Assalamualakum.

MashAllah sister in Islam. May Allah almighty reward you in this life and the next life. Your story is a true motivation – mashAllah. Your story reminds me of my best friend and I. It is not only purifying to the soul to pray two rakahs but elevates you closer to Allah subhan wa ta’ala. In addition not only this, however, see how righteous friends can have such an effect on each other. It’s critically important to have a friend in the name of Allah, to guide you, support you and just to motivate you. Secondly, a small advice you might think it wont do good but small words can move mountains.

May Allah almighty bless our minds, hearts, souls, and words with nour and righteous wisdom – ameeen!
May Allah almighty guide everyone towards the righteous path, ameen!

Assalamualakum.

MashaAllah to all the brothers and sisters that took part in this competition. I voted for “A Word of Passing” by Bint AbdelHamid because her story actually made me pray 2 raka’ahs before going to sleep. Through her story she got me to get out of my chair and do something which will count toward the akhirah. She got me to actually get up and make a difference in my life.

Her story was something one can have fun reading, enjoy, shed a tear and break out a smile. While at the same time, her story didn’t just sit in my head and have me say to myself, “That was a nice story.” Instead, it got me to actually act upon what I read, Alhamdulillah!

Just my 2 cents :D

To all those who read it PLEASE do it pass it on.. I sent to the people on my list and so far two people replied, asking when the best time to pray would be, whether it’s only prayed in ramadan, etc.. Alhamdulillah..
