eid for everyone!




Aisha

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...

Hello hello!

 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, ...

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...
