With Hardship Comes Ease...

Allahu akbar! Again Allah (swt) showed me how incredibly amazing (too poor words...) He is and how He is always there and always have something for you - when you ask and when you don't...

I was feeling sad and frustrated because of a conversation/discussion with my husband, which again ended up with the conclusion that I never communicate enough. I always try avoiding conflicts and to ask too much of my husband and then of course conflicts arise in the end...

In stead of keeping the discussion going, which I usually would have done, I turned to Allah (swt) in prayer. I really realized then that when I, as a human being, can't sort out something, who is the Only One having the answers to every question?!...

I asked for help in my duaa and then in the Qur'an. Subhan'Allah... He gave me this beautiful answer:

Ramadan Day 16 & Duaa

This evening was my first Iftar alone because my husband was out. It is indeed a blessing to have loved ones or other people you care about to break the fast with.
My day was great. I threw some stuff out that has just been lying around in my closet and I cleaned the apartment and put things in order. I also cleaned and refilled this beautiful rose water sprinkler that my mother-in-law gave us.

Now I'm listening to one of my favorite duaa's, which I want to share with you here. It is the first part out of 2:

 

I hope to be able to go to the Friday-khutba tomorrow. Last week I found this hidden mosque in my city, where the khutba is given in my language :-) A lot of reverts come there.

Oh there are always new things to explore in Islam. New things that I didn't know. Sometimes it irritates me because I feel I know too little, but insha'Allah I will know more and more and Allah will open the necessary doors. I also hope that I will be able to join the Qur'an-lessons every Sunday after the Ramadan. I want to be able to recite the Qur'an, of course.
Today I thought about the fact that when you revert to Islam, it's like falling in love... And I keep falling in love (with Islam) over and over again, masha'Allah!
It's such a beautiful deen.

What do you sisters do to achieve more knowledge about Islam?
