And so, it begins
And so it Begins
Asalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatu
Bismillahi Rahmani Ar-raheem
For some time now, I have been meaning to start a blog, and as they say there is no time like the present. The only downfall is that the present happens to be 2 am in the morning, for a social work student a week away from finals, with text books and papers hauntingly staring and screaming to be completed. So the most logical thing for me to do is slowly but casually shift around and give the books my back. There, HA HA take that. And victory is mine inshAllah. And with that I begin my first BLOG.
Junk Upon my Table Top
They say you can tell a lot about a person from the items on their desktop (and no I do not mean the junk on your computer screen. But rather the old school four legged bed mate). So what better way for me to introduce myself than to attempt to decipher the significance of these items and what they say about me and my life.
1. My reading lamp
2. A black and white vase, where I keep many important documents
3. A half full cup of over sugared coffee
4. An almost empty cup of juice
5. A box of Oreos
6. Vitamin D pills
7. An english translation of the Holy Quran
8. My Riyadh As- Saleheen/Gardens of the Righteous
9. And finally a single earring.
(Note that all these items happen to arranged in straight symmetrical lines)
a) It is far too early for you to judge me, and
b) No I do not suffer from OCD
Later Days ( I must confess, I thoroughly enjoy children’s cartoones such as the WEEKENDERS, and no, I am not ashamed of this regardless of my older age, walhamdulilah
Areesala
Out.

Walaykumu Salam
Apologies to all for my lackluster post. I have yet to get the hang of blogging, and as of yet, have found no inspiration on topics or ideas to write about. Please feel free to leave me suggestions for topics to write about. InshAllah they would be greatly appreciated.
PS. Alhamdulilah it is such a blessing to be a Muslimah, and so wonderful to see so many beneficial blogs by fellow muslims. May Allah swt reward those who are benefitting others by posting reminders for thier brothers and sisters all over the world.
Assalam alaikum,
There are many topics you can write about insha’Allah..depends on your interests. Whatever you do, dont be like me though. When I use to take my blog very seriously, I would put all the topics that were of intester to me in a hat and pick one from the hat, forcing myself to write a post based upon that topic. Nevertheless, welcome to the blogging world.
Wa’salaams.
JazakAllah khayr for the welcome, and that actually sounds like a great idea for getting started.
