Dates, tea and wishes granted

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh all :) how's your week started?

I had one appointment today, and after that I did some grocery shopping. I bought yoghurt and frozen blueberries, and I can tell you that nothing tastes better right now! With a drizzle of honey of course. I also bought my favorite flavored dates, tastes like cinnamon rolls, and I enjoy them now with a cup of silver tea. Husband sleeping, only the plates are calling me to come and wash them, but I postpone it because I need a bit of time for myself first.

...

I consider myself so lucky. Before I was a muslim, I prayed occasionally, but after I started calling God Allah, I saw how my prayers came true, one by one. It's a bit funny because Allah means just the God in English, so basically it was the same thing. But maybe I had more clearer idea, which kind of deity I was calling.

And Allah is the greatest. As muslims we know that Allah has 99 names/attributes, which describe for us how He is like. You need to know who are you believing in. And also have tawakkul, which means putting your whole trust in Him.

I pray for small things and bigger things. There is not a thing I wouldn't pray about. Anything from lost keys, to a seat in a bus, to future and afterlife. And so far almost everything I have been praying for has become true, subhan Allah. 

If you wonder, what's my secret, it is sincerety. Allah knows us, every toe and thought, so I don't think I need to be acting as I would be someone 'better', when I pray and make du'aa. I talk to Allah like He is my best friend, of course with appropriate respect, but I am not trying to behave holy or anything like that. Allah knows me and my situation, and I ask for help, for guidance, for teaching my life lessons in a positive way without too many trials. And I have gotten the answers!

As long as you are taking steps towards Allah, He is running to you. The promises Allah makes for us in the Qur'an are true. Believe in them, don't hesitate. Allah swt wants to grant you the things you deeply wish for.

I feel like I am still a bit all over the place. I can't gather my thoughts that well.. I just kinda float in this sea of thoughts and future insecurities. I try to be more mindful in my days. There's also a new art project I want to start. Everything has it's timing.

I really feel bad that I haven't been writing so well lately. I love my blog, I like how it is and I'm happy to see you readers from so many different countries. I don't know is it a writer's block or what, but I am suffering from lack of inspiration. Then actually often when I have posted something, I feel like I want to write more and have more ideas, but then I'm tired to write all that down. It's not that I wouldn't use time and effort, but without a proper inspiration it's hard to move forward. I need my spark back. Maybe that's what I should pray about next? Hehe.

...

The dates are a bit too sweet, I have tried to avoid sugar and it's surprising how quickly your taste buds get used to something new. Now sugary treats make me almost nauseous. I crave for the frozen blueberries though now.. I must make another cup of yoghurt :)

Just give me time and be patient dears (I love and appreciate u),
