The Messiah, Îsâ Ibn Maryam.

Islam considers Jesus to be one of the greatest and most forbearing of prophets, in addition to Noah, Abraham, Moses and Muhammad, peace be upon them. Jesus is also considered to be the Messiah as well. This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of God’s messengers.

"God clarified in the Quran that Jesus was not crucified; rather, it was made to seem that way to the Jews, and that God raised him to the Heavens.  The Quran does not explain, though, who was the person crucified instead of Jesus, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him"

“…They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but (another) was made to resemble him to them…” (Quran 4:157)

“God lifted him up to His presence.  God is Almighty, All-Wise.” (Quran 4:158)

As such, Islam denies that Jesus came to this earth with the purpose of sacrificing himself for the sin of Adam, Eve, and the rest of humanity, freeing them from its burden.  Islam strictly rejects the notion that any person bears the sin of another.  God says:

“No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another.” (Quran 39:7)

Have a great Sunday and search the vast amount of knowledge that has being passed down from past generations. Leave a legacy for the next generation that is to come to this earth and for them to learn from you.

Feeling like a proud mummy

As I walked my beautiful boys to the mosque (place of worship), I felt choked and so proud of them. They looked absolutely gorgeous in their outfits and so grown up. They walked together, eldest holding my little ones hand, making sure he was safe. It was heart touching as I watched them both walk into the mosque. I held my tears in and as I got back home, I hugged my hubby and told him of this magical moment as my tears flowed. Those tears and me have such a good relationship, Allah (God) blessed us with two beautiful young boy's and one day they will be men. I hope my boys continue to make their mummy proud. 

Love mum

Our hearts need to be clean and the rest is up to Allah Swt.

As I got into my car this morning I noticed a beautiful girl wearing a hijab (head scarf) and she had done it so beautifully. I drove my car around the corner and passed this girl again, only this time she had taken the hijab off. 

There could be a lot of explanations here:

For freedom and keeping peace for the family's sakes, which is very wrong. 

Our hearts need to be clean and the rest is up to Allah Swt. I personally took it slowly and my heart directed me to cover my head with a hijab. 

But we should never judge others as each one of us will find that divine within when the time is right. May Allah Swt guide us all through our hearts and direct us in life, as we are only here on earth for a short time. 

Alhamdulillah

My Hijab and my closeness to Allah, my creator

I met a brother a few years ago and when I was leaving he touched my head. In Asian culture that indicates that his giving his sister respect, a blessing. Was really heart warming and he didn't have to do that. I love helping and never ask for anything but means so much when you are given respect.

That day, that beautiful moment, I decided I must cover my head as it felt so bare. Never knew in a million years that I would become closer to my Deen. Allah wrote my destiny and he is guiding me by thought, feeling so proud of myself; my heart is crying tears of a new life, that joy. 

Allah (God) will never let me walk alone and will be there, every step of the way, as I've just entered the Islamic path a few months ago.

My head felt so bare. I was taking it very slowly before I covered my head as family were saying don't rush. But the power of Allah, that deep feeling is out of this world and I've got so much to learn. I started off wearing just a scarf on my head so that I could get used to it, as it was a big step and I was feeling nervous. 

Insha Allah I will get there, may Allah be pleased with me and if I make a mistake I do ask for forgiveness. 

I did this for a few weeks, my head was half covered and my hair was still showing. But It didn't feel right, so on 29th November 2012 I put on my hijab, I asked everyone on my Social sites and blogs to send me healing prayers as it was my first day wearing the hijab and where I work I was the only Muslim women working there. How would they react to the new me."

Accepting the Hijab is for me 

"I'm doing it for me and from my heart"

As I was driving to work, I was asking Allah for guidance and strength. I saw this eldery man, with an white beard in the car behide me. He was a Muslim and I felt that Allah had sent him on my path with the message, everything will be well and to give me that extra guidance that I needed that day. 

I walked into work, head held high and with the guidance of this eldery man that I had seen that morning. I have no idea who he was, but he gave me encouragement. Also Allah will never let me walk this journey alone and will be there, every step of the way. Insha Allah. God willing. 

I'm also so blessed to have brothers and sisters who walk my journey along side me. I had a few people look and some nice compliments, some didn't now what to say. I explained to a few who asked but in all everything went well. 

My hijab is my protection and that closeness to Allah, my creator whom I will return back home one day. 

Alhamdulillah "Praise be to God for creating such beauty"

Those silent tears within

I've silently cried deep down inside and if you look at this picture very closely, you will see in my eyes that this was my saddest moment that  day. This was the moment that I looked at my life and thought to myself, I just can't carry on like this. I need to live for me, my boys and my life time partner. 

From that precise moment, that week, those incidents that occurred that day, I decided that I was going to come first, live for me and the tears that came when I made that big decision was the worst that I had ever experienced

I'd cried so much I felt like this is it and I was at a total loss as each member of my blood family deserted me on my darkest hour but as I took those tiny steps that followed, one by one, my life slowly started to change for the better and a new life was born, the new me that you see today. 

Tonight I want you to pay attention to your eyes as they hold all your answers to your life and they are the closest that you will ever come to when communicating to your soul. 

Night and God bless

Powerful words to conquer in life

Forgiveness, Love, Jealousy, Betrayal, Commitment are very powerful words and many of the above words you will have felt at some. 

The person that has and can conquer all these values and have had them imbedded in their hearts are the most powerful souls. 

We should all aim for this achievement in our lives and it is achievable.

Happy Lohri

Lohri (Is a festival, celebrated by Punjabi people of Indian )..And has many happy mixed memories for me as I was growing up. On every Lohri my lovely grandmother would buy jalabi (an Indian sweet) for all our extended families and my grandfather would give us gifts. But this soon changed when I married a Muslim and I was left out of all the family celebrations. It did hurt as I stood back and watched all my siblings getting gifts but for me it wasn't the fact that I didn't get the gifts, I missed the affection, the loving feeling, the atmosphere that I once had. 

Anyway, Happy Lohri to everyone that's celebrating today and if you've being forgotten, don't worry as you have God that will be looking down on you and he will never forget his creation that he created.

We are all travelers on this journey

We are all soul travelers on this journey of life, some souls we will meet and some we will walk on by, or miss accidentally. But we have all come to earth to learn the vast amount of knowledge that this world has to offer us and we will be taking the teachings back to heaven, that place, that home that will be rewarded to us for eternity. 

As you travel on this path, always feel and observe your fellow travelers auras, that deep feeling as they will bring you the little teachings for you to learn from. Ask as many questions as possible and without hesitation, as that one answer might be the changing of you. With the information that you receive, pass it on to the next traveller that crosses your path, so they too can learn and pass onto the many travelers passing them too. 

You will come across some travelers that will not understand each other's journeys, the words spoken of but don't criticize, as it may not be your time to travel alongside of them as yet and you both keep to your own paths. 

Just remember this life is a journey, an experience that we have come to earth to learn from and the vast amount of teachings that we will learn, we will be taking back to our creators house. 

Have a great day

and for once, quieten your mind to feel the presence, those feelings of auras all around you. 

Love and Peace

Need to say goodby to my family

The time has come to say goodbye and move on. I have changed and become this placid caring wonderful woman who has found herself. If you see me today you wouldn't even recognize me as I have changed so much. 

You have had your chance to see me but you chose not to. My boys are growing up and not once have you contacted them." Uncles " 

In life there comes a time when you have to leave the people who once said that they loved you behind. And I've done just that.  I am growing spiritually and need to be free and not carry any burdens or pains. 

I kept quiet so that you all could live your life and be free of this burden that I carried. I knew this day would come when I had to leave you all and I have forgiven you all from my heart, I hold no grudges, you just weren’t strong enough, to stand by me. I will never to this day why or understand why all the family chose to disown me. 

As you all knew the truth but still no one helped me when I asked for help and I never stopped asking. In the end it was up to me to help myself. You can ask the family why they chose to stay quiet when I spoke up at the age of seventeen as I could have been helped supported but you and the rest chose to ignore that but that's ok because deep down you must feel bad. I Know I have goals and dreams which I am working on and God wiling I feel satisfaction. 

Always stay happy, be truthful to yourself and look after each other as I have my life to live. I have big plans, dreams and I will get there one day and eventually my dreams ambitions you will all see. 

Who would have believed me if I said one day I was going to write and publish a book. I’m helping so many people and will continue to offer my services as an powerful advocate for sexual abuse victims. In life you do get rewarded with all those tears that you would have shredded I will be collecting my good earned rewards. 

One of the amazing gifts that I have being rewarded is Allah (God) who is deep inside me. I go to bed with the angels singing and walk with my guides. 

Got so much going on in my life and you just wouldn’t believe me. I’m surrounded by the spiritual world and I am going to one day use this wonderful gift that I have being gifted with to heal the masses in this world that we live in. 

Will always love you all. I meant nothing but you no what I've gone beyond caring.

The inner child within

Extract from my book: Felt it needed to be shared, and it does trigger, so be careful but let it heal you. 

Say these words in your heart and with conviction. 

The little child inside me, the inner me, has come out and it is up to me to free them fully. It wasn’t their fault, and I have to let them now that there are no secrets. It is my responsibility to take care of my inner child and I will help them. 

I close my eyes, and hold out my hand, to reach their hand. I hold it tight and will never let it go again; it is my responsibility to look after my inner child. By just talking to my inner child and telling them this, I will take the pain away. They want to be free of all this hurt. 

If you have suffered in this way, you need to be in charge too; you have to help the child in you, tell them in your mind, not to be scared and that you are here to protect them. Hold their hand tight, tighter and never let it go again. Send them lots of unconditional love. Tell them that you love them, that you will always be there for them, and will never let go of that hand. It is your duty as the owner of that child within, to be responsible for the child in you. 

Hope this helps anyone that needs to hear this message. 

Remember on your journey of life, God will always be at your side. Feel that breeze, that touch on your face, that feeling as that is God within.

We all start off as strangers in this world

We all start off as strangers in this world that our creator created for us but in the background, unknown to us there is a lot of activity that goes on in the universe. Most of us have never met, some maybe never will but for those that have found that link will communicate with each other by thought and our souls will always have that deep spiritual connection. Unknown to us, our guides, angels will be planning away in the spirit world and they will feed us words via thoughts. We will only now what that is if we listen to our gut, those feelings and ask those deep questions as to the why we are so connected. But not everyone will have the strength to follow that gut and for those that do will find out the reasons when the time is right for the answers to appear. 

So that stranger that once was just that, will no longer be that as that connection would have being made and our souls will continue with the work via the universes until we are both ready to work side by side on this beautiful earth that was a gift from our creator.

Knocking on heavens doors

Still remember the time my soul came out of my body and I really thought I was leaving this earth for good. In my mind I was begging for a second chance, I was pleading with my maker, asking for one more chance, promising him that I will continue with my peace mission. (When you are out of your body, you can't move you feel lifeless, you want to talk and it's all thought controlled). I was very scared and suddenly I felt my grandmothers soul appear as she kissed my face, I felt her skin touch mine, I felt at peace, I felt at ease and I was back in my body. I thanked my maker for giving me a second chance, and that's one of the many reasons I do what I do. I love each and everyone to the max. 

When our creator calls us back, we won't really have a choice and if it's your time to go, you will be called back. I don't think that morning was my time, then again no one is aware nor knows if and when. So make the most of your life on earth, as your here to learn the vast amount of lessons that you will eventually take back home,for eternity. 

I do miss my dearest grandmother and we will meet again one day. 

( God willing). 

Insha Allah, God willing and hoping she will be the one that stands at the bright white light to hold my hand and to take me through.

A story for Jumma, about rice and that path that I didn't take

Anything can trigger a memory from the past and for me it was the mention of rice. Twenty years ago, in my younger days, when I was free and very single, I was offered a job as a nanny with a well known rice manufactures. At the time of going to the actual interview I wasn't aware of their high status, as the agency didn't mention it, I was young and very naive, still am today. I went to the interview with two of my friends, in my small car that just about made it there. It was in a small village in London, we entered the house and made ourselves comfortable, as I'm a very natural person.The family immediately took a liking to me and offered me the job on the spot as I got on with their children. In the package they included a flat of my own and it was nice. But in those days, I wasn't this strong women that you see today and I was scared of change. I could have taken the risk, as I was alone in london and living in this one bedroom bedsit. I did have a job already too, in an hotel and I was coping financially. But I was scared to leave the friends that I had made, as I didn't really now of these people that wanted to employ me. They really desperately wanted me, as they kept phoning me and at the time I was too naive to understand why they would want me so much. I was loving in them days too as you master the art of hiding your problems and it's called having two lives. 

You see in life, our creator has given us that free will and many choices, different paths that we are able to choose from. If I had chosen to take that job, I wouldn't have met my hubby and had my lovely boys. I would have being on a completely different journey, as to what I am on today. 

"Life is a journey of many choices and each step that we take will lead us to a different path"

Jumma Mubarak and have a blessed friday.

No more man made wars

It's Remembrance Day today, year in the memory of those who have been affected in all conflicts.

Let's say a prayer to those that have lost ensuring that people remember those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy today.

Irrelevant of creed or colour ...Let's pray for countries that are still at war and the many lives that will be lost because man hasn't learn't the art of communicating yet. May that day be soon, where everyone will learn to live in peace and harmony. Let's visualize a day that will be filled with love so all will sort their differences out. 

My message as always, let there be no more man made WARS and we peace activists will continue to spread PEACE. 

May God guide us all. 

"The world will hold a 2 minute silence but we will remember everyone that has gone to the spirit world before their time"

A story for Jumma-A tree of life

A tree has a life of its own, it's routes go deep into the ground, deeper into the earth that we sow our food and when it reaches the very bottom the routes will come back up to the surface, holding the tree very securely in place. As it sprouts it's branches, it will grow and it can become any shape or form that it is written in its destiny by Allah. The tree will also have that free will, that choice and those feelings like us humans, as its alive. 

In a way, we are all like trees and growing with the nutrient that feeds us to gain that knowledge that is all around us. Our bodies are held firmly by this higher force and our legs are grounded solidly to the ground that goes deep into the soil spiritually. Like a tree, we will also branch out and experience the four seasons of change as each one takes place. 

We are all protected by our creator as we are its creations, any shape or form. 

Jumma Mubarak and have a blessed Friday. Find it in your heart to branch out to experience the worldly gifts that have being placed before us.

Just had a thought, rejoice in all religions

Allah (God) created us all and he is that thought in each of us. He guides each of us on our paths, be it different religions, creed and colour but he is that thought and he is one in all of us. We are one, each and every one of us on a different path, but the message is the same and that is to become one, rejoice in all religions, creed and colour.

Life is a plan, that is already set in place and our creator has a plan, that is to rejoice in all mankind. This is his big plan and you are all playing that part to live in harmony and peace. So let's think and be wise and create that harmony and peace that will better us and the world we live in.

Have a great day, learn to respect all religions and rejoice.

Diwali celebrations and those memories

Since it's Diwali, I fancy some jalibi and praying that I don't go back to memory lane, as I do have some amazing memories stored in there. 

Tell you a quick story though: 

Every Diwali, my grandmother used to go to the corner shop and get all the family jalibi's and they were just so out of this world. The family was massive too, but she still went and bought them as she loved us. 

I do miss my grandmother and I am lucky in a way, as she travels along side of me on this amazing journey of a lifetime, showering that scent that is only known to me. 

Think I will have to get hubby to get me some jalbi's.... 

Hope my grandmother is happy though, as I am missing her so much. 

And I've not cried yet, but those tears are at the back of my head and they can stay there as Allah has blessed me with such an beautiful family that love me for the person that I am. 

Love Sara — feeling like crying, but will be strong.

Your never alone, Jumma Mubarak

Allah (God) created you, gave you life and gifted you the goodness of the world that you live in.

He gave you goodness, happiness and joy for you to enjoy, as he never gives out badness. Then, why do you give in to the worldly problems that your faced with? 

Do you think his going to leave you to face them all by yourself? Just ask him and he will be ten steps ahead of you. He will already know the answer to your questions, even before you ask and he will have that answer already. 

But he does ask you to be patient and for you to silence your mind, in order to receive his answer that he has prepared for you. 

Never think that your all alone, as that will never be the case and he will be there for you forever. 

Live your life to the fullest and tackle each problem as it comes your way. But never give up on the life that he gifted to you to enjoy and to learn from. 

So that you could take all that teaching back and climb the magical steps to seventh heaven, your place that will be your home for eternity. 

Jumma Mubarak and have a blessed friday.
