We played our last soccer game of the indoor season last night, even though we lost we played as a team i felt. In the first half we came out strong our passing was crisp, we were communicating. I think the only reason we lost was because we fell short in our conditioning. Khair inshallah, i felt we left on top.

Now to Basketball allhamduAllah and our second season we have finished third (last season we finished last). WE going up against a sold team though. WE are playing the second place team in our league in a best of three series. Whoever if anyone who reads this blog should come out and support your Muslim brothers.

I remember this time last year, Breaking Borders was in full flight we were, organizing a play to do in the rotunda, we were providing food for one of the lunches in the rotunda, we were organizing t-shirts for the club. I compare it to this year and me not even being able to attend or help out IAW. Why? Well i guess the easiest excuse and that everyone uses is that i am busy.
I guess i to can just get out of critiquing myself by saying"

I am in University,
I work
I am married
I play soccer
I play Basketball
In then other extra curricular as well.

That’s the easy way out but that doesnt make it the right way. I look back over these couple of weeks and actually count the hours i wasted, in knowing if i did that then maybe i could have helped the brother/sisters. Helped the Ummah, spread Islam, make a difference in peoples life, Look i have enough time to sit here for a couple of minutes and express my feelings. Ohh how much time i waste, where i could make a difference in the Ummah. I guess if i learn from my mistake and start taking more advantage of my time, then it was good to fall, but if i stay on the ground then indeed i have made a huge mistake and ask Allah swt to forgive me with his Mercy.

Education

Thank you for I love you, thank you for understanding me, thank you for being there for me, but all thanks and praises go to Allah for making us meant to be for each other

What am I doing with my life, I have been mock by my family and friends countless of times, them hoping that one of there jokes would be taking serious and I turn my back on education, but why, I had the aspirations of being a teacher, all my life, but why, i realized my passion and goal in life is to save the world, like how our prophet did, that how he regretted to see a Jewish man pass away because he felt that he left a soul to escape him. How do you save the world then, you educate yourself, than others, which will produce a domino effect, and now what’s the best way to educate others... Let me see go into education where you have a significant impact on the kids life you teach.

I remember in grade 8, i had such a bad rep with teachers, I was always getting kicked out of class because i was always disrupting the class with jokes and yelling out the answers and other words i was the class clown, but one day i was sitting paying attention to my teacher when i kid behind me said i stupid joke my teacher looked at me and asked me to go to the principal office, i hated him soo much and i created a huge commotion of and claming injustice was done and I would not leave, luckily the bell rang for lunch, and my teacher asked me to stay, we started talking about my behaviour and why i acted the way i did. I told him that it wasn’t right of you to just judge me on my past and that you should have asked me, he looks at me and he says “your right” those two words changed how i acted in his class i gained overwhelming respect for him and always wanted to please him. I started to be the best student in his class, homework completed in time, on time for class, had good manners the whole works, i wished it translated to my other classes but that never happened till i encountered I B but that’s another story.

When i go back in look at my life and see how teachers made a difference in my life i feel this tremendous sense that i could have an positive impact on a kids life, that every semester that i teach 100 students if i can at least have a positive impact on one of their lives than I have made a difference and which inshallah will get me closer to Allah (SWT).

It's Official

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You

"There comes a time when you must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.
You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way." Unkown

Faith teaches us Trust,
