After spending an entire evening in frustrated tears worrying about an essay deadline, in the morning, I missed my bus to university. As I was about to succumb to heavy rain and defeat, my father pulled up in his car to take me. AHL.
Whilst printing my essay, I forgot to submit an online copy but the receptionist made me aware of that and also mentioned I got the format wrong. AHL.
I rushed back to the computer lab. I HAD 5 MINUTES TO GO TO REPRINT AND SUBMIT IN TIME! But I didn't have enough printing credit! Then someone next to me printed it for me and the receptionist let me submit it a couple minutes late. AHL.
Believe in the kindness of Allah's creatures! What should have been an awful day...turned into one that drove me to tears of gratitude.
On the way home the sun shone beautifully. AHL. :)

Khadija - Canada
The other day somebody saw me crying. He asked if I was okay and then apologized for not having any tissues to give me. Just goes to show that in the midst of hardship God sends down little mercies to remind you that the world is still beautiful. AHL!

Grateful Muslimah - London
Lately I've been stressed about my lack of revision for my GCSE exams in may. Today I woke up kinda stressed thinking of all the things I had to cram in this weekend before I go back to school on Monday. Worst of all I forgot to pray Fajr but once I prayed Dhuhr I felt relief and happiness knowing that Allah would help me throughout this hard time. AHL !

Amyra - California, USA
An article on suhaibwebb.com titled "Is that your profession or just your title?" made me think of my most beloved childhood memory. Growing up, I would always ask questions about how do I know that I am Muslim or how can Allah (swt) decide or acknowlegde me as a Muslim at the tender age of 2 years old? My mother told me if you know the difference between right and wrong automatically Allah (swt) starts to see you as a Muslim (our purpose is so simple) Takbeer Allahu Akbar AHL!!!!

Henna - India
Alhamdulillah for miracles! Yesterday, we were supposed to be at a certain city for an important appointment (if we missed it, then our application would be rejected with no choice of rescheduling). This city is 2 hours drive from where we live, and to top that they are 1 hour ahead of us. The appointment was early in the morning at 9 AM. So in order for us to be there at the appointed time, we had to leave our place at 5:30 AM. But as usual we ended up leaving half an hour late from our place. As we neared the city, I realized that we would be able to make it to the appointed place only by 9:10 AM with traffic. I prayed, leaving everything in His hands. Nearing the city, we took the wrong exit (thanks to all the constructions zones on the highway at this time of the year). I gasped, we were already late, and now we took the wrong turn! OMG! It is going to be even more late! But alhamdulillah, that very wrong turn took us to the appointed place 3 minutes earlier than the appointed time with no traffic to slow us down at all! Subhanallah! If this isn't a miracle then what is? AHL!
