Be Courageous

‎...if at first you don't succeed - don't give up! Try again!

Maybe that thing isn't good for you - so go back to the drawing board, get creative and start again to figure out what it is that you're supposed to be doing - what is your 'Unique Purpose'.

We think we know - but Allah knows when we do not know!

Be Courageous and be willing to fall and learn - life's toughest lessons have only ever been learnt when we have fallen hard and then picked ourselves up again.

The answers to all your questions lie within you - so stop, take a deep breath and reconnect with your soul - don't look here and there for answers but look within and you will find what you're looking for insha'Allah.

Be Courageous (:

How To Study

***ALERT!!! For ALL Students!***

...and we're all students - yes YOU and I (whether that is formal education, self-study, personal development, etc.) I was studying and read the following so thought {SHARE the KHAIR} with everyone :)

How To Study:-

1. Schedule: time EVERY week for your study sessions

2. Motivate: yourself to CONCENTRATE each time you study

3. Focus: set the TONE for your study sessions

4. Achieve: set your GOALS and get the most out of each study period

5. Review: make sure that you UNDERSTAND what you have studied and that you can REMEMBER it.

6. Look Ahead: prepare for your NEXT study session

I know these are simple steps - but we can always do with a reminder - especially me! lol :)

Make A Dua...

...This is just a short reminder, for myself firstly and foremostly and then all of you, my turBo flow fam, that please do not underestimate the power of dua.

Dua - made sincerely - can do incredible and powerful things.

When Allah (swt) accepts our duas we see miracles before our eyes.

So much happens daily - not only in our own lives but also across the globe - so please keep everyone in your duas - for we don't know whose dua Allah may accept and things can change positively for someone.

Please make dua for everyone everywhere - and may the One answering your duas for others give you from His Mercy that which you could not even imagine - ameen! :)

The Traveller's Guide To The Qur'an

Sabeeling - The Traveller's Guide To The Qur'an; Brum, UK, 28th/29th Jan 2012

(Concluding notes from the weekend course I attended)

In a nutshell, a person has to have the following life-span plans - or in other words we need to set the following targets, iA:

Are YOU game? Good iA - here's the targets:

1. Target 1: Fix your relationship with the Book of Allah - the Qur'an. Make a target that by the end of 2012 you will perfect the recitation iA (Note - many online resources available for free to help you recite properly, utilize them iA).

2. Target 2: Make the Qur'an a part of your life and do not abandon it. It has all the answers for your life. Solutions to everything are in this Book. It is a guidance for us all.

3. Target 3: Make a plan to memorize the Qur'an. In old age when illnesses and diseases hit us and we cannot recite the Qur'an from memory we will really regret it.

4. Target 4: To go through the meaning of the verses and meaning of the Book - i.e. study the tafsir.

Also: Use time accordingly - make use of many short periods of time that are neglected, be organised on a daily, make sure you have access to the Qur'an always.

Finally: You cannot give your child any better gift than the gift of the Qur'an!

Please {SHARE} this post widely so everyone can benefit from it insha'Allah :)

Reach For The Stars

Do YOU Believe in YOU? Your Lord Believes in YOU and I Believe in YOU! :)

...'Don't Stop Now Til You Reach The Top - You Got One Shot Give It All You Got - Put Your Mind To It And You Never Give Up - You Will Overcome Against All Odds!'

(Chorus from the track 'Against All Odds' by The Bilz & Kashif)

Attitude Check!

...This quote basically says it all!

It really, truly is all about our attitude - and our attitude can make or break.

Think about it for a moment - no one else has control over our attitude - it's something you and I possess - it's what each individual has - and we can all take charge and fix it up.

It's our attitude that determines the outcome of any circumstance or situation.

Next time you're in hot water just step back a moment, take a deep breath and then react.

Elders always say in Urdu; 'Think with a cold/cool mind'. And they are right because if we do cool down then we will react more calmly and the situation will cool down - and we can come up with creative ideas to solve the issues.

So, team turBo flow - let's check our attitude and let's fix it up insha'Allah - for as Winston Churchill; 'Attitude is a little thing which makes a big difference!'.
