Bismillah Hir Rahman Ir Raheem
Peace and blessings be upon you all
As is mentioned on my blog, I’m a member of a group called Muslimah Bloggers where multiple like-minded Muslimahs from multiple countries and walks of life blog, collaborate and help each other out.
Muslimah Bloggers is posting a series of Ramadan posts on its Facebook page and website. My work has also been featured on the website. Here’s a little highlight of my post:

Those verses are touching something deep into your soul that provides one with a sense of peace, carrying you on a journey to and from Allah. Do you want to know what Islam sounds like? It sounds like the beautiful recitation of the Holy Quran in a large congregation…………..”

Sad state of youth today. The bad has become so normalised that the good seems extreme.

I know right, exactly!! Alhamdulillah I didn’t fall into the bad but it was a very tough situation to go through as it was also a choice between being liked or alone. Nowadays it’s a bit different yet the same. Very sad state. Nowadays there is rarely anyone I know who doesn’t use abusive language.
