About
Muslim female born and raised in the U.S. I’m from New York and my parents are from Nigeria.
I was born on the fitra, my parents (May Allah subhanahu wa ta ala guide and have mercy on them) raised me following that which our forefathers followed, and alhamdulillah, Allah guided me to accept Islam.
I love apples from the Royal Gala to the Macintosh.
Favorite movie: That one that keeps playing in my head about me crossing over the siraat at the speed of light without any reckoning and entering jannah. Have you had that one, too?
may Allah give ur parents and other parents a long life and keep them protected by any grief as such that can block their future paths in life
INSHALLAH MAY ALLAH GIVE THOSE THAT ARE POOR A LONG AND WELL LIVED LIFE, AND TAKE AWAY THEIR POORNESS AND REPLACE IT WITH LOVE AND HAPPINESS FOREVA
Ameen. May Allah subhanahu wa ta ala have mercy on you and reward you with that which is best.
salam…saw ur comment on my new blog… i am afraid this blogging will get addictive… btw i have a new post on the 2006 election….
i see that u go to dar-us-salam… i was there on saturday with my family.. maybe u met w/my wife… she was wearing a black burqa/niqab with 3 kids… one very cute baby, we were out-of-towners of course… we LOVE that community. unfortunately, as much as we would like to, the logistics of my work wont allow us to move there (at least not yet).
inshallah, we do plan to try to come for sh safi’s classes, as possible…
Asalamu alaykum,
Yes, blogging can become addictive. I may have seen her but can’t recall. I came early and then some sisters invited me their homes so I left but I came back for Br. Safi’s lecture in the evening.
May Allah make it easy for you and your family. I love that community, I always feel a sense of sakinah as I pull into the parking lot and sad when I drive away.
finally made my way here…
Masha’Allah!
Which reminds me, I need to update my own blog.
See you on Friday, insha’Allah.
Asalamu alaykum wa Rahmatullah,
Alhamdulillah springRoll. Aren’t you going to give us that link for your blog?
as salam alykum. i know i am supposed to have a website to be here but i just couldn’t resist sending a reply o my sister who is from nigeria. i am also from nigeria and in fact i live in Lagos, nigeria. also i just stumbled on this site and i fell in love with it. i hope to gain from it inshaallah. i’m also a memeber of the almaghrib community forums though i am not very frequent there. soooooooooooo…………….. wa salam alaykum.
Was passing near by and thought that I should leave my footprints. I’m also an apple love … but don’t own a Mac
I hope, Insha Allah, your favorite movie is fulfilled. Nigeria, like all of Africa is a part of me; it’s a pleasure reading from one from there.
As Salaamu Alaikum MA;
You go to Dar us-Salaam, too? So do I! My little one goes to Al Huda. I used to teach there and am praying that Allah will allow me to work among the Muslims again. It’s one of the few communities that is relatively fitnah-free. Not perfect, but , masha Allah, the Muslims greet me there warmly no matter if we’re dressed differently, unlike some paces you go. I know a Nigerian sister there..maybe it was you I used to sit next to in Qur’an class…?
Asalamu alaykum,
Yeah Umm Atiyya, I miss our weekend Quran classes and the camaraderie and sisterhood of reciting in our small group and listening, learning, and correcting each other. Maybe we could get together again just to recite.
I would love that! I intend to continue classes this coming September with our dear teacher. But I would welcome the opportunity to get together with you since I haven’t seen you since the Chain of Command class.
I’m supposed to have my own web site to be on here? …My bad. I’m new to blogging and have spent WAAAAY too much time on Umm Adams’s blog, but I really enjoy hearing about her life. Makes me think I’m in/wanna go to Saudi. But the non-driving thing hangs me up. Man, I used to ride motorcycles and enjoy the wind flapping my khimar out the back of my helmet! Can’t drive?!!! Oh, well, hijrah should be for Allah, not the gas pedal.
Btw, my favorite is nice, crisp Gala with a hunk o’ cheddar chese!
Actually I have lived that movie, and was sent back
I am adding you to my blogroll, dear sister 
Ya Haqq!
Asalamu alayku wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,
My sincerest apologies for overlooking some of you.
Soul Purity: I hope you find something beneficial here, one of the few reasons I don’t delete this blog is because people tell me they have benefited from something I’ve posted.
Sanix: Thanks for leaving your footprints, apples and macs are blessings.
Omar: Ameen and the same for you.
Irving: Ahh, I would love to hear about that movie and thanks for adding me to your blogroll, you’re in my Google Reader so I can keep tabs on your posts.
Hey Muslim Apple, I finally figured out who u are! “that cool sister that i always run into at darussalam on random days when I’m there and who loves her macintosh!”
Naureen
Asalamu alaykum AlwaysRed (I like that nickname),
A belated Eid Mubarak to you.
Alhamdulillah, yeah we do seem to run into each other on random days and I do love my Mac and the new operating system named Leopard comes out next week, super exciting…well super exciting for me at least.
I saw you tonight and I remember the sheikh mentioned the thing about telling someone you love them for the sake of Allah. And I wanted to tell you that I love you for the sake of Allah. Mash’allah I always feel you have sakeenah. I hope that is always the case with you insh’allah!
Your sister
Naureen
Asalamu alaykum Naureen, and indeed I love you for the sake of Allah as well. Ameen to your dua. May Allah subhana wa ta ala protect you and envelop you in His mercy and shower His blessings upon you. Ameen.
O Allah, make me better than they know and forgive me for what they do not know.
Salam. I like the simplicity of the theme you’re using. Your posts are nice too.
Asalamu alaykum,
Thanks, I’ve been through quite a few themes and would be happier if I had a sidebar on the right or left instead of on the bottom.
Hey, that’s MY favourite movie
COPY CAT
Hey, Sara, I think you copied me, but it’s all good, hope to see you up there some day in sha Allah.
