Why I created this blog...

Assalamu Alaykum,

First and foremost, I wish to state that anything good from this post comes from Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala and anything bad comes from myself and Shaytaan.

I created this blog purely as a place to write about my thoughts; a place where I can remain anonymous - for however long I like. This blog will definitely be about my thoughts on Islam, but it will also be about other things I find relevant to post about.


It has been just under a week since the beloved month of Ramadan went. I felt content during Ramadan. I found peace in reading the Quran; I loved praying Taraweeh. I did not want Ramadan to end. But alas, all good things must come to an end. I found that even on that last day of Ramadan, I could feel my own imaan and willingness to read and appreciate the Quran etc. weaning. It was as if the reappearance of Shaytaan made my imaan dip low - may Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala make us so that we can resist Shaytaan and resist our own nafs.

I feel as if there is a void in my life - this Ramadan made me appreciate the beauty of Islam and the love that Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala has for us; and with Ramadan over, I can feel everything slipping away from me. As the saying goes, 'Live your life like it is Ramadan and your death will be like Eid.' May Allah make this a lifestyle for us In Sha Allah.

I know this post was not necessarily interesting but like I said, it is just somewhere for me to empty my thoughts. I don't know how often I will update - I suppose when I get that urge to pour out my feelings. Until then, I pray Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala blesses you all, keeps you steadfast with your imaan and grants you sabr from any problems you may be facing.

Assalamu alaykum.
