Being turned down
Recently I'm going through a period of events where I'm being turned down quite a lot. Sometimes it makes me feel like I should have stayed away by handcuffing myself under the deep end of a pool.

My thanks goes to...
I don't go through college only for my own worldly benefits, rather I strive this course to attain Allah's pleasure.I doubt my current design lecturer would see this post, but nevertheless I'd like to thank him for everything he has done for me and the studio mates.

Ramadhan Reminder 1- A Wasted Fast
Ramadhan has arrived and we've made the intention to fast from day 1 until day 30. Theres so much benefit that comes from observing this obligatory deed. Its listed as the third of the pillars of Islam and we want to make sure that we do it well and gain as much benefit as possible. We all know this but how sure are we that our fast this Ramadhan will be accepted by Allah?According to a Fatwa from IslamQA.com there is a duty far more important than fasting, its called the 5 obligatory prayers.
